    Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

    In 2009 I was involved in a motorcycle accident.I lost memory for about 2 days. An elderly ladie pulled in front of me and I got embedded in her fender. I was hoping for another with PTSD to talk with. I was in rehab for about 3 months. But the big thing might be that I have been on painkillers...

    Talking Down to People

    Thanks for the help.... I am in agreement with the not disclosing Asperger except that I can use it as a discriminatory behavior if I do tell them? They will then know it and know I have problems with social environments. I recently tried the positive reinforcement technique...I gave an...

    Talking Down to People

    I was recently put in charge of 5 people and have been accused of "talking down to them" Four are making the accusation and the fifth is in agreement with me. My supervisor seems to be with me also. The person that I replaced never watched over us and pretty much left us to our own ways. That...

    Martial Arts for Aspie safety

    Yes, I know a bit about it. I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee because Bruce studied fighting as a philosophy and I liked the way he subjected the Chinese martial arts to a reality check. So much of the styles such as Wing Chun, Mantis, Crane and so forth were a bit "ornate" and as Bruce put it "rigid"...

    Dark Night of the Soul

    I cant really describe it except by its title. It doesn't seem to rely on cause and condition. If you see the depression commercials on TV its not a little cloud following you around...its a mushroom cloud. For me it has energy but I cant seem to do anything constructive with this energy. It...

    What are your current obsessions?

    Hopefully I am posting correctly...Some of my obsessions are Buddhism which is a survival tool for me. Another is useful for my line of work...door knob shaking. I go thru a lot of doors and unless I shake the door it isn't locked. I will go up 3 floors to double check the door if I didn't...
