    Curious if anyone else experiences this?

    I can't say I've ever felt grief; or if I have, what it feels like. I've never lost anyone really close to me, nor have I ever had to sever any relationship that I regretted later. If other people are grieving (or what I assume to be grieving), I usually leave them alone. If they want to talk...

    Do You Hide Your Intelligence When You Meet "Normal" People?

    I never hide it because if they spout a fact that is completely wrong (umm... someone said that polar bears couldn't swim to me this week) I feel that it is necessary to correct their ignorance, because ignorance is always the precursor to servitude, and, as a patriot, I find it my duty to...

    The World Is Not What I Expected

    Sorry, Indiana.

    What are your stims?

    My arms are constantly moving, whether I'm typing on a keyboard, playing with my hair, or tapping on my leg. I also tap my heel.

    The World Is Not What I Expected

    I understand as well. When I was in band, not only did I have a thorough understanding of my instrument (bass clarinet), but I could also play every other instrument on a professional level, except percussion. Then I turned sixteen I was incarcerated, and will be on parole 'till I'm 31. My dream...

    What Are Your Fears (Big & Small)

    I have PTSD, so I'm scared about a lot of things: needles, tight spaces, etc... And it doesn't help that my fight-flight reaction is more of a fight-fight reaction. I can't wear any kind of tie. I had an argument with my choir teacher in high school because I would not wear a bow tie on my tux...

    How Do You Deal with Judgmental People Who Don't Understand?

    People seem to assume that I'm some type of Clint Eastwood-type bada**, and many seem to think that I have no emotions, when that is very much NOT the case. Because of me 'violent' (note the quotes) history people also assume that I either have poor self-esteem or that I am overly assertive...

    The dreadful, annoying, "how are you?"

    When everyday speech gets mundane, take advise from my grandpa: spice it up. How's it hangin'? Wha's good? How you been? What's up? What's goin' down? and the replies: Peachy Supertabulous Horrible: all this money pilin' up on me and nothing to spend it on. It'd be better if I wasn't here...

    An email I just got and thought Aspies would appreciate

    An insulation office... On fire. Maybe they didn't insulate the wiring well enough? I would have never have never figured out that it meant they were busy. I suppose I'm too literal.

    Aspergers and Violence (an alternative thread).

    Personally, I've been known to be quite violent; however, i grew up in the most violent state school in Texas. I once took a third of a guy's testicle for waking me up. Another kid woke me up, and then he woke up a half-hour later. However, with the exception of my immediate reaction of being...

    Got issues passing up broken electronics that have been thrown outside?

    I used to pick up everything I found on the street, if it looked even relatively useful. After several years of 'don't do that,' I've quit my habit; however, until last week I had an old '90's typewriter that I was planning on fixing. I got rid of it because my grandma was making a big deal out...

    Aspies and good hearing ?

    My issue is probably genetic, but unless i can see someone's mouth AND hear the words, I can't understand them. I need my glasses to hear.

    Have you been estranged / disowned by your family?

    I see my dad maybe twice a year because my step-mom thinks I'm a bad influence on her kids. It's not exactly what I would like, but he chose that family over me. I still love him, but he's chosen to be elsewhere and I'll respect that, even if it makes me angry at times.

    First Post

    I had no idea there was a blog page. I've been on this website for nearly 3 months and I had no idea there was this thing. I suppose I might as well do something with it, then. This blog will most likely not be updated regularly, since my internet access is limited (I can only be on it while...
