Woman gets Happy Ending after YouTube Videos

Check out this video review from ABC News: Woman Posts 62 BreakUp Videos on YouTube.

WOW, I’m very surprised that her boyfriend came back after all that ‘public’ display of drama. Most men don’t like anything aired in ‘public’…. but this is WAY over the top. And some men thought I was ‘too emotional’ when I got a little teary after being lied to. Wow, they had no idea did they?!

I hope her boyfriend was wise to see how much she loved him and realized how much he had hurt her.  I'm very glad that she got a Happy Ending and I hope he treats her very well.

As far as technology goes, I think it has changed things for sure. In one way, it’s harder for some people to cheat or live double lives. Which of course is good! On the other hand I see how places like Facebook have really damaged some relationships because one or both parties share too much personal information about their relationship or worst yet, about previous relationships while they are ‘connected’ with their current one on facebook. Privacy in a relationship is very important. Something that technology can certainly compromise at the very least.

I hope some learn from this and not go out and start posting YouTube videos instead of Facebook messages. It won’t usually work out the way they want, like it did for this lady.

So what do You think about the advance of technology and social media on relationships, especially dating?

When the Autistic Want to Work

I fight with Voc Rehab and other organizations, for employment and training for my son with Asperger Syndrome all the time. The excuse is that his AS falls through the cracks for services. Very frustrating to me when I have a son who WANTS to WORK and all anyone can tell me is that he should apply for disability. He doesn't want to. He wants to work!

In addition to wanting to be independent, working also helps strengthen not only his jobs skills, but his self-esteem and social skills as well. I usually find his summer job myself with the help of great friends.

I have heard lots of excuses over the years; but none of them I accept. No excuses! These kids and adults can contribute to society and they will with more awareness and people like the founder of Specialisterne.  This company only hires people with Autism.

I saw the story about the Specialistern last night on ABC News.  What a wonderful father, family and story!  I have thought about that a lot, creating something like this for my son.  Some of the people that now work for this company have never had a job or have not had a decent job for 20 years.  So sad when those who want to work and can contribute considerably to sociaty are kept out of the work force.

When the Autistic want to work they should be given every opportunity and assistance possible!
We need more people and more awareness of the value of those brilliant people with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.  April is Autism Awareness month and hope that awareness brings a lot of new opportunities for people like those at Specialistem and my son!
