Observations from the Spectrum
An autistic adult’s third point of view about many world topics and some stories along the way
Life unfold as it should. Rarely how we imagine.
Dylan Netter



Many times I find myself thinking I am the only one who thinks like me. It is not true yet my echo chamber is not well inhabited. I get this. My ideas are my own. I write with the HOPE that my work resonates with some and creates a ripple effect of change.
- Academia is like the Dominoes of Pizza or the Kraft of CheeseWe are watching daily a trial that for all extensive purposes is occuring because an Academic viewed herself as a Teacher. Academics are not teachers. They live in a place that is inaccessible by design by most. Politics is one by those who speak to the people, not above them.
- A Letter from GodDear Humanity, Since Heaven expands with space and time we are noticing up here that there are huge expanses of space without any souls. It’s […]
- Guardians, Custodians and NeighborsProtect earth from all those that do it harm purposely or in the name of some entity that is undefinable. Be a neighbor that can live next door to another without building a fence.
- Stamina vs InsanityThe sane can clearly see solutions. The insane have the stamina to block them. We may want to stop giving more power and voice to the insane including polticians and grandparents who use single use plastic bags. Crazy is winning
- Fell Through the CracksAmerica has a Mental Health Crisis. Some of our neighbors are sick and decide to act. They are falling through the cracks. The solution is simple. It’s not more jails or taking away guns. It’s free access for all to better healthcare including mental. I did not like writing this piece.
- America’s Gun Mental Healthcare CrisisPoliticians lie. That is their job. They lie so that they can placate those below them and do the bidding of those above them. If, for a minute, you think that there are not those enjoying American violence as entertainment then you need figure out how to look under the hood.

Marine and the Hippie 220613 S02E16- Guns Guns Guns! – The Marine and the Hippie
In this dialogue, we the gun crisis in the US. In the aftermath of the deadly school shooting in Uvalde Texas, as well as other mass shootings across the country, it is clear that there is a gun problem in the US. The numbers suggest that the reason people claim they want to keep firearms, justifiable, legal intervention in protection of life and limb, constitute a tiny percentage of firearm deaths, while the vast majority of death caused by firearms is either homicide, suicide or negligence. In place of the pell mell, laissez faire attitude that we have in the US toward firearms, and in opposition to the "ban all guns" attitude held by ignorant Americans, what we should do is regulate firearms like we do cars, and then train gun owners on safety and responsible ownership of firearms. Only then can we get buy in from actual gun owners and help from them to pass legislation and policy that would increase safety in the US.
