I often speak in metaphors and understand metaphors but I am an Aspie myself. Many Aspies who I have spoken to do not understand metaphors. Is this on a more individual basis?
I have read from many, many websites that most Aspies are really good at math. Is this true? I find it odd because on the contrary, math is my worst subject. I would appreciate any replies. Thank you.

I'm an Aspie and I emotional break downs anywhere from once a month to once a week. Is this normal? How often do you get them if so? What triggers them for you personally? Am I the only one who gets these? How do you cool down and re-gain composure? How do you break down the 'wall' after...

A big problem I have with so-called "children's stories" like "Ten Thousand Dresses" or "Heather Has Two Mommies", or even a recent one that came out in my state, "My Parents Open Carry" is that they are propaganda masquerading as children's stories. They may have been written at a child's...

Yesterday I wrote about a children's story I heard at church that disturbed me very much. The message of the story seemed to be that people should always be themselves and that they should always be loved and accepted, no matter what. In this case, it was about a boy who despite all evidence...
In my church, it is customary for the children to be read a short story before they are dismissed to their classes. The pictures are shown on an overhead screen so that everyone can see what the story is about. I usually enjoy this part of the service, but not the story chosen last Sunday. It...

I work in the environment industry. There are a number of terms banded around that have certain meanings that may or may not be understood by the General public, this is referred to as "industry jargon". For example, "best practice". In the industry this term is used to refer to the latest...

The other day, at my art association meeting, the subject came up of a member having a private showing in his home. When his address was mentioned, another member said, "That's a beautiful neighborhood." Now, there are a lot of things you can say about my neighborhood but "beautiful" is not...
I just got off the phone with a woman from a state government office in Lansing, and it is not good news. The park is not required to have a manager, either on site or off. The park is not required to have leases. It appears we are on a month-to-month lease. As far as the meter readings are...
Well, I went to see the lawyer yesterday, and it was somewhat of a disappointment. For one thing, he did not seem very interested in wanting to talk to me and seemed anxious to have the interview come to an end. Probably because it was a "free" consultation. He did give me a phone number to...

Well, I heard back from the power company and their response was exactly as I expected. "We are so sorry to hear of your problem . . . but you will have to take it up with your landlord as it is a tenant/landlord issue . . . also, we do not have your address in our database." What part of "the...

I was listening to NPR the other day and since there is an election coming up, of course that was the big subject. Their reporters were interviewing a woman out in Colorado about the issues she was concerned about. She lives in a community that has seen much better days, and like so many of...
I finally got ahold of the Employee Assistance people. Either I had jotted down the wrong number or it was given to me incorrectly. Which was a relief. I was getting seriously worried there with this cruise ship survey business. Anyway they gave me the name of a local lawyer. Guess what...
This business with my electric bill gets stranger and stranger. We have an employee assistance program that supposedly helps employees with all kinds of issues, whether legal or medical or financial. It's supposed to be a help line. I've "used" it--if you can call it that--a couple of times...

It seems that I used a forbidden word the other day and so had my comments section locked, So I will be nice and try not to use it any more. I was going to use the C-word to describe the widespread, semi-legal exploitation of trailer park residents all across the United States and possibly...
