Changing relationships--work, church, or major routines--make me behave kind of oddly. I don't know how to read myself, or how other people will read me. Trying to resolve my choir crisis, I printed out two of my own blog pieces (Psalm 51 and Aspie reads the Book of Numbers), and the inside...

So pain is no where near where it was. But it's different, and kind of bad. I'm pretty sure that is a combination of not really sleeping a whole lot/well and being so completely stressed out and anxious that the tension in my upper back is just totally ****ing everything. So it's really...

Related to the thread on Who am I? The one thing that causes people with aptitude, ability, and ambition to become better than themselves isn't talent, or genius, or even luck, said one book I read recently. The distinguishing attribute is "deliberate practice." The perceptiveness about seeking...

I was reading a story about a man in Denmark who committed suicide after his happy well behaved dog was taken from him and euthanized because it resembled a pitbull-type dog. One of the people commenting wrote the following. "Dogs ARE possessions. The dog breed was BANNED - end of story. He...

"Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief..." Grief Lessons: a Book of Questions.... I sat in the tiny, sunlit office, for the second-to-the-last-time, and the moment I sat down, I couldn't speak. I could feel an angry wire...
The first time I read that as an aspie, I would have problems with "executive function," I shrugged it off with the thought, "I never wanted to run the company." I'm fortunate in that unlike many of my siblings on the spectrum, I've been able to hold down a job (or get a succession of them), buy...

I have repeatedly tried to explain it by comparing the idea to the airline staff instruction: "...in the event of decompression, secure your own mask first and then assist other passengers." --- Ok wait: So I've been saying this for years and then I just now went to look for literal specific...

I won't quote the post that spurred this entry--or the approving(!) follow-up, but I have to say: we aspies can easily earn a reputation for cruelty, smallness, or indifference all too easily. Having a social deficit is no excuse for mocking other disabilities; the first is a given, but the...
I'm not sure I like the new contract that the client has already assumed I'll accept. However, it occurs to me that the strengths others need and draw from me may not always be the ones I want to exercise. It has already occurred to me that by not answering the question someone was presumptuous...

I just read about a sad sad event where a lab attacked a woman and her baby. The woman's pit bull defended her owner, by fighting the lab. The lab grabbed the woman's leg, and the lab's owner ran out with a shotgun and shot the pit bull. Why protect the lab (which was the aggressor) from the...

I wrote elsewhere about how I'm having a really hard time getting my OCD meds right now. What's messed up is that I just feel like I can't get a freaking break. I know I am constantly complaining. But, please, if it is bothering you, don't read this. That's not at all "passive aggressive" or...

This is actually an entry I wrote on my external blog. I just really like it and haven't been able to put a whole... thing together. And this really is appropriate. I hope it is clear that it isn't aimed to anyone here. Again, it is from an off-site blog I write in off and on- updated and...

so, I guess I don't know what to do at this point. after talking with the counselor the other day, and her confirming that I do match a lot of the traits of aspergers, but her saying that she wouldn't "put that label" on me because she didn't think I matched enough of them, I was a bit...

No, I'm not kidding. I haven't written this yet. But I keep wanting to write it, and if I just think about it and do nothing but say "oh I'm sick I'll do it when I'm done" I'M NOT GOING TO even when i feel better. So now I posted this so I kind of have to have some follow through. So, crap...

I'm preparing a speech for a class that I'm taking. It's a speech against breed-specific legislation in regards to dogs. When first embarking on the journey of research, I knew that as the owner of an American Pitbull Terrier dog I was biased, and, while I hoped the research would support my...
Over the years I have been asked a similar line of questions a good number of times, things like how were things over there, did you do anything you regret, did anything bad happen etc. Most would consider this a strange line of questions, but for a Soldier coming back from Afghanistan this was...

Eastern philosophies can appear mysterious or unfathomable to the western mind, and beneath many of those philosophies lies an energy that is sorely misunderstood. The power of Chi (or Qi ~ pron. Chee). Chi is not confined to the Chinese mindset as it also occurs as Ki (Reiki) in Japan, Prana...

yeah so I think I figured something out a little bit ago. kind of while I was half-dozing. I'm exhausted lately. Everything tears me up. "Resilience is generally thought of as a "positive adaptation" after a stressful or adverse situation. In other words, resilience is one's ability to bounce...
