WhyYou are very kind, thank you for your understanding response. I feel much better now than a week ago- AprilR

WhyI’m surprised too when I learn people like me, on the forum or IRL. That’s why it’s important you just keep being you. We have an impaired...

I am starting this post making clearer the last statement on my previous post. I said I wouldn't have kids for I don't want them to be like me. I should have stated I won't have kids if I'm diagnosed to be on the spectrum, since there's a possibility that autism is genetically related. Some say...
I could start a rant... in a thread. I believe I ranted enough today. Not on the board though. I don't have intention to mess up the entire board... but, I ranted today against;
My former therapist.
Last week I went there, and he pretty much, among other therapists, told me "sorry man, I...
Last night the director was discussing a scene from the play we are doing. It is not enough that something is in the script, she said, you have to understand why it is in the script. Why is your character doing what he or she is doing or saying what he or she is saying. Why is he or she...
My first blog post - I don't know if there are gonna be others - is about my first attempt to get a diagnosis on my craziness and oddity. Next Thursday, I have an appointment with a specialist in autism and Asperger Syndrome. I don't have any expectations about this first appointment, but I...
I've been involved in a new play at my community theater, which is why I haven't been as active lately. It's been a tradition that each fall we do a "Halloween"-themed play and this year is no exception. We are doing a ghost story. Now, the theater where we perform has a reputation for being...
I woke up after a 15 minute catnap, which I clearly stated to be my nemesis... I took my e-reader and read on a bit in a book I was reading.
In the book I read the following sentence; "I mean it as a compliment when I say that you could almost define a philosopher as someone who won't take...
So... I haven't been too big on blogging, as I felt it needed some kind of steady commitment. Also, I always figured that only a handful of people are gonna read it. But since I'm on a rather small-ish forum, or within a small community, I might as well do some writing from time to time. Let's...
Last Sunday we were sitting around in "small group" watching a video on the Holy Land and the subject came up about the conquest of the Promised Land as described in Joshua. The video's narrator made much of the fact that the Israelites did not completely exterminate the original inhabitants as...
Yesterday we returned to the Book of Acts, chapter 17. Paul and his companions are running around Greece, getting into trouble with the synagogue officials, and just generally stirring up excitement everywhere they go. Definitely not a guy you want coming to your hometown if you like peace and...
(This is a slightly modified version of something I posted on Spectrumville)
Today is the one-year anniversary (or "aspieversary" if you like) of the day that I got my semi-official "you can take it or leave it" AS diagnosis (I followed a somewhat unusual path to getting my diagnosis that...
This week amid storm and earthquake they unveiled the Dr. Martin Luther King statue in Washington. Although the formal dedication will have to wait, I am wondering if this was the great man's way of looking down on us and sending his approval. Certainly while he was alive, Dr. King sent...
Well, the church ladies sure had an interesting experience with their Vacation Bible Camp. I kind of wish now I had taken time off work to be there. But on the other hand, maybe it's best I didn't.
I think it was about the second or third day they were gathering the children around them and...
Apparently there wasn't enough interest in the Answers In Genesis outing, because nothing more has been said about it. So we are moving on to other, less controversial (in my opinion at least) things. Whew!
Anyway, I really believe the Young Earth Creationists/Intelligent Design crowd is...
Well, the gauntlet has now been thrown down, so to speak. We shall see what shall happen next.
What happened is this: There is an Answers in Genesis seminar coming up next month and people from my church are putting out feelers to see if there is enough interest in going. I received the...
I have a dilemma and I don't really know how to solve it without hurting people. While I genuinely like the people I have met at this church, I feel that the longer I go the more I will feel like I am operating under false pretenses. I wish there were some way out.
I have been going about...
Well, I have given up looking for a house. The situation regarding the trailer park seems to have stabilized somewhat; the bank has it now and has turned it over to a management company. If they come through and start counting heads I think there may be some wailing and gnashing of teeth as...
I think being a successful 'me' in school and being a successful 'me' on the streets are really, vastly different.
If I am really successful on the streets, in my own definition, I'd really be what I want others to remember me: fresh.
This means, at least in the time 2003 (when hyphy...

My articles are always for a niche audience: Singaporeans who care.
It's ok if my previous articles don't garner enough people to read: for those who understand its contexts will feel...
This is just something I do, when I am feeling out of inspiration.
Well, I'd it all planned out, as a matter of fact.
I'll wake up in the morning, post on Facebook: I'd been doing well. Had great time with friends and family. Geordie
Then I'll grab all the money I have. Wear a Tigers...
It is known that American universities are the best in the world. They have a mix of private and publicly-funded institutions - which, with incentives to raise research output, will attract more resources to expand individual universities' comparative advantages in their research areas.
