Another way to render my bullies insignificant in my perspective, is to evaluate their intelligence. Based on their behaviour. Yes, this is a good thing.
Obviously, someone who can only make themselves feel good about themselves by putting someone else down has the intellectual capacity of...
?are bad people, and I'm going to forgive myself for being so unforgiving that I don't give mine the benefit of having been young and stupid (with emphasis on stupid) at the time.
I was no saint, but I don't think I should have had to be. When your whole class gangs up on you and you defend...
Anyone unfamiliar with the word "apartheid" (taken from Wiki)
Apartheid (Afrikaans pronunciation: [ɐˈpɑːrtɦɛit]; from Afrikaans "the state of being apart") was a system of racial segregation enforced through legislation by the National Party (NP) governments, who were the ruling party from 1948...
Every so often the website that I get my local and statewide news from, www.mlive.com, has what they call "live chats". Yesterday's topic was autism. The chat was supposed to go live at noon and last for only an hour. But when I tried to log on, there were so many people already commenting...
The case I wrote about, about the Michigan mother who attempted to murder her autistic daughter, has now gone nationwide, and at least one autism activist has started a petition calling for her to be prosecuted as a hate crime. I am not so sure that this qualifies as a hate crime, as such, but...
I have 3 children. My middle child/Son is 14 almost 15yrs old & was diagnosed with Aspergers & ADHD when he was about 8 yrs old.
The problem I am finding now is that I think my Husband & I are expecting too much from him as far as responding to ALL requests whether it be getting off his...
This week it has been all over the news that a Michigan mother of an autistic teen tried to kill herself and her daughter. Apparently the mother was at her wit's end after being rejected by the school system. Details can be found on Mlive.com. The attempt was not successful, but it looks like...
I always remind myself, 'ten times measure, one time cut (Judge Judy). Every major decision is an important one. In particular, in my case, there is only one direction life goes - forward. Time never goes backward, so we had much experience with time, that we try to learn from.
In particular...
Much like many others on the spectrum, I?ve tried to self-medicate. Not self-medicate for autism as such, since we all know there is no such thing. I did however look into the options if I could fight off depression for the time being.
Depression has been a thing on and off for me due to a...
When I was five years old, a man gave a speech that changed the world. He said he had a dream that one day people would be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. I don't recall hearing that speech until much much later. At that time I lived in a pretty...
Well I said that I would post another blog post about me, I just said that it would be later.
~ I'm 23 years old and a male, in case you were wondering and, no, I don't act my age one bit.
~ Brown hair, brown eyes.
~ I got a brother who is the same age as me. he's in the Air Force while...
Well, it's been a few weeks, and while I never considered making and posting a blog here, I read some and figured, what the hey!
So, my thoughts on this place after spending a few weeks here...
Well...
It's awesome! I've met some new faces and learned a bunch about my Autsim. And while...
This is a follow up to part 1.
Part 1 is found here.
So, what else is there?
3. Future outlooks; Again, this entire relationship is becoming part of it. I have yet to apply for disability workplace assistance. Yet, even if I apply, it will take 5 years to be placed. And there?s clearly...
Over the past year I?ve been feeling slightly depressed. And frantically I?ve been looking at reasons why this is. And I might have found a solid reasoning for it. And slowly it?s becoming a snowball effect and it?s gaining a lot of momentum.
I don?t really want to rant about my relationship...
"There is a boy dancing, who in this light is the most desirable thing he has seen. His thin shoulders white as papyrus, light from the fire reflecting sweat on his stomach, nakedness glimpsed through openings in the blue linen he wears as a lure from neck to ankle, revealing himself as a line...
Dear friends,
It had been a great first month for me in our big family.
I am very happy you invited me to lunch sessions. I like all of you friends! You allow me, a greenhorn, to add on the business know-how and daily updates of the world in general. I am also really excited with the...
I've been taking walks in the evening with a friend and last night we drove over to a neighboring community which has an excellent network of trails. It was my first time over there.
We started out at the community park and followed the trail around the edge until it entered a wooded area...
Pop-Tarts, Peanut Butter and finally relaxed... It's 9PM and it's going down in my room. Can only leave here at SET TIMES. Think about it this way - when I'm in my room, in my headphones, I'm in full control. Can change the music and auditory settings any time, and just listen to my thoughts...
Hi, fellow citizens of Asperia. Living with others can be a real pain for us. As some of you know, I have a bi-generational home wherein my elderly parents live downstairs. My mother is a hyper-blabbering NT who is in profound denial of the fact that I'm an Aspie. She believes that if she just...
Back when I first told my dad I had been diagnosed with Asperger's he tried to explain it away that I didn't have a condition, it was just because of the divorce. When I explained further about AS and the traits etc he again tried to make out that we "all have issues and problems" but i tried to...
