Elyse Bruce (Founder, midnightinchicago.com):

We interviewed Douglas Giesel who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lewis, who talks about Asperger Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis. Both interviews are very enlightening as they discuss the obstacles of invisible disabilities and how the outside world reacts to those with invisible disabilities.

Douglas talks about his MS and about the stereotypes he used to have about Autism. He even uses the phrase “… something that IRKS me to no end …” Hahaha!

And then there’s the ever delightful Lewis and he has a lot to say about Autism, about his new school situation, about his latest diagnosis and more.”

Elysian Folk Anthems

Elyse Bruce is a songwriter, composer, arranger, performer, educator, and arts events organizer. With a strong background in classical, jazz and pop music, calling Elyse an eclectic artist only scratches the surface. Elyse defies labels and convention, preferring to write and perform according to her heart’s desire. And yet, each song written and each song performed retains a quality that can only be described as Elyse’s “signature sound.”

A member of the American Federation of Musicians (local 446), the Peterborough Arts Umbrella, the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, the Guild of Canadian Film Composers, and SOCAN, Elyse balances her time between writing and recording music, wrangling with new technology, teaching songwriting and marketing courses at Trent University, raising her totally awesome Asperger child [Lewis Schofield, a regular Irked contributor], and thinking up—and putting into motion—new and exciting projects that involve as many people as possible.

Elyse can be found online at http://www.ElyseBruce.com. Her latest project, an artist-driven international autism fundraiser called Midnight in Chicago, can be found here.
