As some of you might know from the past few months ago when I posted about it; my mom has been transferred to a carehome, since she’s not able to live at home anymore. The care she needs is too intensive to provide here with all the therapies she has and as time passes and my dad and she visit...
More and more I’ve been running into an interesting situation. By my therapist, by social services… and even the government office who pays disability income (despite I’m not a recipient; I have been there a few times for interviews).
As it is now more and more the focus is shifted towards...
After yesterday’s blog I posted about choices I had a sudden moment of clarity. I have these moments from time to time… out of nothing. One thought becomes the next… and I had it when reading a comicbook; one, I didn’t like (which is why I stopped reading it and writing here). So maybe what set...
After a bit of a back and forth with my careercoach and therapist I've come to the point where they think I cannot make choices. Perhaps they're right.
Here's the thing though; I can easily tell what I don't want (which IMO is a choice as well). It just takes a bit longer to eliminate...
The more I think about it, the more I notice it. The world is based upon too many assumptions. And granted, it has worked fine for most part. Perhaps it’s partially because I’m an aspie that I’m being confronted with the fact that either I, nor others with whom I (have to) interact shouldn’t...
Life sometimes is confusing. For a variety of reasons, but rarely for the following I’m about to write about. I suppose a little notion of “this might be emotional to some” comes in effect here. (And, a little bit of swearing)
A precedence which seems to be relevant in this; It’s not that weird...
Over the last few months I’ve been seeing a therapist. Mostly over future prospects and issues thereof and less for “personal” matters.
I’m not depressed beyond what I can’t manage; I don’t “suffer” from my AS in my direct personal life. It’s actually all revolving around the horse I’ve been...
Like some I’m not employed and like some I’m seeing a therapist. But unlike some, I’m somewhat content with my life at the moment.
As I’ve written in one of my earlier blogs on this forum I seem to live in quite aspie-optimal circumstances. Even my social worker commented, last year, that it’s...
Earlier this week I posted about a pending date with a woman with whom I’ve been mailing on and off for the past few months. I’ve gotten to quite like her over a variety of factors. I didn’t see a picture of her before so it was pretty much a “blind date” for me. And that in turn made it a bit...
Quite recently while browsing and reading up on peoples thoughts on Asperger’s, someone posed the question “How do you make sense of the world?”
Hm… how do I? Perhaps I don’t make sense of the world. It’s not the most logical place. But all that aside, it made me think about something else...
Something on my mind for quite a while now and I’ve been wanting to talk about this in my blog for a few months already (though I just kept postponing sitting down for it); As some of you know I tend to ramble a bit about AS and employment. It tends to be a bit of a sore spot for me. I’ve had...
It seems I can’t even attend a party without discussing autism… but I guess for good reason and food for thought.
Last week I was at a party. An aspie friend of mine recently moved out from his parents’ house and decided to rent a place with his girlfriend. So at some point I suppose there’s...
Last week I finally got documentation from the government telling me I do qualify for a disability workplace placement program, which I guess is good news. Stabilizes my situation by quite a bit, since now I know I don?t have to go through all kinds of hoops to get adequate education at my own...
I?ve been wondering something for a while, and today pretty much was the final straw for me to write about it.
There have been many blogs, articles, videos and the like about it online and I?m one in so many. But here?s the issue.
Is ?autistic? as an insult becoming the new ?retarded?? Or...
Anyone unfamiliar with the word "apartheid" (taken from Wiki)
Apartheid (Afrikaans pronunciation: [ɐˈpɑːrtɦɛit]; from Afrikaans "the state of being apart") was a system of racial segregation enforced through legislation by the National Party (NP) governments, who were the ruling party from 1948...
Much like many others on the spectrum, I?ve tried to self-medicate. Not self-medicate for autism as such, since we all know there is no such thing. I did however look into the options if I could fight off depression for the time being.
Depression has been a thing on and off for me due to a...
This is a follow up to part 1.
Part 1 is found here.
So, what else is there?
3. Future outlooks; Again, this entire relationship is becoming part of it. I have yet to apply for disability workplace assistance. Yet, even if I apply, it will take 5 years to be placed. And there?s clearly...
Over the past year I?ve been feeling slightly depressed. And frantically I?ve been looking at reasons why this is. And I might have found a solid reasoning for it. And slowly it?s becoming a snowball effect and it?s gaining a lot of momentum.
I don?t really want to rant about my relationship...
Yes, that was a Big Lebowski reference.
Anyway;
Earlier this week the national mail service in my country came out with a statement regarding a situation that occurred.
The situation; a 26-year old newly hired postman (woman actually, but gender isn?t relevant here) decided to burn all...
It?s been an interesting few years for me. In the past 6 years or so I?ve went from hunches to flat out self-diagnosis and analysis, went in to clinics, talked to professionals and apparently I was spot on with what was going on.
I recall in 2007, talking to a friend and talking about AD(H)D...
