I was looking for one of Billy Collins animated poetry videos, so of course youtube recommended this.
Please enjoy.
Hahaha.
Hi. I'm Mike. Someone on an Aspergers forum asked the question, "Why do I have Aspergers," and I wanted to reply, but somehow I lost him. I don't know the complete answer to his question because the answer is different for everyone. I know a couple of causal circumstances, and I hope we can pool...
One of my supervisors reminds me a lot of my mom, and anyone who reads my blog posts oughta know that's not a good thing. Maybe i'm just reading her wrong but she always seems strict mood-wise, never friendly, just to the point. Her only other mood seems to be an annoyed one - again, i could be...
My new psychiatrist in OCD clinic wrote a [smallish] article/paper in a journal about, basically, the prevalence of cases where individuals with a history of mental health diagnoses have their other health care and diagnoses affected because of the mental health diagnoses. That is, providers who...
So a jerk-mom goes way to far in "disciplining" her child, and someone, rightly, calls CPS and the police. And then the woman brags about it on her blog. I mean, man, this woman is just so full of herself.
The scary thing? At least half the commenting people are supportive of her.
The Time I...
My friend Stephanie has a soft spot for damaged or stray dogs. She's a skilled alpha female who didn't hesitate to wrestle one of her new dogs to the floor and establish, very unambiguously, that she is the alpha, and there will be no question about that, now or ever.
Stephanie once had a dog...
Why do some rise and fall, while others just plod along in life? Today is the anniversary of Anne Boleyn's execution. Her headless ghost is said to drive a carriage, walk Tower Green, and haunt Blickling Manor and Hever Castle. But it's her ability to symbolize the hazards of a woman not like...
More and more I’ve been running into an interesting situation. By my therapist, by social services… and even the government office who pays disability income (despite I’m not a recipient; I have been there a few times for interviews).
As it is now more and more the focus is shifted towards...
One of the things this blog does for me is provide some kind of minimal accountability:
It's part of my daily writing regimen.
I can't just write blah blah blah. If I'm going to blah, it has to blah about something. I mean, I do think about you, Reader. (Gentle Reader, if you're an Isaac Asimov...
I haven't been feeling well off and on for a while- like a few months. Not feeling well as in this vague "have a broad symptom" cold type feeling.
But then there's been some nausea and some chest congestion involvement.
The past maybe 2-3 weeks it's gotten worse. Plus coughing. And my...
So, now that I got the referral from my PCP, I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere.
I couldn't get in to see a neuropsychologist like had been in the original intent. I guess my insurance doesn't pay for that. But, I did get in to see a clinical psychologist.
I really didn't think it would...
This is an expansion of my post on why I signed the Petition Against Autism Speaks, which anthoskate published this morning in the General Autism Spectrum Discussions>General Autism Discussion. As usual, my first effort always benefits from editing; there was more I could have done, and much I...
Procrustes was an innkeeper who adjusted his guests to their bed. Procrustes, whose name means "he who stretches," offered hospitality to travelers with a unique value proposition: a bed that exactly matched whoever lay down upon it. When the guest lay down, Procrustes racked the traveler if he...
After yesterday’s blog I posted about choices I had a sudden moment of clarity. I have these moments from time to time… out of nothing. One thought becomes the next… and I had it when reading a comicbook; one, I didn’t like (which is why I stopped reading it and writing here). So maybe what set...
NB: Might be having an episode or maybe too cowardice to pin what I am about to say to my chest.
A dross open letter to those who have 'made it' (even though they seem to be ignorant of that fact).
To all of you Functional Aspiez:
Dear FuAs's! I am delighted (neigh, covetous) for your current...
Looking at Wrong Planet's narrative and numbers, and King_Oni's recent posts, I wonder if the ability to define myself not by issues and others, but by interests and loves, is what would make the difference between repelling and attracting positive things in life.
How do I turn my engine into a...
After a bit of a back and forth with my careercoach and therapist I've come to the point where they think I cannot make choices. Perhaps they're right.
Here's the thing though; I can easily tell what I don't want (which IMO is a choice as well). It just takes a bit longer to eliminate...
The more I think about it, the more I notice it. The world is based upon too many assumptions. And granted, it has worked fine for most part. Perhaps it’s partially because I’m an aspie that I’m being confronted with the fact that either I, nor others with whom I (have to) interact shouldn’t...
To be a rabbit with wise eyes requires anxiety, experience, fecundity, and the ability to find a fourth way: one that is not fight, flight, or freeze. This little essay plays with the mechanics of anxiety, using Lisa Olstein's poem ("Rabbit with Wise Eyes" from Little Stranger) and Philip...
