The other night I came home from work and found my rent statement on my door, When I read it I just about had a heart attack. They had way overcharged me on electric! So I went to my neighbors and found that they had been overcharged even more, over a full month's rent. And what they are...

Yesterday I wrote about the necessity of having thick skin if you are creating something of yourself for the public. I'd like to share an actual rejection letter that I received. I don't have the letter but the words are seared into my heart. To give a little background, I had spent at least...
Lately I have been working with several of my neighbors regarding conditions in the trailer park and in doing so am getting a crash course in trailer park activism. The first thing I have learned is that trailer parks exist in a sort of legal limbo. Much of the resources available to other...
The other day I had a conversation with an artist from my church that has left me in doubt as to whether I should continue my art--or whether I am heading down a road to heartbreak. But then, again, SHE may be heading down the road to heartbreak as well. She was selling calendars featuring...

Yesterday, I went to an Asperger's group that I found on Meetup.com. I had been a member of the group for a couple of months now and finally worked up the courage to go. I was very disappointed. 7 people, other than the counselor, showed up. Two were the mothers of some AS young men (19 and...

The other day I got a flyer in the mail advertising a church carnival. It's from one of the newer area churches, one probably very much like the one I spent three years in. It promises fun, games, music. Come as you are, everyone welcome. Now, maybe I am a bit old-fashioned and showing my...

Robert Frost's poem on the "Road Less Traveled" has been quoted so often it has become a cliche. Yet when I look over my life I see how much truth there is in that poem. Except that I didn't choose to take the road less traveled, it just happened. I've been away from Aspies Central for...

Yay, my first blog! That settled, today when I was going to the Movie Theater on my campus, I couldn't get a ticket because they only accepted cash, the ATMs only printed 20s, and I only had 2.05 on my debit card (ಠ_ಠ). However, there was this extremely generous man who saw me in my dilema and...

Hey everyone :) It's time once more for another one of my blog posts. So far I've only really written about my experiences with AS. This next chapter will of course discuss AS as well, as it is now a very real part of my everyday life, but will touch on my experiences in trying to make it in...
I'm in the college library. I can't read my books because there is constant noise in here. I was going to sit in the Quiet Study room, but there were two people sitting close together in there sharing a computer screen, a clear omen of chattering. Yes, people actually go into the Quiet Study...

I actually did it, I went public with my Asperger's (and my depression). I did it in my professional blog. Like I put in that blog entry, the two driving reasons behind my choice were Greg Baugues, a speaker for Twilio I met a couple months ago, and the death of Robin Williams. Williams's...

I hate emotional people. No, I'm not going to specify precisely what I mean by "emotional people." I can't see how they are as anything but a character flaw. How could it be good or even just neutral to judge so much by how it makes one feel? I hate being bathed in the sappy light of their...
One of the questions I get asked a lot when people find I don't have a TV is do I feel I am missing out a lot? Actually, no. There is quite a bit that I am aware of, even without a TV. And one of them is the continuing saga of the Duggar family now in its second generation. Now, I have not...
I went to an Aspie meetup the other day in my town and they told me it's not worth it getting diagnosed! I feel like an Aspie but still struggling to understand whether I fit the criteria. Obviously, there are some criteria that I don't fit. Does it mean that I don't belong here? Probably not. I...
