The other night I went to my first drum circle. I'd never been to one before and didn't know what to expect. We met at the fire pit back behind my new church. There were about eight of us. I was the only woman at first. Later another woman joined us. As soon as it started to get dusk...

I mean to blog as often as possible to try and document my thoughts so maybe I can get to the bottom of some of the troubles in life. That and it'll stop people looking at me funny when they catch me talking to myself! Buut I've been busy as all hell lately what with uni, housework and generally...
Hey people, Erm, this is a bit of a weird one. Yesterday my best friend admitted that he has been diagnosed as a psychopath, not only this but he has also been dealing with this since a suicide attempt 4 years ago. He has also been told he has narcissistic personality disorder and...

I'm trying to figure things out. I don't have many close friends. Aspergers/Autism and has always created problems for me when it comes to maintaining and building friendships. I do have a few friends, but all are living long distances away. My 2nd wife and I have been arguing all the time for...

I've been reading about those women who were kept prisoner for 10 years in Cleveland. What a disturbing and scary story! To think that something like this could be going on next door and in all that time nobody questioned, nobody followed up on their gut feelings? I've never been through...

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...

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...

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...
