One question that turned out to work in the desired way: "Where is that book about reading people that I saw here not two weeks ago?" Before long, I had sorted through the piles of books on my bedroom floor and put them in the bookcase. I can eat new food if I ask myself what it will taste...
To mark Autism Awareness Day a private group paid to have the Mackinac Bridge lit up blue at night. Meanwhile the Lieutenant Governor announced several new autism programs to start taking effect. It wasn't long before the first comment came in--and it was negative. "Who is going to pay...

Sometimes, I think that my problem with getting motivated is my focus on getting motivated. I will concentrate on generating motivation to do something, rather than actually doing that thing. I know it seems obviously counter-productive and I should stop doing that and start doing something that...

Recently Michigan Governor Snyder appointed an Emergency Manager for Detroit. Now, one would think that people would be pleased because he appointed an African-American to be Emergency Manager instead of a white person but no. There are big protests scheduled by none other than the Reverends...

Well, I see that one of our Michigan Republicans is at it again. He posted a very offensive post about gays based on outdated research on his Facebook page and now everyone is howling for his blood. Could it be that this guy is a secret Democrat out to undermine the party? Nope, the Reps...
Earlier this week people mentioned autism and selective mutism. It got me thinking about my own behavior and if I suffer from selective mutism. Because; I think it?s interesting to see where your personal position and functioning holds up to? well, peers. But actually, it was just something to...

Last Sunday they had a racism workshop at my new church, called "Constructing a New White Identity in the 21st Century". It lasted only two hours but could have gone on much longer. It is part of a series of discussions that they are having on racism and I hope to attend others. This...
I've been following the adventures of the Mars rover Curiosity and I got to thinking, what if Curiosity were to find evidence that microbes exist or once existed on Mars? How would that affect so-called "Creation Science"? Now, for those who are not familiar with "Creationism" or "Creation...
So,I apologize for the short,jumbled way my blog is written so far. I promise you all i'm a much better writer than this when relaxed. I somewhat recently started having severe anxiety issues, and I think it screwed up my writing ability. When I look at what I write, I feel like I should just...

I got to thinking about what it would have been like to be the first guy to have Asperger's, I mean, Hans had to start somewhere and somebody had to be the first, didn?t they? So the thing you have to know when you go into this story is that it isn?t entirely accurate concerning the era in...
A situation came to mind regarding the entire notion if autism is an excuse. And if it?s not, then how would one define this behavior. A while ago on a forum about miniature wargaming and painting someone started a thread where someone asked him (I blindly assume it?s a he, but it could just...

We just got a new printer at work or so they say (looks a lot like the old one, if you ask me) and when I went to pick up my prints there was a sign on it that this printer was "in training" for voice recognition commands. Meaning you might have to repeat your commands slowly and clearly so it...

Recently I watched "The Sessions" where Helen Hunt plays a sex therapist who helps a paralyzed man learn how to enjoy sex. I thought it was pretty tastefully done and definitely not as graphic as a lot of other movies I can name. The movie left me wanting to know a lot more about this man's...

So the Catholic Church has a new Pope, Francis I. All I can say to those hoping that he will change the Catholic church to their liking, is don't hold your breath. Yes, much is made of his humility but there are also rumblings coming from his native Argentina that he sat back and did nothing...
My daughter's birthday is coming up in a few months and that means it's party planning time. It's weird because I actually hate parties and on the day I will be so stressed and overwhelmed by the end of it but planning it is an obsession I have. This year we were not supposed to have a party...

One difference I've noticed in how neurotypicals write about Asperger's compared to how Aspies write about it--I've not yet come across an Aspie describing themself as not having a "theory of mind". I have a different take on it than what the psychologists say. I don't think humans come...

Hi everyone. This is my first day on this website. I'm excided to join you guys, and learn more about Aspergers. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome about 5 years ago. I am now 15, and enjoy music, reading, and baking. :)
i've always wanted to do it,and I really feel like I could. I wonder...should i take the risk,or no...I think I will. :D for some reason,at my town's democratic committee meeting,i was more confident and talkative than ever before,and got a burst of confidence!

Here?s an interesting question about an issue I ran into recently. ?How much should you invest to get yourself straightened out?? By straightening out I clearly mean; seek therapy, seek counseling, get educated, etc. Perhaps it?s a totally different matter in other parts of the world...
