    @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...

Now that the task force in charge of "medical marijuana" in Michigan has decided not to include autism in the list of prescribable conditions, I suppose some will breathe a sigh of relief and some will be disappointed. But all this controversy has got me thinking. According to the pro-MMJ...
Today I saw on the news that there is a campaign to add autism to the list of conditions that doctors may prescribe medical marijuana for in Michigan, along with insomnia, asthma and PTSD. Frankly I don't think it will get very far. Michigan is far too divided a state for that and they are...

Today I came home to find a tract on the Four Spiritual Laws from the Baptist church down the street hanging on my door. Yup, despite the signs posted at the entrance to the trailer park that say "No Solicitation", the missionaries are at work. It's too bad that I wasn't at home when they...

When I was ten, I discovered Marvel's X-Men by way of the excellent 90s cartoon series, which was new at the time. As I grew older, and especially after I was diagnosed with aspergers at 14, that series was a very useful tool for me as I pondered it's themes and allegories to try and understand...

Yesterday I ran into a family from my old church. They said they hadn't seen me in quite awhile and were astonished to find out that I had left the church. "We figured that you were busy with the plays, and that's why we hadn't seen you. But then we went to the last production and you weren't...

I have a gentleman friend. His name is Charles. No, we do not date or go out or anything like that. He is about 30 years older than me and is in a wheelchair and has macular degeneration, so his world is now very limited. But it was not always like that and that is why he is my gentleman...
I have a friend who is very heavily into the New Age movement; in my mind, too much so. It bothers me because I know the dangers of uncritically accepting anything that comes your way especially when it comes to religion, and she does not have the critical thinking skills nor the education to...

"Change" has been the theme of the summer services at People's Church ever since the minister announced she was leaving to take a new post. It's ironic because that is what has been happening in my life as well. I should be quite used to it by now since change seems to be a buzzword where I...

Yes, that was a Big Lebowski reference. Anyway; Earlier this week the national mail service in my country came out with a statement regarding a situation that occurred. The situation; a 26-year old newly hired postman (woman actually, but gender isn?t relevant here) decided to burn all...

You know. "It". That thing. The abstract idea. The Full Set. The ability to be understanding and social just like all the rest. "It" The thing that makes you able to have friends. And the ability to make them. The abilty to think beyond laterally. It. ****ing hell. Doesn't...

:balanced:Today I competed in a Tae Kwon Do tournament. I placed 1st in sparring, and 2nd in forms. :) It is the first time I have placed first in competition. I had to leave the gym several times due to over stimulation, but all in all a good day.:ninja:
I've been away for awhile due to computer problems (hopefully now resolved). Meanwhile I've been busy. The other night I went to a forum about fracking. It was a real eye-opener but not in the way its organizers intended. I ended up walking out a quarter of the way through in disgust and...

I wish I could warn all the other mums about how badly she is going to run things and that really they need to try and get in with a decent agent, some of the kids are so talented and could do really well but not with her as their agent, she has no idea what she's doing! Here's an example of...

Right this is the story of the stage school and why I hate the principal so much. As you probably all know Kyoko goes to a local stage school for acting/singing/dance classes, she's also part of their performance troupe. Anyway the principal decided to setup an agency and put the kids forward...

Something I wrote to portray how I feel The dog truly is bound by his canine existence. The dog is bound to chase a stick for he is stuck. As are we, as it turns out. Neither indeed can we help but be, and in that so be carried, precisely in a parabola, stuck as the stick by the air. Its...

Isn't it funny how someone we include in that group can act contrary to the moniker? Or I guess it really applies to those you actually love, not those with whom you're supposed to have a mutually loving relationship.

Sometimes being diagnosed with Asperger's is hard to grasp. I have quick bouts of denial in which I tell myself I don't have it, that I was normal before. I know this is not true and it is my brain responding to the sudden change. Before the diagnosis I never would have imagined that being...
