This morning while driving to work I heard a snippet of an interview on NPR with a middle-aged African-American man whose education had been cut short when he was a teenager due to poverty. He talked of a life spent in hard manual labor. Now, his goal was to learn to read well enough to get...
As if to mock me, the other day I got an advertisement in the mail for Marlo Thomas' new book, "It Ain't Over, Reinventing Your Life and Realizing Your Dreams Anytime at Any Age." This book promises to show you how you can follow your dreams through the example of "50 amazing women who are...
I have been in a depressed mood ever since I saw the career counselor and took the aptitude test. Let's just say that like many Aspies, my interests and likes are directly inversely proportional to their marketability. In other words, if it's a high-paying, high-demand career, I am not likely...
Yeah i titled this after a song, haha. It fits, so i made it the title. I just wanted to write a post here after the horrible mental breakdown that was last night. Apparently a good seven to nine hours of sleep does wonders for me cause i woke up in an amazing mood today. I woke up with a...
Well, I am officially graduated. For some reason people seem to think that walking across a stage and picking up a cardboard roll means that your whole life is going to change in all these wonderful and fantastic ways. "And what are you going to do now?" I get asked. The same thing I have...
I saw on an "Autism Parents" type website one time a line from an NT parent of a child with a more severe rendition of Autism that was something along the lines of "Asperger's/HFA isn't really Autism. People who supposedly have Asperger's don't know what it's like to really have Austism."...
The worst mistake I ever made was trusting people. I blindly trusted my one friend and several acquaintences that their opinion was right, i did need a break from school, and blindly trusting my parents to agree (who have nothing resembling a good track record in that department). I've been...
This Sunday at church they had a professor of economics talk about inequalities. The church I am in is big into social justice and stuff like that.
Anyway this professor went on and on about the fabled "one percent" that holds most of the wealth in the United States. You know, people like...
Monday, my father turned 90. Since my parent live with us, guests were here on Fri, Sun & Mon. Monday evening, he was his regular self; extremely hard of hearing & old. Tuesday morning, after my husband left, I went downstairs to bring him the paper. His door was closed, but there were no weird...
First i'll start of by introducing myself and explaining some of my history, then I'll get into what i actually want to talk about. This will probably be a long entry. I'm Kari and I'm a 22 year old college student. I've struggled with depression, anxiety, and self harm since i was in middle...
I just want to be f**king loved!
My online Miss now wants to release me because she can't be there for me enough, but how she can say that when she knows I have f**king no one. Even just being there a little bit is better than nothing.
I wish I had the guts to just end it because this...
Hello to all the nice Aspie mob out there. First, I wish to give you a little piece of my personal history.
I was born in the London, England a long time ago. I married early and by the time I was Twenty-one I had Three children.
With my husband and three children we emigrated to Australia...
A while back I wrote about the movie "God is Not Dead". I still haven't seen it nor do I plan to, for the reasons I wrote about before.
It seems that the reason this movie is popular among Christians, even those who do not identify with the evangelical movement, and who would never consider...
I originally planned to start this blog with my Aspie discovery story, but after much typing and retyping, I realized that I have no idea how to write it out. I don't feel like I can simplify it - it being my entire life - into something short and concise enough to be remotely readable. I'm sure...
with no energy to go through it all again.
I just wish I could fall asleep and not wake up

Wow. Finally, at the ripe old age of 60, I have discovered that what's been "wrong" with me all my life is most likely AS. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but such a discovery, say, 30 years ago, might have been a little nicer. Various factions of my family have...
So what is the thing that that those claiming that blood moons are part of Biblical prophecy leaving out? I'll give you a clue.
In Acts Chapter 2, starting in verse 5, it says that there were people in Jerusalem from "every country in the world." (Good News Translation) or "out of every...
The latest buzz in the Evangelical world is all about the four blood moons that are supposed to take place this year and next. Blood moons, from what I understand, are a rare astronomical phenomenon that are connected to the amount of dust in the atmosphere and the angle of light hitting the...
Remember the controversy that erupted over the sign language "interpreter" at Nelson Mandela's funeral? Apparently the hand gestures and arm motions he was making did not belong to a recognized sign language, and that's what caused the furor. The Deaf community was displeased to say the very...
