It of came with little fanfare that my counselor said I fit a lot of the criteria for Aspergers. But that also came in the same sentence with her saying that she wasn't going to formally label me because she hasn't seen enough of the evidence to convince her is had a marked effect on my life...
Sometime last Spring I believe, maybe earlier, I was taking a walk with one of my close friends. I suddenly asked her- in earnest- "Why is it I always seem to incite conflict? It's not my intention."
She thought for a moment and said she didn't see me doing that. That it's not something she...
so, I just found out about the blogs here, and I'm thinking that I should start documenting my journey to trying to find a diagnosis. Whether I come up with an answer of ASD or not, I feel close enough to the community, and sure enough of what my diagnosis could be, that it's pertinent to talk...
Another wrestling-with-the-angels post, from an "aspiscopalian." My opinions represent myself only and express my experiences only.
I went to church this morning because I had a reading. Otherwise, I think I would not have gone.
Reading a lesson at one of the high holidays isn't an accidental...
If I could categorize these posts, this one would have Spirituality or Soulwork as its tag. I can't stop talking about this week's choir story. I just can't find any relief except from looping, and looping is burning it into my throat, closing it.
A long time ago, when I was in my twenties, I...
Life sometimes is confusing. For a variety of reasons, but rarely for the following I’m about to write about. I suppose a little notion of “this might be emotional to some” comes in effect here. (And, a little bit of swearing)
A precedence which seems to be relevant in this; It’s not that weird...
Previously: Energy Webs introduced my uneasiness about what makes a photograph rise to the status of fine art: it's not just a mastery of technique. I can make technically perfect pictures that bore me. What else gets in there? And what got to me on this trip?
"All houses in which men have...
I had to yell at one of my doctors yesterday.
To give a head's up: This is about way more than girly hormone stuff, so you might want to stick around if it would otherwise weird you out.
I started a new birth control recently. I had been on a hormonal shot for a long time- part of this is for...
The things my psyche wants me to articulate now are finally getting words hung on them. (For more on why you know what you want to say but can't say it, look at wikipedia entry on expressive aphasia. My apologies to cognitive scientists who already know this stuff. You may also enjoy Brent's...
Inspired by recent events in my life, here and elsewhere, and catalyzed by a presentation on ancient wisdom and respect for nature. Unfortunately, the piece is so short--less than 5 minutes--that I didn't get as much as I wanted.
The story opens with a man who concealed himself to take...
I had an exchange with someone once on how aggravating it is to find NT "issues" for why aspies don't behave like NTs. I bit my lip and accepted it when the mod explained (with patience, and I appreciated it) that NTs come to the board to understand, and that it's good to try to help them...
Living based on neuronal firing. That's what I like to think at least. Neural control in the end influences everything about the body. It can be argued that signalling is controlled by neural and hormonal elements, and this is definitely fair, but without the neural elements (the hypothalamus...
Previously: if a person is a person through other people, what happens when a person is substantially different from other people? How different can you be, and still be human? What is it I see that determines whether I greet you, flee you, or kill you?
EDIT: Related to The Social Model and...
OK, I admit that possession is not 9/10ths of the law, and before you all go running off to find an exorcist I can safely say that I'm not talking about that kind of possession either.
Within taoism, and especially acupuncture, there is another meaning to the term 'being possessed' and that is...
A week ago my mom told me that I was an accident, yes as you read an "accident", I was been thinking this since I was 12 year old; that I was the second biggest mistake of my mom and so for that the less loved one, gotta say, and also last year I was having a discussion with my brother, the...
I've been having greatly increased OCD symptoms lately. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing because with OCD, you are aware- completely- that what you are doing doesn't make sense. You are aware that the things causing you fear are not logical, not rational, have no place in reality.
On the...
A break from my usual scope, prompted by a question from a friend.
Liturgy B. Woodblock print. Matsubara Naoko, 1995.
Ubuntu/Hunhu philosophy, distilled to its essence by Michael Onyebuchi Eze: "A person is a person through other people." The term ‘ ubuntu' is from south African languages...
It's hard for me to understand why losses that other people seem to take in stride weigh upon me. A simple change feels funerary. Several at once from all sides is like walking the Inferno without Dante. It's worse if even the Hanging Judge (my severest internal critic, a source of unending...
Smoking!

I sent a letter to my one roommate who has been smoking in the apartment. I CC'd my other roommate, my mother and my father. I am not really communicating with my father right now but he is a landlord and the smoking roommate is aware of this and has also met both of my parents and...
I turn into the wind, touching the book of poems in my pocket for comfort.
I will be blogging, but limiting other AC activity for a bit.
