Looking at Wrong Planet's narrative and numbers, and King_Oni's recent posts, I wonder if the ability to define myself not by issues and others, but by interests and loves, is what would make the difference between repelling and attracting positive things in life.
How do I turn my engine into a...
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...
Last year September, or thereabouts, there was a black rat in my place. At the time, i didn't know about my asperger's. but the extra sensory situation rendered me a nervous wreck.
If a see an ant; I will itch all over from the mere awareness of there being a little critter around. I generally...
Previously: one loose end in my head got teased out, and like a pull on a knit sweater, I'm unraveling a bit. Don't hold me to any kind of standard on this post...it's experimental writing.
I connect to joy when I can run with my own mind.
If social psychology is right, we make everything up...
Previously: the Deathcake Series (have you made Deathcake?) modelled the process of how a trigger causes a cascade into crushing depression. I learned how panic actually has a calming effect on a part of my nature. But it couldn't tell me why I keep crashing and burning. It took the cumulative...
Can enough small histories help me make better decisions about what, and how, to prune the growths in my life that don't make me happy? Am I reasonably certain that I can tell a growth that's bad from a growth that's good?
Things I have to make a decision about include choir, church (the...
I think I'm way too sensitive for like, existence.
I'm also kind of an as whole, though.
So I'm not really sure how that works.
Everyone is so mean.
Maybe I don't realize how mean I am to everyone every day.
I wish I knew.
...because, really- ouch.
Changing relationships--work, church, or major routines--make me behave kind of oddly. I don't know how to read myself, or how other people will read me.
Trying to resolve my choir crisis, I printed out two of my own blog pieces (Psalm 51 and Aspie reads the Book of Numbers), and the inside...
The first time I read that as an aspie, I would have problems with "executive function," I shrugged it off with the thought, "I never wanted to run the company." I'm fortunate in that unlike many of my siblings on the spectrum, I've been able to hold down a job (or get a succession of them), buy...
I'm not sure I like the new contract that the client has already assumed I'll accept. However, it occurs to me that the strengths others need and draw from me may not always be the ones I want to exercise. It has already occurred to me that by not answering the question someone was presumptuous...
so, I guess I don't know what to do at this point.
after talking with the counselor the other day, and her confirming that I do match a lot of the traits of aspergers, but her saying that she wouldn't "put that label" on me because she didn't think I matched enough of them, I was a bit...
Eastern philosophies can appear mysterious or unfathomable to the western mind, and beneath many of those philosophies lies an energy that is sorely misunderstood.
The power of Chi (or Qi ~ pron. Chee).
Chi is not confined to the Chinese mindset as it also occurs as Ki (Reiki) in Japan, Prana...
ISSUE:
State Rep. Rick Brattin from Missouri has proposed a bill regarding SNAP benefits. SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Food Stamps] benefits are benefits in the US which provide assistance to purchase food. To qualify one must provide several proofs, including income, bank...
so, I just found out about the blogs here, and I'm thinking that I should start documenting my journey to trying to find a diagnosis. Whether I come up with an answer of ASD or not, I feel close enough to the community, and sure enough of what my diagnosis could be, that it's pertinent to talk...
Another wrestling-with-the-angels post, from an "aspiscopalian." My opinions represent myself only and express my experiences only.
I went to church this morning because I had a reading. Otherwise, I think I would not have gone.
Reading a lesson at one of the high holidays isn't an accidental...
Previously: Energy Webs introduced my uneasiness about what makes a photograph rise to the status of fine art: it's not just a mastery of technique. I can make technically perfect pictures that bore me. What else gets in there? And what got to me on this trip?
"All houses in which men have...
I had to yell at one of my doctors yesterday.
To give a head's up: This is about way more than girly hormone stuff, so you might want to stick around if it would otherwise weird you out.
I started a new birth control recently. I had been on a hormonal shot for a long time- part of this is for...
Inspired by recent events in my life, here and elsewhere, and catalyzed by a presentation on ancient wisdom and respect for nature. Unfortunately, the piece is so short--less than 5 minutes--that I didn't get as much as I wanted.
The story opens with a man who concealed himself to take...
OK, I admit that possession is not 9/10ths of the law, and before you all go running off to find an exorcist I can safely say that I'm not talking about that kind of possession either.
Within taoism, and especially acupuncture, there is another meaning to the term 'being possessed' and that is...
