    @plushy That has a multi faceted answer. Though the long and short of it is that I've, in one way or another, embraced the darkness. Just not...

    Do not feed into the lies of the mind. No one and nothing can stop you from trying, other than yourself. I draw on occasion. You'll see my profile...

Two millennia ago, so the story goes, a Roman official asked a prisoner who stood before him, "What is truth?" But the prisoner did not reply although up to that point he had been talking quite a bit about truth. The story does not give any explanation for the prisoner's silence at this...

I was pleased to read this interview with Henry and Kamila Markram, originators of the Intense World Theory of autism. I find that their conception of autism reflects my experience quite well. The next time someone asks me what autism and Asperger's is all about, I'm going to point them to...

Sometimes I wonder what planet motivational speakers live on. The other day we had one come to my workplace to discuss stress and burnout. This is at our busiest time of year, when we are burdened with complicated, time-consuming projects that pop up at the last moment and have to be done...
Joining this group, reading other's posts, identifying with them plus writing my own posts has brought me closer to understanding my own autism and myself. I hope this website can do the same for everyone else here. Thank you AC members, moderators and Administrators. :bounce:

I have started composing a flyer that I am going to carry around with me in my purse so that the next time I am ambushed (especially in a sticky situation) about finding a home for a cat, I can hand it to them. I don't intend to distribute it to the general public, only to those people who come...

Thank you all for your patience, kindness and trying to teach me in a gentle way. Especially when I have vented about a lack of contact with my son and my ex-wife. You all gently have allowed me to vent. Many times on various threads I think "no way man, I'm right, you are wrong." Then...

A few days ago had a pain in the foot. Waking up one morning the pain was so bad I took a pain killer which didn't work. Then I took 4 advils which worked somewhat. I'm surprised as I haven't had an attack of Gout in years. By the 2nd day of taking 4 advil a few times a day, using ice &...
Once again, I have been asked about finding a home for a cat. This time it was "I rescued this kitten from a man who was going to kill it, but I can't keep it due to whatever, so could you take it in for a while?" Arrgh! I do not know why people seem to think that I am the go-to person for...

Good day to all. I suddenly disappeared from this site several months ago - but I think that a good communication with understanding people would be useful to me. For the last months there was several changes in my life: 1. I started to participate in a psychotherapeutic group - for...
What does one say about Nelson Mandela that doesn't come across as sounding like a cliché, or that hasn't already been said a thousand times or more? The man was a great man. A giant. Yes, probably as time goes by there will be those who will step forward and tell the world about his flaws...

Recently four young people lost their lives in separate accidents. One of them was someone I knew. The sad thing is that none of these people had to die when they did. Their deaths were 100% preventable. Yet, it is considered bad manners to bring this up. One of the four died when he...

First, Nelson Mandela's death, though sad, made me think about life and about what he'd represented, etc. Couldn't stay so grumpy. Second, (and now my materialist side emerges), I was cleared to get hosting for word press and a domain (obviously.) Just waiting to think of a decent name and...

I brought it on myself. I stubbornly stayed up all night, barely moved from the one position and am now achy, irritable, sleep deprived and may have a small meltdown at some point today. I don't even have access to my usual films/player/tv etc so I can do my typical chilling-via-escapism. And...

I just want to hug a woman...smell her hair, have her head on my chest or vice versa. Just to feel her heart beating or to comfort her. Zeus! Hera! Hear me now...perhaps I'll form a free Cuddle company... cuddle for 1 hour, no sex. That is my dream, that is my wish. Have you...
