Something about seeing someone else there with Exposure Anxiety, it makes me set a good example :-) not of hiding it, but of doing in spite of it. relaxed! goodness, I was very split, half of me saying, no roller coaster, home now. the other part saying, nope, we're hear for a job and both of those Donna's got up on the stage and it was amazing the way they sort of co-operated by the end, the scared EA Donna was feeling, hey, roller coaster, again? and the military, show must go on trouper Donna was feeling, well, did a good job, good soldier, get some lemon tea now :-) I hope you see us play this Sunday. Can you make it? It's 2-5pm and we're fairly in charge down there. Reckon you and the boys could drop in for 30 min somewhere 4-5pm? They'd be so welcome. What's an autie spectrum band without a few buzzy little auties welcome at a daytime gig - headphones option for the noise ;-) anyway, all optional. I think you're right, those on the spectrum can consider not what feels impossible in a non-spectrum world, but how they might make a spectrum-friendly version for themselves rather than opt out entirely. We also have to dare break the stereotypes and fly beyond them. Hi Alex, wow, wild night!

Even though I (who wasn't even in the band) had totally freaked out 10 mins before you hit the stage. I didn't think I'd make it to see you all perform and I did. Donna, you sang like you have been performing for years. You all looked so relaxed and at ease with the whole thing. All I heard was positive feedback from everyone. You guys rocked the place! I hope to see you all perform again one day. As I thought you were an inspiration to all of us on the spectrum out there. The skies the limit. It really was an awesome gig.
