I read and reviewed a chapter of fan fiction as requested, this morning. I received an error message when I tried to post it because the original fan fiction had been deleted. As others on this site have commented, you need to be patient when you post something on this site. A lot of us here...

My apt tends to run about 20 degrees hotter than outside in hot weather. I turned to an old remedy for this problem called Okie air conditioners. They are easy to make. They do not take long to make and they work especially well in small spaces, and are cheap to run. They are also easier on the...

I was doing a lot of thinking. How my parental figure failed me as a child and young adult. How important is the status in society when you can't provide for your child's special needs. Like needing back braces, eye glasses, braces for over bites that affect the jaw, getting your child evaluated...

Tonight I had to tell my sister the honest truth. That talking on the phone makes me very uncomfortable and that it had nothing to do with her. Any one else hate talking on the phone except to make business calls?

So it's been precisely 4 days since I found out that I am very likely on the spectrum. And the more I find out, the more I am sure this is what's wrong with me. I feel wierdly comforted. Like when I blurt out all the inappropriate things that make people uncomfortable - instead of retreating...

I have been working on development of better social skills most of my life, so I have more of them in some ways, than an average Aspie or Autie. I plan to share some of the little steps that helped me to do this, so other interested Autism Spectrum folks can do the same. As I mentioned in my...

I only recently knew a name for something that I had some awareness of for a while. Experts call this, "microexpressions". They are fleeting expressions that appear on a person's face. They are difficult, if not impossible to fake, so they reveal true feelings to anyone who is able to read them...

My wife, Bobbi, and I met in 1993. Our first couple years together were, at times, turbulent. She was (and still is) a strong, independent, and responsible woman. I on the other hand, was close to imploding. I put too many quarters in the jute box, stayed out to late, and drove motorcycles way...

If you are not officially diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum, or were diagnosed later in life, you probably did not get training to compensate for some of our disadvantages. I think lack of social skills is our worst disadvantage. I do not think we have to just accept our fate helplessly...

5 is red 7 is yellow 5 is red That's the color of the digits five, seven, and five. I see them in my head that way. I see colors for the digits zero through nine. They don't change into other colors or blend when they are next to each other as larger numbers. The number 253 for instance is...

The words "animals + numbers 1-30 and alpha" This combination of words is somewhat cryptic looking due to the word "alpha." In this case, "alpha" refers to using letters of the alphabet, like the clerical designation "alpha-numeric." I have an advantage when thinking about the words of the...

huggybear 2.0 would be a toy, I think. with curly fur in various pastel shades huggybear 2.0 could be PG-13 rated video game, the name being ironic, because the bear would be a vicious adversary that crushes its foes I'd rather that huggybear 2.0 not be a state approved euthanasia device for...

Here are a few photos of the fruits I got today. The strawberries, plums, and black raspberries are understandable, the red, hairy things are called rambutans. They originated in southeastern Asia, and they are quite tasty!
