A Special Welcome to Aspies and Others on the Autistic Spectrum

Image
WE HAVE NOTICED an uptick in traffic related to the topics of nudity and autism this week.  This happens from time to time and we especially welcome those on the autistic spectrum to the Bare Platypus.  Stop in.  St ay a while. Feel free to ditch your clothes and no one will judge you here! Fact is, there are quite a few folks with Asperger's or other conditions on the autism spectrum who just know, inherently, that life feels better without clothes. We understand.  We really do! Clothes can be very uncomfortable for some of us. We also know that Aspies go on to grad school, med school, and much much more.  We hope you will continue to make the world a better place for nudists. If this describes you, we appreciate you for being you.   And we'll bare with you! Feel free to check out these Platypus blog posts: Revisiting Nudity and Autism Are we wearing naked genes?

So let's do a bit of imaginative thinking shall we?  What if it was warmer.  If Spring had arrived.  If we could be outside in the sunshine au naturale .  Now let's turn to even more creative thinking.  If you watched Star Trek episodes, or many other programs on a SciFi network, you know that the subject of parallel universes is a regular theme.  Writers explore alternative realities where Spock and Kirk knew each other as college age friends.  Where Dr. Who never did battle with the Dalek invaders.  Stuff like that.  It's the stuff most episodes of Rick & Morty  are made about. The Platypus Team saw these types of shows, of course, but figured it...

Naked Yard Ornaments Revisited

Some time back the Bare Platypus issued "A Call for Naked Yard Ornaments" in which we called upon fellow nudists to put a little nudity into their yard in the form of signs or statuary.  Read the post, which generated several comments, here:  A call for naked yard ornaments  . Maybe we were a bit too hasty. It seems that displaying something as innocuous as a garden gnome flashing his bare bum can get you into trouble - at least if you live in the U.K.  For example, consider this article which we read last week in which police threatened a man with arrest after a neighbor (who is also a retired police officer) complained, saying "his wife and children felt threatened for their safety" by the statuette:  Man faces arrest over naked gnome  . While searching for that article to write this blog post, believe it or not we encountered a different case in which a 60+ year old woman's  Naked Gnomes Ordered to Cover Up  from just a few months ago. What is ...
