Alex is able to sit through live performances these days, so a couple of times a year we go to a circus, where he enjoys high-wire acrobatics and the spectacle of bodies literally flying through the air. He seems to enjoy more of the performance each time he goes. Yesterday he seemed to really pay attention to the superlative juggling (more things flying through the air, I guess) as well as the first appearance of the elephant, parading grandly around the ring. Photo/Jill Cornfield While we were waiting to get in, we saw a number of kids and people on the spectrum. It seems like the circus is a great place to go for people who can take the dar...

Now, here's something a little more unusual: a circus acrobat! Dolly Jacobs is Circus Sarasota's "Queen of the Air." She recently gave an interview to the Bradenton Herald about her life in the circus.Trim and petite like a dancer, Jacobs was diagnosed ten years ago. How did it happen? She had the warning signs most type 1s experience: weight loss and a killer thirst she just could not quench. Her mom already had type 1, so during a routine office visit, Jacobs asked the doc to check her blood sugar too. Whoa. It was 260 - way, way above normal. Jacobs was diagnosed not with type 1, but with a rarer form sometimes dubbe...

If Dr. Dazzler has been to the circus many times before as the doctor on call, why is he still an intern? Does the circus come to town that often, or has he been an intern for a long time? 2. Does Dan really think he can suck all that poison out through that tiny straw? Personally, I would tie the tourniquet and then just take her to the hospital ASAP. 3. Wouldn’t this story be so much better if it featured the Flying Graysons instead of the Zooming Zamprellis, and Dr. Dazzler just happened to be there the night Dick Grayson’s parents were killed? He could have tried to save them, but to no avail. That would be great! 4. Does John Philip Sousa know that the ringmaster stole his outfit? *Dr. Dan Dazzler was the four-page back-up comic that ran in Dell&#8...

As writes in his poem, “Tackled by Asperger”: If you had me write what I do wrong I might correctly answer you But I always seem to goof things up My mind, it breaks my heart in two. Mariani is profiled in an article in the April 22nd TheDay.com (CT). His younger sister Debbie Parise notes that: “He did a lot of unusual things,” she recalls [of their childhood]. “He used to run back and forth from the corner of our living room, shaking his hands. He wore a path in my mother’s rug. But, as a little girl, I thought that’s what everybody’s brother did.” Parise says their mother took Mariani to doctors and psychologists, but “back then, they didn’t know what...
