Explaining why I say I feel "ashamed" about my conditionThank you for understanding. I have had a few people here tell me that it's inappropriate to say that I'm ashamed of having autism on an autism...

Explaining why I say I feel "ashamed" about my conditionIt's very understandable for someone who went through trauma and neglect to feel shameful of autism. Besides shame is an emotion and emotions are...- AprilR

The other day I was having a conversation with one of the members of my church on how people see their lives when things are not going well. The example he gave was how a person might feel cursed by God if they had a disease. But of course we know that isn't true, he said.
I said, "I have...
Well, it finally happened. I have been removed from the position I was cross-training in, as apparently there have been more mistakes found. The hell of it is they don't know for sure who made those mistakes or when but apparently there have been a lot cropping up since I started training in...
So today Pastor read a little bit from the Gospel of Matthew, about two blind men being healed and then a man who was both mute and demon-possessed (or oppressed, don't ask me the difference). And this is the part I really, really cannot accept.
He, of course, accepts that the spiritual...
Last Sunday Pastor announced that we would be taking a break from Acts and delving into the Book of Matthew instead. Now, maybe it's because I grew up in a liturgical church, but I have always liked how the Gospels fit into the liturgical year (although it seems to me that Ascension and...
Recently I had an interesting conversation with a man I met at church. I was wearing some beaded jewelry made by the Maasai people of Kenya that I had bought at a Lions Club fundraiser for a medical clinic in Kenya. He wanted to know about the American market for African handicrafts, as he was...
A few weeks ago my community had an election to decide if a new millage should be passed to raise money to build a new school. The current school is badly overcrowded and is getting harder to maintain each year because of its age. This is the second time school officials have gone before the...
Ok, this is sort of a rant. I'm feeling frustrated and trapped because what is going on with my living situation.
Basically, to make a long story short, I live in a trailer park that has been foreclosed upon and is up for sale. No one is giving us any information on what is going to happen...
In my last blog I wrote about the situation two of my friends found themselves in and the desperate choice they made only to be criticized by someone who was in a position to help them but remained silent until afterwards. Now I want to write about how granting information helped change...
There is a couple in my church whom I will call Bill and Sandra, though obviously those are not their real names. Bill and Sandra are in their late 70's. Sandra is battling cancer, and the long-term prognosis is not good. Yet she tries not to let it get her down or affect her faith.
Bill...
Yesterday I wrote a little bit about a young man I met over Thanksgiving who had ADHD. I'm going to call him "Jonathan" although that is not his real name.
I run into people like him quite frequently and it really breaks my heart because on one hand, he is a very nice person with a lot of...
I really really need more stuffed animals to carry with me. They decrease my panic attacks.
This started when I was a child.
As of now I have a Hello Kitty but all of my old stuffed animals are back in Louisiana from before I ran away. I want a Gloomy Bear and more Kitty's, bunnies...
Yesterday I was invited over to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner, and afterwards we went into the living room to watch TV. Now, I don't own a TV for personal reasons (none of them having to do with religion!), so it is very interesting from an outsider's standpoint to just sit back and...
Every now and then at church or Bible group, someone (usually Pastor) will mention that in the "original" Hebrew or Greek, a word or a passage will actually mean something slightly different from the translation we have been using (English Standard Version). Now, I find it interesting from a...
Right after lunch I got an e-mail today from the supervisor of a department that I have been cross-training in. He said he wanted to see me. I thought, uh-oh, this is not good. And I was right.
Apparently I have been continuing to make the same mistakes that he talked to me about a while...
Migration, the term that describes a species which for its continued survival, it must leave a place for better pastures and to exploit better food sources, the term now drives with many Singaporeans especially these recent years, to leave the country for new worlds.
This trend is also...
It is said that autistic people are poltroons. They are wretched cowards who stand in the way of success. They stand in the way for the accomplishments of their organization's, their family's and for some cases, even their very own successes.
I do not know how the negative attitudes in...
When we last left our friend Paul the Apostle, he had just been rescued from a bloodthirsty mob by the Romans, and now he is on the steps of the Antonia Fortress, bruised and bleeding, propped up between a couple of soldiers, and he is about to address the crowd that tried to kill him. And what...
I feel that everyone knows autism. Just type on your smartphone and you'll get a definition of autism. But people use this awareness of autism for their purposes, for better or for worse. I also feel that there are some things some people cannot adapt - this is also why I know many others don't...
Recently Disney's "Cars 2" was released onto DVD. In the first "Cars" movie, world-champion race car Lightning McQueen finds himself stranded in a small town off the beaten track. At first McQueen thinks he is too good for the cars that live there but by the end of the movie he has come to...
Lately the Occupy Movement has been getting a lot of press. While I certainly am in sympathy with the Occupiers' grievances, as I wrote in another blog, the issues they are protesting are not as clearcut as they would like to believe. In fact, I am concerned that the protesters may be hurting...
