This is actually an entry I wrote on my external blog. I just really like it and haven't been able to put a whole... thing together. And this really is appropriate. I hope it is clear that it isn't aimed to anyone here. Again, it is from an off-site blog I write in off and on- updated and...
so, I guess I don't know what to do at this point.
after talking with the counselor the other day, and her confirming that I do match a lot of the traits of aspergers, but her saying that she wouldn't "put that label" on me because she didn't think I matched enough of them, I was a bit...
My doctor wanted to look at nutrition.
My psychologist thought I needed a prescription.
My psychiatrist wrote the prescription and said take exercise.
My fitness coach's ketone-burning diet put me in the emergency room.
My chiropractor tried to sell me supplements.
My former church’s witch...
No, I'm not kidding.
I haven't written this yet.
But I keep wanting to write it, and if I just think about it and do nothing but say "oh I'm sick I'll do it when I'm done" I'M NOT GOING TO even when i feel better. So now I posted this so I kind of have to have some follow through.
So, crap...
I'm preparing a speech for a class that I'm taking. It's a speech against breed-specific legislation in regards to dogs. When first embarking on the journey of research, I knew that as the owner of an American Pitbull Terrier dog I was biased, and, while I hoped the research would support my...
Over the years I have been asked a similar line of questions a good number of times, things like how were things over there, did you do anything you regret, did anything bad happen etc. Most would consider this a strange line of questions, but for a Soldier coming back from Afghanistan this was...
Eastern philosophies can appear mysterious or unfathomable to the western mind, and beneath many of those philosophies lies an energy that is sorely misunderstood.
The power of Chi (or Qi ~ pron. Chee).
Chi is not confined to the Chinese mindset as it also occurs as Ki (Reiki) in Japan, Prana...
yeah so I think I figured something out a little bit ago. kind of while I was half-dozing. I'm exhausted lately. Everything tears me up.
"Resilience is generally thought of as a "positive adaptation" after a stressful or adverse situation. In other words, resilience is one's ability to bounce...
ISSUE:
State Rep. Rick Brattin from Missouri has proposed a bill regarding SNAP benefits. SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Food Stamps] benefits are benefits in the US which provide assistance to purchase food. To qualify one must provide several proofs, including income, bank...
It of came with little fanfare that my counselor said I fit a lot of the criteria for Aspergers. But that also came in the same sentence with her saying that she wasn't going to formally label me because she hasn't seen enough of the evidence to convince her is had a marked effect on my life...
Sometime last Spring I believe, maybe earlier, I was taking a walk with one of my close friends. I suddenly asked her- in earnest- "Why is it I always seem to incite conflict? It's not my intention."
She thought for a moment and said she didn't see me doing that. That it's not something she...
so, I just found out about the blogs here, and I'm thinking that I should start documenting my journey to trying to find a diagnosis. Whether I come up with an answer of ASD or not, I feel close enough to the community, and sure enough of what my diagnosis could be, that it's pertinent to talk...
Another wrestling-with-the-angels post, from an "aspiscopalian." My opinions represent myself only and express my experiences only.
I went to church this morning because I had a reading. Otherwise, I think I would not have gone.
Reading a lesson at one of the high holidays isn't an accidental...
If I could categorize these posts, this one would have Spirituality or Soulwork as its tag. I can't stop talking about this week's choir story. I just can't find any relief except from looping, and looping is burning it into my throat, closing it.
A long time ago, when I was in my twenties, I...
Life sometimes is confusing. For a variety of reasons, but rarely for the following I’m about to write about. I suppose a little notion of “this might be emotional to some” comes in effect here. (And, a little bit of swearing)
A precedence which seems to be relevant in this; It’s not that weird...
Previously: Energy Webs introduced my uneasiness about what makes a photograph rise to the status of fine art: it's not just a mastery of technique. I can make technically perfect pictures that bore me. What else gets in there? And what got to me on this trip?
"All houses in which men have...
I had to yell at one of my doctors yesterday.
To give a head's up: This is about way more than girly hormone stuff, so you might want to stick around if it would otherwise weird you out.
I started a new birth control recently. I had been on a hormonal shot for a long time- part of this is for...
The things my psyche wants me to articulate now are finally getting words hung on them. (For more on why you know what you want to say but can't say it, look at wikipedia entry on expressive aphasia. My apologies to cognitive scientists who already know this stuff. You may also enjoy Brent's...
Inspired by recent events in my life, here and elsewhere, and catalyzed by a presentation on ancient wisdom and respect for nature. Unfortunately, the piece is so short--less than 5 minutes--that I didn't get as much as I wanted.
The story opens with a man who concealed himself to take...
I had an exchange with someone once on how aggravating it is to find NT "issues" for why aspies don't behave like NTs. I bit my lip and accepted it when the mod explained (with patience, and I appreciated it) that NTs come to the board to understand, and that it's good to try to help them...
