    do you believe in magick?

    Growing up with MY mom, I've been continually encouraged to believe that there is no magic, and that everything works because of the way God wills it to. That said, just because it's what SHE believes doesn't mean it's what I believe. What I believe in is being open minded. The presence of God...

    What is your social kryptonite?

    For me, I'd have to say the main thing that dissolves my normalcy is seeing Disney's Frozen everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. Not just Disney's Frozen, but also Disney's Big Hero Six, "Disney's" Star Wars, "Disney's" The Avengers, "Disney's" X-Men and Marvel- It's just so different from the...

    How Will You Spend Thanksgiving Day and Why?

    Personally, I always spend Thanksgiving with my family, and in more recent years, my family has been limited to my mom, given that everyone else lives so far away now (My brother and his wife and kids are spending the holiday with his in-laws). Since my mom isn't real big on cooking, we always...

    Did anybody say something to change your life?

    I think one thing that really changed my life was when I was working at Peninsula Works taking apart computers, and I talked about how much I hated the job, and I let it slip that I never went to college. A coworker said to me: "That's probably why you can't get a better job than this." I hated...

    Rules oriented

    As I see it, there's kind of a difference between following the rules and having a strong sense of right and wrong. Also, I believe right and wrong are sometimes a matter of opinion. The way that I see it, a lot of people are really pretty desensitized when it comes to minor or low-profile...

    Autistic Man in Jail for Talking to Some Kids

    Okay, I just want to put in my two cents here. It's no secret that men are, in general, more often accused of being sexual offenders of youth than women are, AND I hear all kinds of things like how men think about sex every seven seconds. As a 32-year-old male virgin, I'm more than a little...

    Using fictional characters for help with transitions/soothing/skills?

    I most certainly do rely on fictional characters, and I have done for as long as I can remember. Maybe it's just that some part of me refuses to grow up, or maybe it's just that I find comfort in cartoons and fictional characters that I grew up with, that I trust them like someone would a teddy...

    How do you deal with shame and regret?

    Believe me, it DOES sound familiar. Things in my past, things that I've seen and/or done haunt me for reasons I don't really understand. There are a number of reasons I feel ashamed at times, and not all of them have always made sense. Some things still don't make sense. As for the way I deal...

    Happy Birthday to anyone born on October 25th!

    I realize this is kind of late for me to be posting this thread, but I forgot for a while. Anyway, as I recall, I had a follower who was the same age as I am (32 this year), and with the same birthday as me, October 25th that is. I enjoy being a Scorpio, AND having the Chinese zodiac sign of the...

    How Aspies find comfort

    Well, I can only speak for myself here, but for me, comfort comes from two different things. First of all, I love animals, especially furry ones like cats or dogs. Petting animals is supposed to lower blood pressure and promote calm. I don't have any pets of my own, but at my general work, there...

    What Do You Think Of The Autism Severity Scale?

    Personally, I like to think I'm level 1 most of the time. I've taken a number of college courses without even mentioning to the teacher I had Aspbergers, and I can generally carry on a to-and-fro conversation even if I know little or nothing about the subject. A sudden change in focus often...

    What exactly IS "cute"?

    First off, sorry I've been away for so long. Part of it has been being busy, part has been not knowing what to say, and part has been not knowing how to say it. But now I'm back, and I wanted to ask what exactly does "cute" mean? I know my mom has often used that word to describe things that had...

    What's your invention?

    Well, that all depends on what exactly "inventing" refers to. My first thought would be a new game or a new character (And/or movie, comic book, or show involving the character), and how each of those would "work" would be basically to entertain people who watched, played, or read about them...

    A few new quizzes I made via playbuzz.com

    Hi everyone. I just thought this was a good place to show off some of the new quizzes I made via playbuzz.com Here's the most recent one, involving characters I described on the "artists wanted" page. If you play it, I'd appreciate hearing or reading which character you turn out to be. Which...

    One thing that really burns me up.

    There's something that's been on my mind for some time now, but I didn't know exactly how to talk about it. I've been trying to think of how I can express my frustration without offending anyone on a subject that is "touchy" to say the least. Even after days of thinking and carefully wording, I...
