Last spring I was looking at the bulletin board outside my favorite coffeehouse when I saw that the community theater was going to put on a production of Hair and was looking for people to audition. Since I missed the "Age of Aquarius" by only a few years (by the time I had the means to run off...

I see a very challenging future ahead for those of us with ASD's. For whatever reason, ASD's are on the increase. This is already putting a strain on our school systems as they strive to accommodate us. I grew up in the bad old days when there wasn't a whole lot of accommodation and the...
I've been at UCA (University for the Creative Arts) for a few months now. Really enjoying it so far. I've made two good friends there too. I'm finding it really difficult to socialise properly - but I've virtually thrust myself into the deep end by getting elected as the LGBT Students'...

There is another meme on Facebook in support of a trigger. There are pictures of cartoon figures replacing profile photos left and right. Cartoons from the 80's and toons from the 90's are proving most popular. This move of profile images is intended for "awareness." It's also to "fight child...

How can I deal with this frustration and anger towards things l really can't change. I can change things, but they will take awhile, considering I am trying to look for something a bit more of a set schedule. Plus I hate having to deal with strangers. I had myself all amped up and upset about...

I haven't achieved what I have longed for, but I am hopeful. I am not anything special, but I believe with getting everything in order I will be on the right track. I was hopeful to find companionship/ boyfriend, but honestly if it happens it happens. I am not too worried. I like my bubble and...

This Christmas we decided not to get a tree, and other than hanging the wreath on our door we haven't decorated at all. I really haven't felt like doing much of anything, and today we went and bought the few small gifts for the kids in the family, and quite frankly there wasn't much feeling...

5:20AM I turn the alarm off on the second beep. Slip from the bed, fish around in my dresser drawers for socks and a tee shirt. Quiet, I try not to wake him. I open the door to a dark closet in a dark room. Inside my hands feel the texture of my work shirt and the smooth fabric of my pants...

I remember being wild, before I went to kindergarten at age 5. The world was a magical place, it was enormous, I played in the back yard alone a lot, I ate vegetables right off the bush in our little garden. Each day was an adventure, and I knew I was loved. When others were mean to me, I...
