"We're all on the spectrum somewhere, aren't we?" I hear this phrase a lot from people who are well meaning, well-read and reasonably aware of Autism. I used to accept it without question but, over time, my annoyance at the phrase grew until it was more likely to be met with angry disagreement...
Many of us Aspies find ourselves spending a lot of time with computers. This can be due to a number of reasons. Some are particularly good with computers; coding, scripting, diagnostics etc. Others are users, like me; experts in using software for various purposes, or avid gamers or...
There are a number of well known characteristics associated with Aspies. (Those who know me personally will know how long it has taken me to reconcile my feelings about using the word "Aspie" but I suppose there is no denying that it takes less time to type.)
The media tend to focus on the...
If I tend, in my musings, to linger on the things that are difficult, challenging or otherwise worthy of dissection and explanation, it is because I am eminently practical: I want to fix things that are not working, improve experiences that are not beneficial... The ratio of difficulties to...
It is a subject I hear discussed only occasionally, and then usually by professional types, as part of abstracts about ongoing research into Autism and Asperger's… but it is one that fascinates me. It is, in part, the reason for my user name: Talentless Liar. I consider myself to be an honest...
I worry about things a lot. This can make me seem pessimistic and paranoid, but it is something I struggle to control. It’s something that has been with me for as long as I can remember. Whenever I had an unsatisfactory exchange with a family member, another student, or teacher at school, (a...
Making friends and maintaining friendships has always been nigh on impossible for me. I can only assume that there is some point where the interaction becomes intuitive, and no longer requires excessive effort on the part of the friends. In my experience, this juncture in a relationship...
'Tis the season to be merry! Indeed, it makes sense to cheer oneself up at the time of year (certainly in the UK) when the commercial world is doing its level best to drive everyone to distraction…
I am, technically, a Catholic. Yes, I understand that this sentence broadcasts my indecision...
"People with Asperger's are Difficult." An ambiguous statement and the default position of many, I am sure. What does it mean? I have heard it applied to me on several occasions and I am sure it has been applied out of earshot on countless other occasions. To my understanding, it can mean...
Hello. Let me introduce myself, or rather, my alter-ego, Talentless Liar. "What?" I hear you say, (assuming anyone is out there) "That’s a bit negative isn’t it?" Well, no. Or yes and no, to be more accurate. Does it mean I’m talentless and a liar? Does it mean I’m merely bad at lying...
For once, I really don't have anything I want for Christmas. Christmas as a child was always a household affair with just me, my parents, siblings, and pets. I only remember spending a single holiday with the extended family a few states over and it was when I was really little. Mom and dad save...
Yeah so i deleted all my blog entries cause i thought i was being too much of a naïve trusting rambling idiot on here, and yet here i am making another one. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it. I just wanted someplace to put my thoughts. That's all i ever used the blog for anyways. I've been crying...
Today I made a healthy meal all by myself! I feel really awkward and nervous cooking around other people so I waited until everyone left, which is rare cause there's always somebody else home. But anyways, I've been wanting to try to make ranchero scrambled eggs for quite a while. I've made...
Today I feel this inner climate of darkness that is chocking me like a fog, it sticks in my throat, I gag on it. I am having a difficult time concentrating on any one thing. focus eludes me.
I never understood weight issues until I gained weight and, for the first time in my life, fell into a healthy weight range. At least according to lots of google searching for height/weight/age/gender charts. I was born very premature. I was underweight for most of my life and probably would...
My wife is being short with me again. I know she dose not mean it, she is tired and overworked, and she takes it out on me. I try not to get upset. the logical part of my brain tells me it is nothing personal, but the other part makes me up set, thinking I did something wrong.
Is this my badly...
Not that he was truly elected - apparently come this morning, Clinton won the popular vote but the electoral college had already called the vote hours prior b/c Trump got the minimum number of delegates votes. And we all know the electoral college elects the president not us. This isn't the...
Trump as president, what a terrible out come. This represents the pinnacle of Americas ignorance. In my mind it proves that the American people are not capable of making a rational decision. They are dazzled by the foolish antics of a reality television personality, and a corrupt business man...
I dread leaving my apartment. I live in a third floor walk up. Once a day I have to go and collect my mail which is in the hall way on the ground floor. There is this old man who lives in the flat next to the mail boxes. Sometimes he waits out there for people to get their mail so he can talk to...
November already, I feel as though I have accomplished almost nothing. I am nearly done with my degree, but rather then feeling relief or a sense of accomplishment I feel fear, anxiety. I will have to start looking for a job. The thought of interviews, hand shakes, small talk fills me with a...
