Autism meet ups for parents and their children

Are there any weekly meet ups in the Austin/greater Austin area to give their child the opportunity to interact with others their age in the autism community and meet other parents with children who are on the spectrum?

Is the marketing team at ACL living under a rock? (No pun intended). For the last 5 years Shoegaze, Nu Metal, Grunge and just 90s Alt Rock in general has made a huge comeback with new bands adopting those sounds.

Fleshwater, Julie, Glare, Die Spitz, Return to Dust, Sludge Mother, Identity Crisis, Hello Mary, Bleed, Druidess, Farmers Wife, Ringo Deathstarr, All Under Heaven, DIIV and so many others would have been great on this list.

I’ve been asking the question lately of if Darcy/James didn’t matter because Billy re-recorded their parts, then why is every album after Gish, Siamese, Melancholy, Adore and Pisces not up to par?

Conclusion:

The chemistry of this line up still mattered

James brought texture, restraint, and atmosphere

Darcy contributed image, attitude and harmony vocals that shaped the identity. Even the songs where she has lead vocal parts (ex. Daydream) brought contrast to the band

Butch helped shape the dense guitar layering, having cleaner song structure and balancing Billy’s ambition with accessibility

Billy may have created the blueprint but the original lineup made it emotionally believable
