Everyday Life
I have been in a depressed mood ever since I saw the career counselor and took the aptitude test. Let's just say that like many Aspies, my interests and likes are directly inversely proportional to their marketability. In other words, if it's a high-paying, high-demand career, I am not likely...
I saw on an "Autism Parents" type website one time a line from an NT parent of a child with a more severe rendition of Autism that was something along the lines of "Asperger's/HFA isn't really Autism. People who supposedly have Asperger's don't know what it's like to really have Austism."...
This Sunday at church they had a professor of economics talk about inequalities. The church I am in is big into social justice and stuff like that.
Anyway this professor went on and on about the fabled "one percent" that holds most of the wealth in the United States. You know, people like...
Hey everybody :)
It's been some time since my first post, and I have learned much since.
I seem to have acquired so much information about AS, that I feel I should soon be graduating from Aspie school, haha, though there's always so much more to learn. Using my newly acquired knowledge, I have...
I had no idea there was a blog page. I've been on this website for nearly 3 months and I had no idea there was this thing.
I suppose I might as well do something with it, then.
This blog will most likely not be updated regularly, since my internet access is limited (I can only be on it while...
Well, after much, much, much pleading by the Sunday evening Bible group leader, I have consented (although unwillingly) to appear before the group for a conflict resolution meeting. I am not optimistic about the results and I have already moved on in my mind.
What started the furor were two...
I see where Westboro Baptist Church has been in the news lately; it seems that its founder recently passed away and so they are facing a where do we go from here moment. I have to confess I only know of the WBC by reputation (and it isn't good!) so I don't know if this is a one-family church or...
Well, it looks like I will be parting ways with my friends from my old church. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, I just didn't know when or how. I knew I'd been living on borrowed time with them ever since I left to join the Unitarian-Universalists, so this new development comes...
Yesterday I wrote about the Illinois Republican (my bad, should have checked google) who has been going around saying that God is using autism and tornadoes to punish the US for supporting gay rights. It's actually far worse than that as one of my respondents pointed out. Macular degeneration...
Once again, religiously-sanctioned discrimination raises its ugly head, this time in Arizona where legislation is actually being considered to allow business owners to refuse to serve gay people. At this writing it's not sure if it will go through, but if it does, I have some questions for the...
Not quite sure how to categorise this...
Wow, I really haven't been on here in a long time. I haven't been on here in so long that my 14th birthday passed! Seriously, that was October 13th. Gosh this site got a makeover.
Lots of stuff has happened since then, of course. I got thrown around for...
The other day I saw a news article about a high school that had banned certain articles of clothing because school officials thought they were too provocative. Yes, that's right, the ruling was primarily aimed at female students. Ok, so this is sexism at work, right?
But then I read a quote...
My schedule for work leaves me just enough time to get my personal chores, studying {positive motivational quotes, self esteem, assertiveness training, letting go of baggage} and a little time for offline socializing. I've rededicated myself to being positive thru action.
Haven't had much...
I was browsing on Google and out of boredom of course, I decided to search my username and actually came across one of my old WordPress blogs and of course, what I see just reading that old blogs is clearly nothing but a depressed and clearly confused me. Still of course, I suffer from both...
Just starting to get familiar with this site and I thought I'd try out writing a blog post! I've become so unfamiliar with writing about myself - I already write for a makeup and beauty blog which is very non-personal, factual and full of super-high-quality photos of lipsticks and hundreds of...
Thank you all for your patience, kindness and trying to teach me in a gentle way.
Especially when I have vented about a lack of contact with my son and my ex-wife. You all gently have allowed me to vent.
Many times on various threads I think "no way man, I'm right, you are wrong." Then...
I am going somewhere with that. Really.
I recently moved back to Buenos Aires. The apartment I live in (in the 'barrio' or neighbourhood of Belgrano) may have lovely real estate value and what not but it hasn't had any updates in....years. Central air is not a very common thing to start with...
I want to type up a little bit of my story. I am actually working on trying to write a book but haven?t gotten very far with it yet.
When I was in elementary school my mom knew something was wrong because I wasn?t learning what I needed to in school and they wouldn?t test me to try to figure...
I have often wondered why I can't seem to do as much as the average person. Because of my money situation I've been required to get an additional job, which makes four jobs total. My main job that I love and really don't want to screw up is being a special ed paraprofessional. My second is my...
