    I’m surprised too when I learn people like me, on the forum or IRL. That’s why it’s important you just keep being you. We have an impaired...

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...

So I find that when I get to know people i become attached to them and it is hard for me to have to get to know someone all over again mostly counselor, or case worker or something like that. I guess it goes back to stability or consistency. If that makes sense. I also seem to be good as...
It was announced on the news today that the body of Dr. Teleka Patrick was found in an Indiana lake not far from where her car went off the highway. She had been missing since December 5. During that time her private life and tweets were put on public display, raising questions about Internet...

Hey everybody :) It's been some time since my first post, and I have learned much since. I seem to have acquired so much information about AS, that I feel I should soon be graduating from Aspie school, haha, though there's always so much more to learn. Using my newly acquired knowledge, I have...
Well, the conflict resolution came and went and it was not nearly as painful as I feared; though it seems the story has changed yet again, that the matter was not taken out to the church at large by a certain person (who did not attend), but only to the pastor. This surprised me as the group...

I had no idea there was a blog page. I've been on this website for nearly 3 months and I had no idea there was this thing. I suppose I might as well do something with it, then. This blog will most likely not be updated regularly, since my internet access is limited (I can only be on it while...
Well, after much, much, much pleading by the Sunday evening Bible group leader, I have consented (although unwillingly) to appear before the group for a conflict resolution meeting. I am not optimistic about the results and I have already moved on in my mind. What started the furor were two...
Most of you have probably researched quite a bit into the Autism Spectrum Disorders as I did. I plan to make this entry describing more about the conditions stated in the title to share a deeper understanding for those who dislike reading from a variety of sources. Some facts may be more common...

After losing our home in NH I had to send my wife to stay with her parents while I found a place to live. I could not stay with my mom since she was on section 8 and my only hope was if I could stay with Ray. I had taken him in to live with us in the past and were as close as true brothers so he...

I am still scratching my head over my recent midterms experience. One of them was a take-home test, handed out well in advance of spring break, to be turned in the following Monday. It was only 32 multiple choice questions. I managed to complete mine in 15 minutes, so I didn't think it was...

I see where Westboro Baptist Church has been in the news lately; it seems that its founder recently passed away and so they are facing a where do we go from here moment. I have to confess I only know of the WBC by reputation (and it isn't good!) so I don't know if this is a one-family church or...
Well, it looks like I will be parting ways with my friends from my old church. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, I just didn't know when or how. I knew I'd been living on borrowed time with them ever since I left to join the Unitarian-Universalists, so this new development comes...
Yesterday I wrote about the Illinois Republican (my bad, should have checked google) who has been going around saying that God is using autism and tornadoes to punish the US for supporting gay rights. It's actually far worse than that as one of my respondents pointed out. Macular degeneration...
I wish more people would look past Harley Quinn's persona to realize how good of a character she actually is. You know, she was just created to pop out of the cake in the episode Joker's Favor of Batman:TAS but she ended up developing enough to get her own backstory and remain as a permanent...

I wasn't sure if posting this anywhere in the forums was appropriate so I'm just going to make a blog post "Non-Binary Genders are gender identities that don't fit within the accepted binary of male and female. People can feel they are both, neither, or some mixture thereof. It might be easier...

Have you heard the latest about what causes autism? Apparently there is a high-ranking woman Republican down in Texas (I can't remember her name) who is going around saying that autism and tornadoes are God's punishment on the United States for embracing gay rights. Honestly. I am beginning...

It seems that no matter how hard I try, I always end up hurting people, or at the very least, creeping them out and turning them away. Usually this happens when I attempt to joke around with them. I don't see the signals that tell me to stop, and they end up exploding on me. I try to...
The other day in class I was blown away by something one of my classmates said to me. Before I say what it was that she said, I will describe her. She is a Muslim and wears a headscarf. Ah, yes, one of those oppressed women who are forever destined by her religion to live a second-class life...

Once again, religiously-sanctioned discrimination raises its ugly head, this time in Arizona where legislation is actually being considered to allow business owners to refuse to serve gay people. At this writing it's not sure if it will go through, but if it does, I have some questions for the...
