    What goes through the mind of a child abuser?

    I constantly wonder what kind of person can abuse a child. Are people that abuse children sick in the head? Many abusers use the excuse that they too were abused and they think that is a reason to abuse someone else. A child born with autism experiences meltdowns. We have no control over...

    NELSON POLAR BEAR SWIM 2014

    So if there are any Aspies that really want o do something different this January the first, try the polar bear swim. This was taken in 2014 and the water was just above freezing. I stood out in it for about fifteen minutes waiting for the perfect shot.

    Getting Over Loss

    People that have Asperger's Syndrome have a hard time relating to people who die. Because we don't tend to get close to other humans like we do to animals, it is hard for us to feel the emotions that others feel when someone dies. I have had the opportunity to take care of zoo animals. I am...

    Getting Over Loss

    My advice is to get another one as soon as possible. Your pet seemed to be a support guinea pig and you need another one to keep going. Animals die. They don't live as long as people. Fortunately for you, guinea pigs are rather inexpensive. Get one and love it just like you loved the one...

    Rolf

    When I live in Mexico, I was very lonely. I had a hard time making friends. I volunteered at a dog rescue facility and Rolf was there. Rolf was a big dog with an attitude. Many people couldn't handle him. He was my best friend.

    Have you ever stolen anything?

    Everyone has stolen something in their lifetime. Whether it is something material like money or a product, or it is an idea from someone else, stealing is just part of human nature. As a child, did you ever take a toy from another kid because you wanted it. In school, did you ever steal a...

    Families?

    Did anyone grow up in a family that loved them and didn't abuse them? When I was young, like all people with Asperger's, I use to explode. My father and mother's solution was to physically abuse me. I know there has to be families out there that have treated their children differently, but...

    What Did You Do for Halloween?

    I dress up everyday of the year as if it were Halloween. You see, on top of having Asperger's, I also have transgender. So I am female but I look like a male. People see me as a male and it is often funny when they tell you dirty jokes about females when they are thinking you are just another...

    I'm always going to be on my own

    All I can say is to keep your eyes open. Sometimes things do work out. I am 62 now and had two short romances. I have been on my own for all my life. I never learned how to make friends and it wasn't until I was 25 that I ever felt any love. My family never showed any for me. You can live...

    Are you bullied? How do you deal with it?

    First of all, ignore them. They are doing this because they have low self-esteem. When I was in high school, people use to say things to me to. I was challenged to fights but just walked away. After a while, no one bothered me. You see, if these creeps know they can get a reaction out of...

    FAMILY?

    How many people who have Asperger's have family that don't care about them. When I was in my thirties and forties, I was homeless many times. My parents and brothers never lifted a finger to help me. Now I am in my early sixties and my parents are dead. Even now, my brothers never call me to...
