    Mythology, Legends, and Lore oh my!

    I'm interested in 'some' mythology as opposed to fascinated by it, but it has played an important role in my life at various points. When I was a teenager, I read books on Viking and Greek Mythology (to the detriment of school subjects!), I also read Lord of the Rings when I was 14, enjoying...

    NT in love with ASD guy

    I've been with my wonderful NT wife for around 7 years now, and she has had to make innumerable amounts of sacrifices for me. I've asked her many times why she bothers with me, and I still don't entirely understand, but it would seem that I give her things that nobody else can, and this is...

    Cancelled T.V. shows that screwed the fans over the worse ?

    Freaks and Geeks, and Carnivale. I still can't believe either of them didn't make it big. I think Freaks and Geeks might have been too real for some, but Carnivale had so much potential. Oh well, let's shake some dust!

    New Zealand Asperger's Boy Ballet Dancer

    I can't figure out exactly where I should put this link, but I'll try here. I saw this on TV last night here in New Zealand, and am still stunned by this boy! He has to be the happiest looking aspie I've ever seen, and his dedication to his art is inspiring. If for some reason the video can't be...

    Current book(s) you're reading?

    I'm presently reading two books, Phallos: Sacred Image of the Masculine by Eugene Monick, and Deliver Us from Evil by J.W. Sawyer. The former is written by a Jungian Analyst and discusses the the importance of the integration of the phallos archetype into the lives of men, for their well being...

    Vanilla Oops! Oh well, hopefully he won't mind, I used to have long hair and some people thought I was a girl :D. Tiger is very cute, I love cats, they always cheer me up (or calm me down) whenever I see one.

    Very relaxing to look at! That's a female ginger, isn't it?

    Intro from a tired Momma

    Hello there, welcome to Aspiescentral! I'm sorry to hear that you're so worn out :( From what you've written, it does seem very likely that they are indeed both on the spectrum. Does their father share any similar characteristics? There is quite a strong genetic link to autism. In terms of...

    Do your sensory issues fluctuate in intensity?

    Sorry to hear about how bad things are for you at the moment! I'm the same, although perhaps not quite at the shaking and intears stage. I just wanted to comment on what you said about it being worse than it used to be. I found the same thing, and what I discovered is that stress dictates the...

    aspie mum, hello all

    Nice to see you, welcome to the club! Sorry to hear you are feeling down, I hope getting a diagnosis helps in some way, it did for me. I know what you mean about sensory assault, it's summer where I live and I have to wear earmuffs and headphones all day to block out all the extra noise as...

    New guy here, mainly to get help.

    What, in your view, is God about?

    It's funny, if I believed everything I read in books about Asperger's Syndrome, I would have expected this thread to be dominated by rampant atheism. When I was 30 I gave myself a real headache trying to prove the existence of God to myself, because I felt that sure that there was one. An...

    Did or does anyone wish the person they did not like, would just die

    Yes, yes, God yes, if thoughts could kill I would currently share the same corner of hell as Stalin:eek:. But that was in the past - before I started to get a handle on my life and when it seemed that every human being was put on earth to annoy me.

    What song are you listening to right now?

    "Angel of Death" by Slayer

    Help me prevent my divorce or worse!

    Exactly! Perfectly put :). And I don't mean to belittle these things or suggest they aren't relevant, they just rate much higher on an NT's 'importance' scale. All of the complex ins and outs related to socialising and being part of the group, biological family included, complicated further by...
