    HAPPY BIRTHDAY...EVERYBODY

    Thanks Everyone!! It was my 39th. I spend 2 days celebrating because my better half turned 38 the day after. She’s on the Spectrum too.

    Anyone a girl who was diagnosed in childhood?

    My better half, she was diagnosed in November 1989 at the age of 2 in South Florida. Same time I was but I’m a year older, almost to the day. She turned 38 this coming Friday and I turn 39 on Thursday. She has Level 2 Autism and I have Level 1. We’ve been together over 14 years. I’m the one who...

    Don’t hold back.

    Pictures attached below. Sometimes when you see things taking place, it’s time to grab the tools for it and handle business. Luckily the family of 5 bailed out and I was able to stave off the Fire long enough for them to get away and for me to check the Car for anyone additional. Whole front...

    My Mom dropped a bombshell on me.

    We got our challenges. She and my sister having spoken in 5 years which I’m not at all cool with but it’s not my call. My Sister is the one who needs to do a bit of soul searching and realize a few things.

    My Mom dropped a bombshell on me.

    No worries at all. I used to be exactly like that too, so I fully understand.

    My Mom dropped a bombshell on me.

    Not the case in this one. Honestly I agree with my Mom on this one. Her Mom got a laugh out of it like I did.

    My Mom dropped a bombshell on me.

    My Mom turned 61 just 3 weeks ago. We went to one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants on the planet out there in Northern California where she and my Aunt Sharon live. They’re twins but not identical. I have my Lady with me who has Autism like I do. My family absolutely loves her, and for good...

    Autism and Anxiety/PTSD.

    I did a lot of reading up on Autism’s relationship with Anxiety and maybe even Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/PTSD. Something like 50% of people with Autism also have some level of Anxiety Issues, but it’s believed to be much higher due to those undiagnosed with Anxiety like myself. I have a...

    Insane Memory and stories to match.

    When I was in Las Vegas, we had lots of things happen. This was during my Day Job as an Asset Protection Investigations Specialist that traveled a bit. I was based in Las Vegas for this Job but traveled the country. When home, I’d help Stores do Blitzes where we’d saturate the Sales Floor with...

    Insane Memory and stories to match.

    One thing with us that’s extremely common is having an excellent memory. I’ve mentioned before that I’m former Volunteer Search & Rescue having done 7 years and have been doing Security in varying roles almost 21 years. I get asked all the time if having what I have has made things different...

    The overlooked faces of Autism

    That’s what I fear for my Nephew. My Sister just turned 40 and I’ll be 39 in July. I have a 7 year old Neohew also on the Spectrum but he’s way farther ahead at his age than I was.

    The overlooked faces of Autism

    When you have family like I do, that’s impacted by this to that degree, believe me when I tell you that one would stop at nothing to do whatever they can. I was raised to never leave things to chance and over my dead body will I do so with my Nephew especially.

    The overlooked faces of Autism

    This saddens me. It also angers me. This is the side of Autism nobody talks about, supports, or spreads awareness about. Those of us who are mild or moderate on the Autism Spectrum have a hand in this to an extent, but most of is immediate neighbors, even immediate family. The people impacted...

    Advantages and Disadvantages of having Autism

    I’m in the Security Field myself and my Better Half is also on the Spectrum. Dealing with typical folks is exhausting when they’re usually on drugs and stealing anything not bolted down. Those on the teams I’ve been on, I can relate to them to an extent but that’s because we rely on one another...
