    Betty, my life's experiences have told me that many of the stories in the Bible are not literal, they are metaphorical and allegorical. I think...

    I'm glad that you see through all that now and I hope that you will be able to find true friends who really care.

Pattern Finder I remember counting the stripes on the wallpaper on my walls, but not just counting them, I would see the pattern of three thick stripes followed by one thin stripe and then it would be repeated. It would frustrate me if I got to the end of the wall and it ended in way which...
Asperger Traits that I can relate to. Sensory overload This is something that I have experienced on a few occasions, mostly it’s auditory overload. There has been times when I’ve had to ask somebody “is it loud in here”? Which is confusing because you would think that somebody would know if...
Job Interviews Up until this point most of the job interviews that I’ve had have been very informal probably because they have been low skilled positions but job interviews are something I really struggle with. I’m just not comfortable talking about myself, I hate it. When asked to talk about...
Work Life I decided to leave school at the first chance I got. I was 16 years old and my first job was working in an office, doing basic office type things, I won’t bore you with the details. You might be thinking why I would choose such a job if I don’t like being around people and have...
Do I have Asperger Syndrome? I’ve always been a quiet and shy person, one of my earliest memories is of my mother telling people “Don’t mind him he’s shy”. For the longest time I have just assumed that this was a quirk of my personality. Some people are born with brown hair some with blond...

Aspergers & Autism
I see so many people talk about trying to figure out how to have a normal life. For us, people with Autism, it's the stupid small daily stuff that makes life hard. Keeping a job, interacting with other people, picking out clothes for the day, it's all complicated. I don't have any magical...

Bought this week's issue this afternoon and the cover price has gone up from 57 p to 62! Only saving grace is that I checked the price of all the others and TV Choice is still the cheapest out of all of them so it's not that bad value. Until they put it up by another 5 p next year probably.

Did my Martial Arts grading yesterday tea time, I made about 2 mistakes, went in left stance when I should've been in right and vice versa, but other than that I thought I did OK. Anyway I've been to training tonight and guess what? I PASSED! Yay! Go me!
Topic. Applied online via a link on an email I got from an employment website, I kind of know where the place is in s4, somewhere between Page Hall and Attercliffe. The money's not bad for part time work, from about £9 to £14, but to earn 14 quid an hour means realistically I can only work...

Day to Day Life
So I was on a bit of a mission this afternoon in Town, had to collect something from the central Post Office which I ordered on eBay last week, and then collect a battery charger from Argos which I ordered yesterday, and I also wanted to call in CEX and see if I could trade in 3 games towards a...

I was able to wander off today in the State Forrest. The temperature was 16F up on the ridge. It was the perfect temperature for a 5 Mile hike. ;)

And other rants. Seriously, they want to take away the care company who get me up most mornings and help me to run a Bath and get ready and stuff because the company are "too expensive" and are no longer on the Social services' books! Not being funny but they knew the company in question were...
Hi everyone, I'm new to blogging, but I really like writing as a hobby. Anyway, this is my first post and so I'm going to talk about my experience getting diagnosed with autism through my university's medical system. If you're college age or nearly so and you're undiagnosed this might be a...

We spend most weekends at our cabin in the Laurel Highlands. There is always plenty to do. As the temperatures drop I tend to become more active. This is the actual hiking trail.
So I had a bid going on eBay for £32 for Soul Calibur 6 on Xbox, I was winning right up to literally 5 seconds left of the bid, eh? Annoying when people wait till literally the last second to outbid me! In better news, I have a trial day booked volunteering at the new Sue Ryder Charity shop on...
