    Without lived experience of living on the Spectrum it can challenge NTs in accepting our perspective of the world. I have noticed when NTs try to empathise they are trying to recognise the spectrum traits within their own behaviour and thinking. When we challenge this they can get defensive and...

    Autism and Buddhism

    Studying Buddhism will be beneficial. Practicing Buddhism will provide you with new perspective and tools for living. Modern Western Buddhism is not the same as the traditional Buddhist sects which emerged from India, Thailand and Tibet. Take the time to learn about each. Japanese Zen Buddhism...

    Fishermans pants and oversize shirts or jumpers in an harmonising palette. Organic textiles like cotton, bamboo and hemp if possible. In winter I love to layer, it feels like a cocoon.

How did Asperger pronounce his own name? Aspie is short and sweet. However, I...
