    Worst double feature ideas imaginable!

    I heard that when they were first released, Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro would play as a double feature in some theaters. I wonder if they played Totoro second to cheer people up after they had watched the former.

    Job Dilemma

    I would encourage you to do some research on why ABA is harmful to autistic children before you consider taking that sort of job. I don’t have any links in mind that I could give you, but there’s a lot of information out there from the autistic community that is in opposition to ABA.
