If there were no bad in the world, then what virtue would there be in doing something good? What consequence would there be for making a poor decision? How do you know that germs are a bad thing? If you were a germ and God did not create a host for you to infect, wouldn't you think he was a bad...
This is what I want. I want to be friends first before I start making out sexually with someone. I want to get to know them first. I want to be with someone and feel safe. I want to take the time to let love and desire grow. And I don't want to have sex until I am ready. Is that too much...
I haven't posted for awhile because I was busy with a play and also I needed to rest my hands. I am having trouble learning to accept the fact that I can't go full-bore 8 hours at work and then come home and fool around on the computer. So every now and then I have to take a "sabbatical" from...
my situation is this, i currently live with my parents, my sister, her partner and their two children in a 3 bedroom house (turned into a four bedroom with me sleeping downstairs) given i hate loud noises the fact that the living room is right next door should give you an idea of the noise level...
Hey there,
Well, I just started an update but because my new work computer (because we have moved locations) is so ****ing crap, I lost my post. I am still waiting for one of the most important tools on my computer to actually start working so I can call a ****ing pain in the neck back to...
So, my first evaluation (both the one for MIs and for autism and ADHD) was made in an unprofessional way, so now I have to redo it. It's good that Inow is in a special "department" where they know about autism and ofc it's good to know what I have and don't have and how my "autism profile"...
Shelving empathy for the time being, let me talk about languages.
I want to learn all of them. ALL of them. I want to be able to read and write and listen to them, in that order. Speaking may or may not be a by-product of understanding.
Focusing primarily on vocabulary, since it is...
Hi my name is Coll and I have been in love and with someone who has Aspergers for 7 years. I have PTSD/Depression/Anxiety so you can imagine how difficult it can be for us to relate to one another. I am also an alcoholic in recovery...I think my partner is also an alcoholic not in recovery...I...
No, I'm not done dissecting this.
I was just reading a few more chapters of Aspergirls, and more or less realised there were two ways to handle the social parts ? that I hadn't seriously considered yet, anyway. I have already tried behaving NT-ish, doing what is expected of me and just being...
"People rarely say what they mean, but they do."
And I envy people who can read non-verbal, those who have body language literacy ? those who pay attention to it, I mean, not those who merely take a lucky guess based on their gut-feeling. I wish I could do what they do. And, I think, there...
While writing this, the publication of the DSM 5 is drawing near. And as a regular on this forum I?ve seen a lot of people being unclear about their condition. Some need a diagnosis and are being told by therapists that Asperger?s Syndrome will disappear and as such don?t need a diagnosis since...
The other night I watched a "comedy" called "Juno", about a pregnant teenager who seeks a couple to adopt her child. At least it was billed as a comedy. But I had a hard time finding things to laugh at in it. Instead, I watched, appalled.
I'm not around teenagers a whole lot so I don't...
How does one feel what another person feels? I feel like I do, but it doesn't make any sense. It's not my nervous system, it is someone else's, and I don't see how their nerves can send signals to my brain.
The answer is quite obviously that they can't; that's me sending signals to my brain...
Some regulars might have picked up on me being stressed out about an assessment I had going on with a psychologist from social services.
I had said appointment today and it was mildly amusing? and then some. Here?s some interesting highlights.
I got there sat down and he was all like ?so...
Earlier this week marked World Autism Awareness Day. The Netherlands took it a step further and marked it ?autismweek?. There were all kinds of events going on related to the spectrum all throughout the country. The company a social worker I keep in touch with works for had such an event running...
One of the advantages of not owning a TV is that I am spared the constant bombardment of advertising designed to make me discontented with the way I am living. Not entirely spared, of course, there's always radio and internet and print. But when one is not always bombarded one does have time...
