    The movie of our lives

    There's several situations that worry me at the moment, but a few seconds ago, I got swept by "my" locker at the pool where I come to swim everyday. It looked beautiful, simple and colored coordinated. It could become an original picture of these times, not just mine, but everybody's. Like those...

    I need to love again

    Today, May 10th, is Mother’s Day in México, there’s no school, and it’s a national holiday for many, except for restaurants. The ex didn’t take the kids to buy me a present and I resent him for that. He didn’t do it for my birthday either… after 18 years of me always doing something for him to...

    Allowing myself to feel sadness

    I was a bad mom last night and this morning. My fuse was very short and I got exasperated at the most menial things. They’re kids, for crying out loud, what’s wrong with me? I know what’s wrong. I saw the ex yesterday, after weeks of not seeing him, and he didn’t even turn the his head to...

    « We grew up not knowing we were autistic »

    Hey, look what I found today in BBC news today... « Some women with autism aren't diagnosed until adulthood - if ever. Here, a group of autistic women open up about their experiences”. We grew up not knowing we were autistic

    The introverted decided to talk to a stranger

    ‘I’m going to talk to him. Yes. I can do this, I can do this’. I swim everyday but I usually don’t talk to anybody when I go. Actually, that’s one of the blessings of swimming, no spontaneous chitchat that might bring me down from the clouds. The thing is: I like my clouds. They are nice and...

    Little Red Riding Hood no more

    I.. connect… the… dots…late… but I do. I found the “mystery” of why my ex husband didn’t want a wedding ring. For you, my dear reader, it might be obvious: because he doesn’t want women to know he’s married, right? But not for me. I can have something in front of me and still not be able to...

    Changing how a man looks good on my paper

    I now have a map with all the places with hidden mines that I have to avoid in my love life. These mines are charming, exciting, intelligent men, that had unloving mothers. I also have in my map a destination: a man with his feet on Earth, capable of love, (since he received lots of it when he...

    Good bye my Peter Pan, with love, your Mary Poppins

    As I promised, I am not trying to make you come back to me. You flew, and I just want to say good bye from the distance. First of all, I want to say thank you. Only you and I know how much you saved me, how much you changed my life: there is a before you, and an after you. You were my Peter...

    The men of my dreams

    I remember, a couple of weeks ago, that we both had a good day. That was not the norm, you being without a job, me, recently separated from my husband. The following day you told me you had had a very vivid dream. You were in a building, which collapsed, and you were standing there, unscathed...

    A letter to you, my love

    I dreamed that I was in an apartment, in a building with glass walls, making breakfast for my kids. Suddenly someone calls me on the phone (I was wearing my Iphone’s headphones) and it was you. I get excited, happy, and move away from the kitchen, so no one can hear me. You talked to me, so...

    Relationships with men with bad mothers

    I’ve had a variety of relationships: -The teenage boyfriend -The husband -The virtual man-friend. They are incredibly smart, handsome, kind and exciting. But they all had an awful relationship with their mothers while growing up. I feel like they are all the same guy, and that I have to stop...

    Feeling ugly

    I’m very emotional. I separated from the person that was my couple for 18 years (married for fifteen years). I connected the dots of what was going on this week. I was disappointed. All these years looking for a reason. Elaborating the most complicated theories. And the answer is so vulgar, so...

    Learning at dinner time

    My eight-year-old son wants to know about the creation of everything, so I’m searching the web to find cool videos to share with him. He usually spends a lot of time in his own video games, he also has swimming classes, and spends time doing homework. And last, but not least, he has seven hours...

    For Aspie Women! "10 Traits of Female Aspies" Video

    Hello ladies :-) I am posting a video I am currently watching - I think sharing the video could be a very helpful way to let others understand us better - it is also helpful to me in having those, "yes, that's me" moments!

    Info Junkie

    My seven-year-old son laughs every time he learns, or understands, something new. He recently asked me, how people with disabilities manage to do stuff. I explained that everyday tasks are harder to accomplish, but that they learn to do things in a different way. Then, I showed him a video of...

    Filling up your world

    You don’t know your life is filled up with elephants, but it is, believe me. Pay attention today, and see how many elephants you can find. I had this epiphany when my daughter was an elephant-obsessed-two-year old. She thought that elephants were called ‘circles’ because I once told her ‘that’s...

    I have the most important job in the world

    I read a simple question in a thread here in AspiesCentral: ‘Do you love yourself?’ ‘What kind of question is that? Of course I do’, was my immediate thought. Unfortunately, most people answered either ‘no’ or ‘yes except’. I was appalled. I haven’t always had the best self-esteem. Just this...

    My kids' minds

    I read somewhere that we are all artists when we are kids (until someone says a negative critic against our art work). Likewise, we are all philosophers when we are kids… or maybe I’m wrong, and I just used to be a kid philosopher, and my two children turned out to be even better kid...
