Am I A Drummer With Autism Or Am I A Person With Autism Who Plays Drums? By Andres Ortiz, 02/2021 Photo courtesy of Andres Ortiz, Photography Class Project My name is Andres Ortiz and I have high functioning autism. I’ve been playing drums for about 16 years. Playing drums makes me feel energetic, happy and special both inside and out. Learning to play the drums has helped me in lots of ways.  Not only do I have a better appreciation of lots of kinds of music but my social skills have gotten a lot better because being in a band means that you have to understand other people.   Music has been my link to the neurotypical community.  When I’m behind the kit, no one knows that I am different. Music has helped my behavior, social and communication skills. It doesn't matter if I am playing or listening to music. Playing the drums makes me a better musician and a better person. When I first started jamming with people, I was worried about being accepted and being a good enough...

Game Review, By Alex Antonov ~ "Origami Got Me!" The Excitement Unfolds Origami Got Me! Everybody has their favorite Mario game. Mine is Paper Mario the Origami King . It's funny, colorful, creative, and full of surprises. As Paper Mario continues his journey around the world, he sets out to rescue Princess Peach from her castle that has been seized by ORIGAMI! In fact, cool origami unfolds everywhere in this game! To accomplish his mission, Mario has to find the end of five massive color streamers, which take him to all kinds of amazing landscapes, challenging games, unique boss battles, and interesting characters, who are of course made of origami. I haven't finished the game yet but I'm not going to give up! And besides, the longer it takes me, the more fun I'll have!
