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 have never blogged before, but I am compelled to extend my thoughts, and feeling in this way at this moment. I have been spending a great deal of time trying to figure out if the way I view this world is actually reality, or if it is just my reality. I have been coming up against so many...
Something that is being talked about with most AS groups I have been on is relationships. 1: can people with Aspergers have a relationship and 2: Could it be between someone who has AS and someone is NT. This is always something that has made me think. I have always been in a relationship I am...
I get easily upset and I've discovered that this is because I still react, emotionally, to everything how I would react if it were my mom. Even at work. So while at the end of the day, some sort of self-CBT is what I think is needed, that's a lot of work. So I made some advice someone gave me...
What monster jam monster trucks do you like alot or are your favorites ?
Has anyone ever bought monster jam merchandise or been to a monster jam show ?
Anyone have any made up names for future trucks ?
Its amazing, I actually woke up before noon today! Well usually I wake up around 10 but I just could NOT get to sleep last night and I wanted to actually enjoy my day off so I forced myself to set an alarm for 9am. I got woken up by my mom’s clients anyways, though. Also as usual, I just chose...
How do you keep going when the one person whose supposed to love you unconditionally doesn't. It hurts cause if my own mother doesn't think i'm good enough then who else would. Dad's there but he's always been so distant. He's always just stood by and let her throw insults and say demeaning...
I'm taking a plunge and going into business for myself (and family). I'm buying a pharmacy in Philadelphia! I used to work for the chains, and found a niche in my area, but was terminated, supposedly for proper reasons, but I never know for sure, as I don't do corporate politics well ;)...
My world is changing. I suppose this simple statement is open to many different interpretations but, I assure you, my world has never shown any signs of changing in the most important way. Until now.
I speak of the gradual unveiling of the NT world that is accompanying my deepening foray into...
I am currently writing a book. This is a collaboration with my son who's just turned eleven. It's the most recent in a long series of collaborations with him on a number of different projects - most of them, unplanned. For years, he has drawn fantastical beasts and regaled me with tales from...
I am often told that I am talented. I am aware that this is meant as a compliment, but I struggle with the concept of compliments. I am aware that the 'normal' response to a compliment (apart from acknowledgement and reciprocation) is to 'feel good about oneself.' I understand that this is...
I have, in the past, been guilty of disparaging comments about social media. I have poured buckets of vitriol on what I saw as the enemies of Tim Berners-Lee's dream of the Internet - the voyeuristic and inflammatory nonsense, the sheer inaccuracy of so much of the content, the disproportionate...
I heard some excellent advice recently; this from someone who's judgement I have come trust in a remarkably short time. He said : "Surround yourself with kind people." This chimed with another piece of advice I read many years ago; a little snippet of wisdom from Ashleigh Brilliant: "Be kind...
When I explain to people that I have Aspergers, the response can be somewhat polarised. I am met either with a knowing smile and a slow nod, (as if this is mere confirmation of a long suspected fact) or with utter consternation and denial. However, both camps can easily be united in disbelief...
I was recently received a rather unexpected invitation from my old Art Club. I was asked if I'd like to come along and be judge for their Annual Art Exhibition. Oh, and by the way, if I could see my way to providing a short workshop on pastel work at a later date, then that would be lovely...
I recently attended a workshop hosted by BASS (Bristol Autistic Spectrum Service) on Friendship. Hearing others' definitions of friends, and hearing about their expectations and experiences was sobering. Friendship is something I have coveted for as long as I can remember, but it has always...
I listened recently to an abridged reading of Chris Packham's 'Fingers in the Sparkle Jar' (I will read the full text soon) and was mesmerised and deeply affected to hear another voice that has experienced life in a similar way to me... One that has responded with similar vigor and been hurt in...
Radiohead made my day today. They have re-emerged after a long hiatus, with the release of "Burn the Witch." Now. Just so we are clear... I am no 'fan girl' (whatever that means!) I love Radiohead's music, but then, I like an awful lot of music across many, many genres. But listening to...
Of all the behaviours that characterise my Asperger's there is one I struggle to explain to neuro-typicals (NTs). It seems to be so alien a concept to most; one that NTs often rationalise it as 'showing off' or 'bragging' or suchlike.
I like to be busy. It is integral to my continued...
I recently travelled to Egypt for a diving holiday. Seems such a straightforward and harmless statement doesn't it? I went on holiday - just popped onto a plane and got off in another country, got my transfer to the accommodation and Bob's your uncle!
Here's how my experience really went:
We...
