    Going randomly non verbal

    OK so, at school today during my first period I went extremely non verbal, and haven't been able to talk. I don't know what happened, but I just started to silently break down and I realized that I couldn't physically bring myself to talk. I've said a total of like 15 words since classes...

    Did Any of You Have Friends When You Were A Kid?

    It seems like what it meant to have friends when we were kids was different than what it means to have friends as an adult. For all of you who are completely friendless (like me), did you have any friends at all when you were a kid? Or is one kicked out of the ASD club if it's discovered that...

    Disassociation and reality

    Hi everyone, have you ever tried to zone out of a dissociative state and felt confused or overwhelmed or even scared Have you ever not want to come out of that state and stay in your own ideas and imagination. Or even get locked in the past and daydreaming about it sometimes

    How Do I Know What I Believe?

    I have spent the last thirty years devoting incredible amounts of time and energy to what I have recently come to understand as my main special interest: religion and comparative theology. However, my interest has been only partially academic; the bulk of my interest has been what I long...

    I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like

    One of the things I hear most frequently regarding autism is that autists don’t understand metaphors. This really trips me up as I try to evaluate myself for autism, because I think that I understand metaphors just fine. I think that perhaps I don’t get it: isn’t it true that metaphors cannot...

    The Old and Wrong Theory

    My fiance and I watched this informative video last night about autism and vaccines (coincidentally) after getting our booster shots. I guess you could say that I got upgraded? While I'd known before of the scare that autism is caused by vaccines, I didn't know the extent of it. The video is...

    New Obsession: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in C Minor

    Not just the first movement, which is more famous than the others. The whole thing. I don't know why I go through phases where I seek something harmonically 'out there' like Beethoven tends to do, but here we are. The other night while I was busy attempting to be mindless I recollected that...

    Music over the 'Autism' theme

    You know me; obsessed with counterpoint! I came up with this theme on day in church. 'Solfege' is how we refer to the names of notes, and its history is long and complex and not very well known to me. Granted, I sort of fudge the rules by using 'a' and 'ut' but the principle still stands...

    My accommodations at work FINALLY got approved!

    I can now wear a pin which displays my selective mutism :) Also, my managers have been super understanding and accommodating for what tasks I know I can do, and understanding of my abilities and limitations. I was worried because I'd heard this particular location wasn't the kindest towards...
