When one of my half-sisters was small, she would communicate ignorance by saying "I just can't know" instead of "I just don't know." That memory just popped into my head as I opened this blank blog entry to post about something that just occurred to me: I just can't care about other people's...
My 20 year old, multiple-disabled son will be taking the first large step in helping to put together an Autistic community within an already existing community. He has the down payment [from pooper-scooping, dogwalking, collecting cans from fields,etc.] from saving since he was nine years old[...
One of the many intentions for AutHaven was to provide more comfortable "Autistic space" than is generally found in the NT world.
We decided that we needed a place that was fairly quiet, had no nasty fluorescent lights, and was situated in the midst of great natural beauty.We also needed...
Such a diverse group of people attended AutHaven, from those struggling to survive on SSI to those who were in their early forties but could afford to comfortably retire now if they chose to. From a nudist, to a male gay kabuki nun. From a chef to a young woman studying to be a neurologist...
...if you spend one minute deciding how much sugar to put in your coffee and spill most of it while the spoon travels from your cup to the sugar bowl and back a million times.
...if you buy your cat a brand new food bowl and break it into pieces as soon as you bring it home, because your arm...
The first annual AutHaven took place this past February at a nudist resort in the mountains of Colorado. I had actually been hoping to attend Autreat in PA, but the fees an the transportation costs made it costs prohibitive. I ha spoken to others who have always dreamed of attending who were...
Some mothers have an ocean full of love for their children. Others have a thimble full. Though my mother had more than an ocean full of love for my younger sister, and I [thought] had a thimble full for me, as a child,I was alright with that. My rationale, at the time, was that my sister was...
Many Autistics are "people who need people, in particular, other Autistic people " Others prefer isolation, including from others who are Autistic. This is for those who believe that Autistics CAN work together, NEED to work together, to have the most awesome life possible, not for those who...
It wasn't as though I hadn't heard of Autism back then.It's just...well..the criteria for diagnosis was different in the late fifties and early 60's. .My mom worked as a part -time registered nurse a few nights a week during a time when most women worked at home as "housewives." Though she was...
I feel insane most days, like I am looking through a window at the world. The only thing off is the room I am in has no doors, only a small grimy window to look through. I see the same faces, sometimes new faces, just looking at me, but I can't say anything. I still move, and speak but it's not...
Bye-bye peace, you didn't last long. Hello agony, hello falling out of sync with people.
Frequently I feel like I don't understand people and their motives at all. Like I was born yesterday.
When I think friend, I think "I have their back, they have mine". When I think "casual fun and not...
Well, I have no one to talk to about this so I guess I'll just post it here. It's moments like these when I understand the value of having people with shared interests in one's life. JK aren't well known and I'd probably get crickets if I started a thread on the subject, so I won't clutter the...
Such is the game of life to figure out. I never liked how in the society of our world, we tend not to be open enough in a 1-1 context when we should be. Everyone shops around for acquaintances and true friends alike. It's generally not socially acceptable to just tell a person you only want a...
Hi All, this was posted on the ABC Open and I thought I would share it with you. A Difficult Time
I agree with the words of Temple Gradin, a fellow Asperger’s sufferer, when she writes in her book. "The way I see it, one can learn social skills." This is true, as I have managed to learn many...
Hey All,
I've been reading a lot about about the relationship between digestive problems and sensitivity and autism. More specifically how eating foods with gluton, sugar, and msg can cause all sorts of problems for those who have sensitive digestive systems. Dairy products often cause problems...
An ominous calm. Woke up with no feelings whatsoever, just thoughts. While my emotions are recovering from the previous meltdown, I am enjoying the quietness and evenness of being. For how long? Little stirs, here and there, but no big deal. Reluctant to get out of the house for a few days now...
Why is it that I have so many instances of miscommunication online? Is it just me, or is it common? I've become rather demoralized over it. I've begun to think that online spaces are too impersonal. Maybe they are only too impersonal for certain types of communication, but I'm afraid that type...
One day the taxi driver Fred Belly drove his taxi along Bucket Road, Gants Hill to pick up Ben Suitcase, a member of Fruitbowl Day Centre, and take him home.
As the taxi left the driver went weird and drove it on the pavement and stopped at a tree to pick up a bird on top to take him to Slop...
One day I was having my fish and chips when, “all of a sudden the chips jumped off the plate and flew up to my face inflicting a number of bites. In fact so fierce were the bites that snakes popped out of my face, turning me into a monster.
The appearance of a monster with snakes popping out...
Spilled water all over the kitchen, dropped an ice tray - ice cubes went flying everywhere, spilled soup on myself, tripped over the cat, smashed my head against the freezer door. Ouch. A normal Aspie day.
