Explaining why I say I feel "ashamed" about my conditionThank you for understanding. I have had a few people here tell me that it's inappropriate to say that I'm ashamed of having autism on an autism...

Explaining why I say I feel "ashamed" about my conditionIt's very understandable for someone who went through trauma and neglect to feel shameful of autism. Besides shame is an emotion and emotions are...

the yelling,
it gets me grumpy,
and i'm being immature,
of course,
i know,
freeze is not acceptable,
new stress is not commendable,
froze in action is not to be,
tears require implicit trust,
yelling back brings more fuss,
no solution,
is the answer,
stress, go away,
i know of no way,
for my...
Jesus was something else, right? From the amazing and fantastic details of His death in Matthew, to the specifics of his birth and childhood in Luke, to the family occupation in Mark, to the fact that the very guards who came at night to take Him away bowed before Him in John... Jesus is God...
Thirteen is a number associated with loss. I bet you didn't know that. Anyways, I found that bit of information from a year of Bible encryption studies. And so, this 13th page should be a page about loss. Of some sort. I guess. Though as I'm an odd one here comparatively, this loss spoken...
Woke up this morning thinking Bible Prophecy,
As events just hum that direction,
The seven thousand mark is the completion of the week,
Jesus reigns a thousand years in Revelation,
So six thousand is the wait,
Six working days,
The Jewish Calendar according to Chabad and Google,
Is fifty-seven...
I'm thankful for today,
For I breathed another breath,
And then one after that,
And yet another,
Now how do I do something,
With such a precious gift,
For in all efforts,
I must breathe,
But I hope that I make good efforts,
That lead to good things.
No one seems to follow Revelation,
Not that...
See, the thing is, at some point the 'automatically forgiven' for lousy interpersonal skills disappears due to expectations of age. All of the sudden, your grades aren't so hot anymore because of your interpersonal skills. That was the sort of thing you prided yourself with because if I can't...
So... life funnies. Do you know how on these ASD tests, they ask questions like, 'do you ever take things too literally?' Well, if you don't know that, plenty of tests checking for ASD do.
One time, I got in so much trouble. I was waiting to die if it were by parents, as every kid must have...
If you have learned nothing in the last 7 pages of this blog, then let me say one thing that I hope you will remember:
Crying is to HSPs(Highly Sensitive Persons) what Stimming is to Autistics.
These two things are stress relief designed and built into these personalities. If they are not...
I was recently sitting with someone and chatting with them. One of those sorts that the bad guys should all die, completely rejects the humanness of them. I mean, I get this. It's real. In wartime it's useful, in peace it's sociopathic. Me? I excused myself and found other places to go...
"When we withhold trust out of fear or cynicism, we starve our humanity."
This sentence holds alot of meaning to me. Fear is the core of what plagues my very mind and heart. Fear that was seeded from my parent's upbringing and the fact that I at no point in my life questioned any of it till...
So the HSP thing. Simply put, that ain't about guys wanting dolls when they're growing up. Let's be real, kids often lean to their environment around them... at least before the teenage years. I'm not sure I understand this whole doll thing everybody keeps talking about. Excluding the...
blue lights in my sight,
full moon rose above tonight,
all around is expectations,
but are they good,
or do we need lessons?
a Bible near me,
unopened,
needs to be read,
if all of them were,
what would be in my head?
cats hiding in the night,
little black cats run from sight,
hiding, curious...
Someone was trying to break into my computer at a time during a previous login. Do people not understand that graffiti in the wrong context is painting on paper that isn't yours? I'm just saying, virtual machines people, you can break into virtual machines you create on your own computer. If...
I think I might be leaning toward Jay Adams and Heath Lambert in Biblical Psychology. Maybe everything really is a choice once I know Jesus. I mean, in all these tests I seem to be able to choose my score by the questions I choose to answer in the way I decide to answer those questions. I...
A place where high scores are found in psychometric tests!
The Aspie 5 took more effort than some other tests. 200 questions is a lot of questions to get perfect answers with. This test was the coolest one because it had an informational chart. The first time I took this test, I didn't...
One thing that taking these autism tests and related tests has helped with is seeing oddities about me that I never considered. I mean, I most certainly fiddle with them until I reach high score, organizing in my head what is being counted. Who doesn't want the high score in any particular...
