So, now that I got the referral from my PCP, I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere.
I couldn't get in to see a neuropsychologist like had been in the original intent. I guess my insurance doesn't pay for that. But, I did get in to see a clinical psychologist.
I really didn't think it would...
This is an expansion of my post on why I signed the Petition Against Autism Speaks, which anthoskate published this morning in the General Autism Spectrum Discussions>General Autism Discussion. As usual, my first effort always benefits from editing; there was more I could have done, and much I...
Procrustes was an innkeeper who adjusted his guests to their bed. Procrustes, whose name means "he who stretches," offered hospitality to travelers with a unique value proposition: a bed that exactly matched whoever lay down upon it. When the guest lay down, Procrustes racked the traveler if he...
After yesterday’s blog I posted about choices I had a sudden moment of clarity. I have these moments from time to time… out of nothing. One thought becomes the next… and I had it when reading a comicbook; one, I didn’t like (which is why I stopped reading it and writing here). So maybe what set...
NB: Might be having an episode or maybe too cowardice to pin what I am about to say to my chest.
A dross open letter to those who have 'made it' (even though they seem to be ignorant of that fact).
To all of you Functional Aspiez:
Dear FuAs's! I am delighted (neigh, covetous) for your current...
Looking at Wrong Planet's narrative and numbers, and King_Oni's recent posts, I wonder if the ability to define myself not by issues and others, but by interests and loves, is what would make the difference between repelling and attracting positive things in life.
How do I turn my engine into a...
After a bit of a back and forth with my careercoach and therapist I've come to the point where they think I cannot make choices. Perhaps they're right.
Here's the thing though; I can easily tell what I don't want (which IMO is a choice as well). It just takes a bit longer to eliminate...
The more I think about it, the more I notice it. The world is based upon too many assumptions. And granted, it has worked fine for most part. Perhaps it’s partially because I’m an aspie that I’m being confronted with the fact that either I, nor others with whom I (have to) interact shouldn’t...
To be a rabbit with wise eyes requires anxiety, experience, fecundity, and the ability to find a fourth way: one that is not fight, flight, or freeze. This little essay plays with the mechanics of anxiety, using Lisa Olstein's poem ("Rabbit with Wise Eyes" from Little Stranger) and Philip...

Last year September, or thereabouts, there was a black rat in my place. At the time, i didn't know about my asperger's. but the extra sensory situation rendered me a nervous wreck.
If a see an ant; I will itch all over from the mere awareness of there being a little critter around. I generally...
Previously: one loose end in my head got teased out, and like a pull on a knit sweater, I'm unraveling a bit. Don't hold me to any kind of standard on this post...it's experimental writing.
I connect to joy when I can run with my own mind.
If social psychology is right, we make everything up...
Previously: the Deathcake Series (have you made Deathcake?) modelled the process of how a trigger causes a cascade into crushing depression. I learned how panic actually has a calming effect on a part of my nature. But it couldn't tell me why I keep crashing and burning. It took the cumulative...
Mom thinks she’s the perfect parent. In many ways she is indeed a great parent, we are all very well cared for physically. Mom has always had rule that we have to be involved in at least one out of the home hobby or activity growing up, as well. If i want advice on babysitting bubba, she’s...
I wish i could learn to put on a personality. If i had a daughter personality, a cashier personality, a babysitter personality, and a student personality i’d be all set. A face for every role. Because a role isn’t me it could be updated and revised and tweaked as needed, perfected, so that the...
Can enough small histories help me make better decisions about what, and how, to prune the growths in my life that don't make me happy? Am I reasonably certain that I can tell a growth that's bad from a growth that's good?
Things I have to make a decision about include choir, church (the...
Well its monday, I broke my mouse slamming it onto the desk several times when my laptop wouldn't work right, threw the broken mouse into the wall twice and broke it even more, and am now moping to one of the few sad songs on my itunes playlist...that'd be about how my day is going. At least the...
The noise oh the noise.
I may be mentally impaired.
Pills to float on the surface of sanity.
People I knew in high school moving fluidly through life.
Perplexed at how so many autistic folk move, as NT's, with much fluidity.
Enter autistic space and feel like an outsider. Maybe wires...
With some midday luck I turn on the cassette player and skip three times to one of my favorite bands; explosions in the sky.
I read up on the different types of clouds last night and it got me thinking; there's a blog here and i should put the sentence about how i read about cloud types on it...
I really hate how hatred for "pit bull" type dogs runs so deep that...
When a dog that's not a pit bull attacks and injures someone, the online conversation is still about pit bulls.
I was reading comments in regards to a chow-lab mix that stalked and attacked a little boy like he was a rabbit...
