I am a Protestant Christian, a believer in reformed theology (most commonly called Calvinism), a pastor and theologian. Keep in mind that my responses are always going to be from this perspective. A few years back, a JW elder making his rounds in the area stopped by my home to try to convert my...

Mom, I said that I kept this blog for you to read when you grew up. If it is now that you are ready to face the truth, then go on, this was made for you to know about what really happened with my life, the one you never truly saw. I can't believe that I am saying this to you, I had a hard time...
I am at a point in my daily interactions that I feel like I could explode. I want to talk to someone so desperately to talk about my day yesterday. I am not scheduled to see anyone until Tuesday at 4 pm. That seems like a long time to try to keep everything inside.

No, that's not a typo. My last day of work was Wednesday (due to Thanksgiving on Thursday here in the US), and yes, I consider it a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I loved the place I worked at. I loved the people, the management rocked, it was a great gig. The work itself, though, wore me...

We just got a letter thing about benefits and what my son is entitled to. On it is a rather generic "Autism Disorder" diagnostic code, so it seems the testing we had done (for which the follow-up isn't until Thursday) ended up with a positive determination. This doesn't come as a surprise...

When I was a young person, I doubt if anyone would have called my sensory issues "clinical". I was notably sensitive, and certain sounds like food processors and lawnmowers have always bothered me, but as an adult I am driven mad by thousands of sounds I don't think existed with any degree of...

I don't mean to be emo or anything negative, I'm just calling it as I see it, but I noticed that the people who screw over others get away with it and are often times praised for their actions. For example, I was bullied constantly in high school and my only hope for making out of there alive...

When I was a fourteen-year-old unknowing Aspie and already suffering the pain of loneliness and emotional abuse at the hands of parents who weren't there when I needed them and who invalidated my every act, choice, goal, feeling when they were.. I had found a partial escape in reading and...

I've been awake for an hour, another nightmare - they're back again! I'm somewhere, in a lounge.. I see her moving around, doing things, looking for something she's put down. She's getting angry because the state of the place means she can't find it - she never does any housework, I'll have a...

The marriage, the emotional abuse and the kids. I'm crying because I've had a typical - and then some - sunday's travail of taking my ten year old home to his mother. The verbal cues are usually apparent to me from early afternoon, but I'm always post-aware of.. signs.. attitude.. early in the...

If I don't figure this out, I may not be human. What is a family, and how do you make one? Why do we make them? Why do we miss them? What do we do--literally--what do we do without them? Family is like democracy. It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the...

I went to the doctor today. It was productive. I'm just going to try to summarize via bullet points and micro-vignettes some of the things I conveyed [though I'm sure that will still get a little lengthy]. _______ Receptionist: Are you feeling ok? Me: Uh. hot. I'm... HOT. I'm hot. I'm really...

The only social system where I've felt comfortable is the family I have now, and it's small. Today my son leaves for a two-week trip and I am aware that it will be very quiet. The Empty Nest isn't here yet, but I can feel the tremors for it. My son is older, hairier, more confident, and the...

We are more alike than we are different. Aren't we? And yet, the differences are important, so important that we choose our friends and lovers by them, declare enmities based on them, and develop passionate convictions along these lines we draw in the sand. What don't we like about the fact that...

One of the things I love about AspiesCentral is that it is a very welcoming, accepting place. That is not a common thing on the web. (I could comment further on that, and once upon a time I probably would have spent a few thousand words expounding on the subject, but that time is no longer.) I...
