How to Choose your Username: a Guide *copied from WP. My work. *double copied to my blog. So coming up with creative names to represent me always posed a significant problem for me. This was an issue I had before I had accepted my previous diagnosis that I had Asperger`s. DSM IV had barely...

This is a P R O T O T Y P E! I am a concept person. I do not remember or understand through the details. If I were speaking from that understanding I would be using the Sensing personality. Let me explain how you will not be able to prove me wrong! This(Idea) is a concept I (Ragnahawk) threw...

Basic Training I am in the army. Mistake. It all started with a certain push from my father, which was suggestive to help me be successful in life. He was prior military. I was inducted into basic training. Immediately after a week or two I was identified as "that dude". That odd guy. I had...

Still......very confused and bewildered by this. I have the world's greatest husband, so supportive. We have no kids. When I get home from work, I feel I need to just be entirely alone. Greeting him lovingly, being a good companion for him - these things mean I can't recharge after my work...

So far, amazingly, I think I have made a good impression on most people at work. What has helped is very unexpected: there is a manager there whom everyone already hates. Yes, he is over me - but, it is an advantage, now the NTs already have someone pegged as they person they dislike, as the...

I'm continuing to try to figure out how to best handle this, to see what I can manage. Now I understand why so many Aspies apparently can't handle anything else once they come home from full time work - meaning some need to just be entirely alone to do their own thing, not have to interact with...

Okay, so that title is misleading. This is just something that has bothered me - I seem to attract users. Mothers who are users. Meaning, they pay a lot of attention to me and act really friendly when they want something from me, but when they don't want something from me, they ignore me...

My new job is full-time. I have read that many Aspies find they cannot work full-time. Though my job is ideal considering potential "burnout/get-fired danger zone areas" that I have/might face at other jobs, it is still full-time. The trouble with full-time is simply the length of it. That...

I recently experienced something that reminded me of reactions from NTs that catch me off guard. 1) The person with whom I really seem to hit it off, they are talking and talking, we are friendly, we leave friendly, it seems nice - and then the next time I see them, they do not act friendly at...

Yesterday me and my mom printed out an application (10 pages long) for Vocational Rehabilitation. Vocational Rehabilitation is a place where they find jobs that are suitable for people with disabilities. Since I have ASD, I would love to have a job that is easier, understandable, not hard and...

I have spoken a lot to my husband on the journey of learning about ASD.....but I don't get a lot of response. He is very patient and understanding, though. But now, when I express frustrations as an Aspie.....he just looks like it is adding strain on him. And he doesn't have much response -...

So.....my poor executive functioning and being overwhelmed with the new job have caught up with me. I had some unexpected things come up - medical appointments and car problems - and trying to juggle the new things into my schedule, I wound up late to work. I am new...so nobody had my number...

I had been seeing a doctor who was very nice, and the one with the highest reviews and most experience with my particular health condition. However, I am directionally challenged, and my GPS would go nuts trying to get me there. The area is unfamiliar to me and quite confusing with winding...

A very useful insight that has been helping me a lot at my new workplace is the realization that "it's not what I think", or "it's not what I think it's about". When people speak to me, or when I listen to them speaking to each other, realizing that the true purpose of what they are saying and...

I will never be "cool". Never have been. At our church, everyone is friendly. Within that over all friendly community, there are smaller groups of people who gravitate towards each other through commonality. Well, there is one group that's kind of "cool" I guess. They are in no way snobby...

This blog used to be called Sarah's Blog but I decided to rename it something else. This blog is now called Blog of Days, and it's a spin on the name of The Psychedelic Furs' sixth album Book Of Days (1989). Even though the name is Psychedelic Furs related, this blog is still not about music...

If you feel moved to help the recent hurricane victims, but do not know where to donate, you might want to consider donating to Lutheran Social Services. They are separate from the Lutheran Church and are very efficient. 100% of your money donated goes to victims. They do not spend any money on...
