Yesterday, I finished a 2013 sci-fi movie entitled Her. It's about a guy who ends up in a relationship with his operating system. This was one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen. There was no graphic nudity or sex scenes, but there were scenes dealing with sex and even romance that I could...

Not long ago I foolishly went into a car dealership which was having a promotion even though I had absolutely no intention of trading in my still-serviceable and paid-up car. Several hours later, they had my car and I had theirs with payments. I am still not sure who got the better of the...

I hate emotional people. No, I'm not going to specify precisely what I mean by "emotional people." I can't see how they are as anything but a character flaw. How could it be good or even just neutral to judge so much by how it makes one feel? I hate being bathed in the sappy light of their...
One of the questions I get asked a lot when people find I don't have a TV is do I feel I am missing out a lot? Actually, no. There is quite a bit that I am aware of, even without a TV. And one of them is the continuing saga of the Duggar family now in its second generation. Now, I have not...

Yesterday I wrote about a short movie that was produced by some members of my theater group and the reaction of one of the parents to it. While I agree that it probably was not the most appropriate thing to show to an audience that included young children--and the person showing it was well...
Music Man is finally over. The kid that I thought would end up getting asked to leave actually turned out to be a halfway decent actor. Yes, he had some moments and some meltdowns--it was a pretty demanding rehearsal schedule after all--but overall it was a pretty positive experience working...

My main stressor in life has always been having to live with other people. I'm far from being some kind of hateful weirdo (although 'weirdo' is subjective), but some of us are just not meant to live with other people, which can mean absolute hell if you're not exactly well off financially and...

I went to an Aspie meetup the other day in my town and they told me it's not worth it getting diagnosed! I feel like an Aspie but still struggling to understand whether I fit the criteria. Obviously, there are some criteria that I don't fit. Does it mean that I don't belong here? Probably not. I...

So I've had selective mutism for several years now. For any of you who don't know what that is, it's where you only talk to certain people; in my case, those people were my mum and a few close friends I've made in recent years. I used to talk, until bad things started happening in school that I...

I am a self-diagnosed aspie, and was raised with no knowledge of the possibility that i have it until probably a little over a year ago. My parents, although great parents...i've always felt like they instantaneously love me a lot less, if not hate me altogether, the moment anything is wrong...

I'm fairly certain that one of the new employees at my workplace has AS, so I've been thinking about it in relation to myself lately. Today, I've mostly been thinking about how sensitive i am to sound. For as long as i can remember everyone around me has always commented on how low i keep the...

Why the Myers-Briggs test is totally meaningless Actual data tells psychologists that these traits do not have a bimodal distribution. Tracking a group of people's interactions with others, for instance, shows that as Jung noted, there aren't really pure extroverts and introverts, but mostly...

Apparently, this site (aspergerstestsite.com), says that there won't be any diagnosis called AS anymore. That was back in May of last year. So, I'm confused. What will it be called then, or what is it called now? :confused: For the whole story, you can go to that site I mentioned above.

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...
