We've been hearing a lot about police brutality lately in the wake of what has happened in Ferguson and other places. While I agree that police brutality is an issue that needs to be addressed, and some communities have been addressing it long before Ferguson, there is another issue that is not...

Too tired to say much, and too important not to make part of my blog entry. It's still not quite real yet, even with the hour-long commute. The manager has an aspie vibe--wasn't a bit shocked that I couldn't find my car in the parking lot, was so matter-of-fact about it, without that sticky...

On a scale of one to ten how lonely are you? One being barely at all. Ten being extremely lonely. What are your thoughts on loneliness?

This morning I went to court with my neighbors to see what it was like and to pass out information to my fellow tenants who had been served with past due/eviction notices over the weekend. It was a very interesting experience and I learned some valuable information. One is, make sure you have...

Quite recently while browsing and reading up on peoples thoughts on Asperger’s, someone posed the question “How do you make sense of the world?” Hm… how do I? Perhaps I don’t make sense of the world. It’s not the most logical place. But all that aside, it made me think about something else...

Money and budgetting related new years resolutions aside, one of my more positive new years resolutions is to try and eat healthier. I don't know that it will necessarily be cheaper, because i prefer either all natural or organic ingredients and even with plain old sandwich bread i buy one of...
I've had four jobs and two rescinded job offers this year. "Energy mismatch to the team" they say, while agreeing that I have the skills they need and extraordinary problem-solving ability. I've been "hired" again, I'm being given work, but no start date and no guarantee I'll be paid for it. I...

You will never guess who called me when I got home from work tonight? My long-lost missing landlord (or his representative!) We had quite the interesting chat about how the billing arrangements are done regarding utilities. The bottom line is that he has verbally promised me that I no longer...

A while back, as many of you may remember, I was out looking at houses to buy but was unable to find anything that I could afford. And by afford, I mean not just the payments but everything else that goes along with owning a house. About a month or so ago, a "friend" suggested that I start...

When I was much younger, I was a pro-life activist. I picketed, I marched, I wrote letters. I believed that I was involved in a good cause, a worthy cause. And then something happened that made me cut all public ties to the pro-life movement. I still consider myself pro-life, but I do not...

I'm 67 & after having several unpleasant communication problems lately which reminded me of the Doc in the Doc Martin series, got me wondering if I have Aspergers. Then I had a Major Crisis that put me in hospital for 7 days, exiting with a 'diagnosis' of ACA- Adult Children of Alcoholics...

There are so many traits I have possessed since I was young that I believed were just me being odd or eccentric. These physical symptoms, that I display on a daily basis, are also closely related to Asperger’s Syndrome. I have always been very clumsy. I run into things often. I am always...

There are several characteristics in my personality that led me to believe I might be ‘on the spectrum’. After I started to suspect this I wanted a quick answer. I took online ‘autism quizzes’ even though I was aware that these tests could not replace a formal diagnosis. I tested within the...

I’m sitting on my couch on a Saturday morning trying to decide how to waste my day. I turn on Amazon Instant Video and decide to watch Parenthood. In the first season there is a character named Max who is diagnosed with Asperger’s Disorder. I see a few similarities in his personality and my own...

The other day I was talking to my mom about the ongoing issues with the trailer park and the possibility that I might have to move. The trouble is there aren't many places around here that I can afford. She said, "Well, what about your Aspergers? Couldn't you get help with that?" I said...

I am hearing repetitively that the diagnostic criterion for autism is unreliable and that the best person to judge whether they have it is the person themself. It has prompted me to ask the question, which came first; the condition or the diagnosis. The diagnosis describes a set of symptoms...

I'm really not that great at writing about myself or serious topics, so, instead I'll write about video games. XD Well, here I go, please enjoy and I hope this doesn't sound too much like an infomercial or something like that. The TG-16 was popular in Japan(as the PC Engine), but because of a...

A few weeks ago I wrote about microexclusions, which are similar to microaggressions. Another word for both would be generally thoughtless, clueless behavior which makes others feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Because I fall into the high end of the low-income scale, I tend to notice the many...
So most people, people with Asperger's Syndrome and people without, tell me that I am very random. I talk about random things and for no particular reason. One second, I'll be talking about birds and the next, it will be something totally irrelevent and different like Pluto. Is it an Aspie...
