Linkage Of The NOW:

Okay, what color-blind, arthritic Navajo woman dresses the Gossip Girl cast? I've already dug into Chuck Bass' ascot phase (it looked better on Freddy from Scooby-Doo), but I have to tell you, Chuck, orange and pink don't match! (Just Jared)

Personally, I think Pete Wentz is picking-up the bill for the prenatal messages for Asslee to take the heat of him getting his own... ehmm... "massages." (Popcrunch)

Is Michael Phelps a douchebag? See, I'm not the only one who can be critical. At least now I'm not getting bashed by soccer moms with developing drinking problems. (Best Week Ever)

Gawker delivers another shitty (literally) story about an NBC intern. (Gawker)

Jennie Garth says it's not that bad working with Shannen Doherty -she could be working with the Red Chinese, or North Korea. When will Kim Jong-Il get his own series? (Celebitchy)

American Apparel makes "Afrikan" clothing for urban hipsters. It's okay to look black in LA, as long as you aren't actually black. (Jossip)

Forlorn Phelps phan wonders, 'is it still gay if I do it with the greatest Olympian of all time?' (PopSugar)

The Yeti look is all the rage, just ask Alanis Morissette. She oughta know! (Gravy and Biscuits)

Rant Of The NOW:

I don't bring it up much, folks, but I'm autistic. There are very few resources to help adults with autism. The overall impression of most Americans is that mental disabilities are grown out of by the end of childhood and this couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality, autism is basically a difference in the brain's neural structure - this is why people without autism are referred to as neurotypical - and one can never grow out of it. There are both those that suffer from high-functioning and low-functioning autism. Low-functioning autistics typically have IQs less than 70. High-functioning autistics and those with disorders in the autistic spectrum (i.e., Asperger's - which is the syndrome with which I was diagnosed) can go years, even their entire lifetimes either being misdiagnosed, or just considered odd outsiders. It can be difficult for a high-functioning autistic or Aspie to hold a job, form social relationships, or even live on their own. I guess the point I am getting at is that our society needs to be more understanding and offer more services to those with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).
