My life has been pretty normal I went to a public school near my home town where I was quite literally "born and raised". However I've always been a weird kid and I never really knew why. Now I think I have found the answer but I'd like to post it on here to get a little closure i guess, also...
The last time I wrote it was about the length of time it might
take to make a finished item and post it.
There is the time it takes to develop it.
And there is the time it takes to enter the material and post it.
Sometimes there are problems with the site snatching all the data away
once a...
So I realised, today, why I was feeling "flat" yesterday.
It's been pretty tough lately, a tough phase in a pretty tough life.
In the last three years I've suffered three miscarriages, cut ties with my selfish, irresponsible and personality disordered mother, lost one colleague and one close...
i saw someone do this so i thought “why not?”
dear Asperger’s Syndrome;
you confuse me a lot still to this day. how we met is unusual since neither of my parents carry you. but to me, you’ve worked against and for me. you make me think and feel deeper, which i’m grateful for at times and...
While I want this to be a positive letter it can’t be at least completely.
Dear Autism,
Firstly I wanted to say thank you, I want to say thank you for the way in which I see the world if it weren’t for you being a part of me I wouldn’t take photos in the way that I do and take photos of the...
So, this is a really loaded topic for me, as I spent a LOT of years being narcissistically abused and exploited, and because of my Autism and the abusive and neglectful childhood I'd had, it took me to point where I was seriously contemplating my own demise, if I didn't get out of that abuse...
Do you think your child should know at a very young age if they have ASD? Should they need to seek their truth on their own? Will the world change in time to create a safer place for the teased, bullied, and take advantage of students and adults in the future (hopefully near)? I'm seeking all...
(From my official blog, Autistic Spirits)
A lot of neurotypicals("normal people") think having autism means you don't have feelings. This is one of the most common stereotypes about autistic people and it's far from the truth. Someone on the spectrum does feel, but he/she expresses it in a...
I've not even gotten a referral yet and I trust my GP to find someone good, but I have had my hopes dented a little in chatting on Facebook with a women in my community who says she has been trying for 9 years to get an autism diagnosis and not succeeded. She says someone in the local hospital...
I eat the same dinner almost every evening.
It is yoghurt with rolled oats and a banana.
It looks somewhat like this:
However, the yoghurt/oats ratio is different in my version. It's more yoghurt and less oats. And I cut one banana and put all the pieces in my bowl instead of just some of them...
I usually eat the lunch provided at work on weekdays.
This is convenient and good for several reasons.
Firstly, it helps me to keep a more varied diet than the one I would have if I prepared my own lunch every day.
Secondly, I don't have to waste even more energy after work by cooking something...
And... I had another meltdown yesterday. Sigh.
I'm obviously still recovering from the trauma. At first, I couldn't understand why I was falling apart when everything was okay. For some reason, my brain wants to keep screaming everything is NOT okay and that I need to run away. It keeps picking...
Maybe it isn't exactly the first step, but I went to my GP and asked for a referral to a psychiatrist and he said he was very glad I'd come in to ask. He had suggested it to me six months ago only I wasn't ready. I'm scared, of course. I'm so sure I am on the spectrum and afraid that I will...
I just need to write. I've felt pretty up and down this week. Extreme extremes, as well as moments of extreme wellbeing, moments of extreme ailienation and frustration, moments of extreme anxiety and terrible grief, and increased connectedness and comfort.
Oh well, I guess it's good in that, my...
The above topic in my title has been literally driving me bonkers lately. I cannot stand being able to see the duality of the universe, and I equally can't stand seeing how the concrete thinking of humans tends to be their greatest downfall.
It is also in our nature to demand answers, and it...
I have some very persistent finger stims, which do not seem to favour any particular emotion unless we assume that I am in a permanent state of either joy or anxiety. The latter is most likely, and I am medicated for anxiety which helps minimise the more obvious stims, not to mention the...
