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...
Living based on neuronal firing. That's what I like to think at least. Neural control in the end influences everything about the body. It can be argued that signalling is controlled by neural and hormonal elements, and this is definitely fair, but without the neural elements (the hypothalamus...
Previously: if a person is a person through other people, what happens when a person is substantially different from other people? How different can you be, and still be human? What is it I see that determines whether I greet you, flee you, or kill you?
EDIT: Related to The Social Model and...
OK, I admit that possession is not 9/10ths of the law, and before you all go running off to find an exorcist I can safely say that I'm not talking about that kind of possession either.
Within taoism, and especially acupuncture, there is another meaning to the term 'being possessed' and that is...
A week ago my mom told me that I was an accident, yes as you read an "accident", I was been thinking this since I was 12 year old; that I was the second biggest mistake of my mom and so for that the less loved one, gotta say, and also last year I was having a discussion with my brother, the...
I've been having greatly increased OCD symptoms lately. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing because with OCD, you are aware- completely- that what you are doing doesn't make sense. You are aware that the things causing you fear are not logical, not rational, have no place in reality.
On the...
A break from my usual scope, prompted by a question from a friend.
Liturgy B. Woodblock print. Matsubara Naoko, 1995.
Ubuntu/Hunhu philosophy, distilled to its essence by Michael Onyebuchi Eze: "A person is a person through other people." The term ‘ ubuntu' is from south African languages...
It's hard for me to understand why losses that other people seem to take in stride weigh upon me. A simple change feels funerary. Several at once from all sides is like walking the Inferno without Dante. It's worse if even the Hanging Judge (my severest internal critic, a source of unending...
Smoking!
---
I sent a letter to my one roommate who has been smoking in the apartment. I CC'd my other roommate, my mother and my father. I am not really communicating with my father right now but he is a landlord and the smoking roommate is aware of this and has also met both of my parents and...
I turn into the wind, touching the book of poems in my pocket for comfort.
I will be blogging, but limiting other AC activity for a bit.
One of the principle tenets in taoism is that of the duality of all things, often portrayed as the Yin and Yang symbol. Yes, we all know the symbol here in the west, there's a version of it right above this paragraph. Ask the average person what it means and they will tell you it's about...
Over the last few months I’ve been seeing a therapist. Mostly over future prospects and issues thereof and less for “personal” matters.
I’m not depressed beyond what I can’t manage; I don’t “suffer” from my AS in my direct personal life. It’s actually all revolving around the horse I’ve been...
There are times when I want to add a more taoist slant to what I have to say on the forums, this I usually temper because it may offend some people or because, as a moderator here, it may look like I am taking advantage of that position. Hence my decision to utilise my blog space here on AC...
Personal note: This story is about how I recognize some of myself in sacred literature I read today, in the Episcopal tradition’s interpretation. Blessed are they that take no offense at me.
Opening Numbers
I read Numbers 2:1-10 today aloud at church, and found myself in it. This story is about...

I have come to terms with how odd I can be, I like my disorganization, my collections of random stuff that I've been obssesed with over the years, I can deal with my lack of interest in society, the trouble I have with focusing in school. Joining...
So here's a story of something that happened back when I was in primary school. I laugh about it now, but at the time it was so frustrating that something like that could have happened over a pair of scissors.
So I used to have this compulsion of feeling things, rubbing them against my skin and...
Sometime this morning. I had to make a conscious decision to change my frame of mind regarding a situation and how someone is behaving, how that behavior affects me.
Basically, I was regarding the situation as a whole as something that needed to be dealt with, like no one specific is...
I returned from my 60-minute interview with strangers for a job I really want. I prepared for it like this:
I printed out my samples based on the first interview.
Old behavior: I take everything I need to make a complete story from a recent relevant experience. Every detail. My brief is 2...
I know I'm straying away from the topic of Asperger's and Autism, but I wanted to know if anyone has these disorders and how you guys deal with them? I deal with mine by meditating or praying each day for at least 10 minutes. Throughout the day, I do go through anxiety and stress so I work out...
To be completely honest- I don't want to do this anymore. The only medication I am on right now that addresses my pain in any way is an anti-inflammatory. I am at the maximum dosage. This puts me at a level of functioning where if I go out with my mother for a couple of hours to have lunch and...
