Since it was Autism Awareness Week, at school on Friday, I thought to spread some awareness! :D So, while my class was at dance, I took a whiteboard marker and wrote 'Autism awareness week' on the classroom whiteboard. So when my class came back from dancing, one person asked "what is autism?"...

About a month ago, I met a pretty amazing man. His name is Greg Baugues. He's a developer evangelist for Twilio (a company that provides developers the ability to make phone calls and send text messages from their applications). He has ADD and Type II Bipolar, and he speaks regularly about his...

So a few years ago I made appointments about my aspergers and how I was doing at school with a hospital. So what the people at the hospital did was they would talk about my asperger's with my parents and then I later went into a room with a whole bunch of toys and art stuff and they watched as...

Something on my mind for quite a while now and I’ve been wanting to talk about this in my blog for a few months already (though I just kept postponing sitting down for it); As some of you know I tend to ramble a bit about AS and employment. It tends to be a bit of a sore spot for me. I’ve had...

So a few years ago, in my first day of high school, my mum had told the form teacher about my asperger's and how I have trouble talking at school. The form teacher later told the class that I have a disease that affects my voice box which means I can never talk. I was pretty mad when I heard...
I finally went ahead and made that post on the MBTI forum. As expected, my post was misunderstood and nasty things were attributed to me. I am truly a fool. This always happens, yet I always go back and try to participate on non-ASD forums. I have developed a very specific anxiety over this...
This morning someone at church asked me if I had lived in the area all my life and I said, yes, as matter of fact, I grew up on the other side of the expressway from this church. I said that not only did I remember when People's Church was built, I remembered when there was "nothing" west of...

As I mentioned previously, I am in a new play. This one has a lot of kids, and kids, as everyone knows, are wiggly and won't stay still long. But there is one little boy who is so beyond ADHD he makes everyone else look like they are on Prozac. He has some kind of syndrome; I overheard his...

I've been absent for a while because I am working on a new play, "The Music Man". It's about a traveling salesman who tries to persuade gullible people that what their town needs is a boys' band. They pay their money, and by the time the instruments and uniforms arrive, he is long gone. Until...

Relationships have come to seem cheap to me. First of all, whether or not any given person meets someone compatible is largely a matter of chance. As I decide on which characteristics are most important to me (mostly having to do with shared morals), I see that not many people have those...

A short walk away from my present home stands a house that has a very colorful history and ties to the United Mine Workers union. My small section of the town was a mine owned property of rental units that included a company store and various other support businesses. The houses were made from...

Hi everyone :) I'm sure a few of you have noticed my posts becoming less frequent lately, so I thought that perhaps it would be good to share what I have been preoccupied with these past few weeks. Just a fair warning; this post is probably a bit more self-indulgent than my usual ones, but here...

Last Sunday we honored the congregation's high school graduates. From beginning to end the service was planned and run by the young people. This year they chose to put on a play based on a Chinese folk tale about a farmer whose luck alternated between good and bad. We, the townspeople, took...

For years I've often paced up and down during school lunch breaks. The thing that's funny is that I didn't know when I was pacing up and down. I would start daydreaming, and then my body went on autopilot, basically. Another thing I find, when a good song comes on, is that I tend to hop up...

Years ago, I went to school with what we called a sidewalk commando, biker gear, chain drive wallet and Harley everything, except the bike. In an attempt to fit in, he made ceramic beer mugs for the "club", one of them fired with the commandant's name "Hog Daddy" on it. He got his ass kicked...
