WhyYou are very kind, thank you for your understanding response. I feel much better now than a week ago- AprilR

WhyI’m surprised too when I learn people like me, on the forum or IRL. That’s why it’s important you just keep being you. We have an impaired...

"I hope you find someone who is brave enough to enter your storm, and respects you enough to love the size of your waves. I hope you find someone who will relish the calm you can have and who is eager to set sail on the expanse of your mind. I hope you find someone that can't escape the love...
haiku x1
I bought a book of haiku in the first book store that
I was ever in (not counting the school book store,
which definitely didn't count.)
This is the one I remember.
I still have the book, but without looking the one I
remember is:
old pond
frog jump in
water sound
Yeah.
I know...
Aspie Quiz
Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 156 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 61 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)
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...
The words "alphabet- A + numbers 1 through 25"
sounds like a formula/recipe/slogan for canned pasta that has a target market of children
sounds like it could be a description of the Campbell's soup I ate when I was little
could be a filing system, A1, A2, B1, B2, B3 and so on
could be a...
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...
kissyface 2.0
could be a robot
could be an ap for figuring out makeup styles
could be a doll for children

could be an animated feature with lots of pastel hearts in the scenes
could be a make up kit which is the upgraded, new & improved version

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!
