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.

- How I Met NikoShort Story – this is a piece of fiction. I have never been to Tokyo and I am not married at this time.
- Black Eyes and Licorice PizzaA lot happens behind the scenes. Those with power wield their power so that we, those without, continue to see them with reverance and awe. Neither should be given unconditionally and those with power should be held to the same standard as the rest of us.
- A 22 and a Damned InvasionOne life lesson that is hard to accept is that even though many want to do more to help, they are unwilling to give up what they have in the now for a future that may well indeed be more bleak. Do your best with what you have and enjoy the now. It is really all we have in these uncertain crazy times.
- The Death of the LibraryWe should learn a lesson from libraries, the place where we seperate fact from fiction. There is a line that demarks what is real and what is not. Without it, we all just become users of fancy believing that stories are real and real is a lie.

Marine and the Hippie 220515 S02E13- Missing Standards – The Marine and the Hippie
In this dialogue, we talk about standards, and how the lack of standards leads to the failure of Democrats to protect Roe v. Wade. Voters are willing to let the government and the country to run on autopilot until the enemies of rights finally start succeeding in taking away rights. The Republicans have been working and organizing and winning state houses, congressional elections and judgeships for 50 years, and the Democrats, whenever they have a chance, they fail to do anything to reverse the gains made by the Republicans. The standards that Democratic voters have for their elected officials are so low that they'll accept anyone who isn't a republican, and some who are. But this leads to the elimination of rights. And now, the Democrats wonder why rights are being taken away. This is a result of the failure of Democratic voters to hold their representatives accountable for their failure to legislate on behalf of the people.
