The noise oh the noise.
I may be mentally impaired.
Pills to float on the surface of sanity.
People I knew in high school moving fluidly through life.
Perplexed at how so many autistic folk move, as NT's, with much fluidity.
Enter autistic space and feel like an outsider. Maybe wires...
With some midday luck I turn on the cassette player and skip three times to one of my favorite bands; explosions in the sky.
I read up on the different types of clouds last night and it got me thinking; there's a blog here and i should put the sentence about how i read about cloud types on it...
I really hate how hatred for "pit bull" type dogs runs so deep that...
When a dog that's not a pit bull attacks and injures someone, the online conversation is still about pit bulls.
I was reading comments in regards to a chow-lab mix that stalked and attacked a little boy like he was a rabbit...
I feel like running away but instead I'm just rooted here in my bed, going over the details of yet another drama in my mind, feeling the fallout & wondering how things might proceed from here in due course. Will I ever encounter again the old lady with the walking frame to whom, when she...
Caffeine is a psychoactive drug (i love that word) and another thing i love is stream-of-consciousness and ommitting things like punctuation because the true expression of the aspie mind is in the flow of ideas and questions and the world moving or rather passing by without a care in the world...
While I'm awaiting a reply from the writer's colony, I realized that committing to membership in effect gave me permission to have a nice thing that spawns other nice things. It's as if a blindfold fell from my eyes: the idea that I have to wait to solve all my getting-along-with-the-world...
I keep hopping around the things I need to write about because, frankly, it's difficult to do that- to actually write about what I need to write about. I feel like it's just a lot of freaking work.
Things I want to write about:
I'm realizing one of the ways I can be aided in expressing periods...
...That is how the mantis shrimp do.
So... I got caught up watching True Facts videos on YouTube, which are pretty amusing- sometimes disturbing and occasionally make my brain turn inside out.
I came upon the one on the mantis shrimp [seen above]. It already had me hooked with the eyesight...
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...
So pain is no where near where it was.
But it's different, and kind of bad.
I'm pretty sure that is a combination of not really sleeping a whole lot/well and being so completely stressed out and anxious that the tension in my upper back is just totally ****ing everything.
So it's really...

The one thing that causes people with aptitude, ability, and ambition to become better than themselves isn't talent, or genius, or even luck, said one book I read recently. The distinguishing attribute is "deliberate practice." The perceptiveness about seeking...
I was reading a story about a man in Denmark who committed suicide after his happy well behaved dog was taken from him and euthanized because it resembled a pitbull-type dog.
One of the people commenting wrote the following.
"Dogs ARE possessions. The dog breed was BANNED - end of story. He...
"Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief..." Grief Lessons: a Book of Questions....
I sat in the tiny, sunlit office, for the second-to-the-last-time, and the moment I sat down, I couldn't speak. I could feel an angry wire...
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 have repeatedly tried to explain it by comparing the idea to the airline staff instruction:
"...in the event of decompression, secure your own mask first and then assist other passengers."

Ok wait:
So I've been saying this for years and then I just now went to look for literal specific...
I won't quote the post that spurred this entry--or the approving(!) follow-up, but I have to say: we aspies can easily earn a reputation for cruelty, smallness, or indifference all too easily. Having a social deficit is no excuse for mocking other disabilities; the first is a given, but the...
