I've been reading about those women who were kept prisoner for 10 years in Cleveland. What a disturbing and scary story! To think that something like this could be going on next door and in all that time nobody questioned, nobody followed up on their gut feelings?
I've never been through...
If there were no bad in the world, then what virtue would there be in doing something good? What consequence would there be for making a poor decision? How do you know that germs are a bad thing? If you were a germ and God did not create a host for you to infect, wouldn't you think he was a bad...
This is what I want. I want to be friends first before I start making out sexually with someone. I want to get to know them first. I want to be with someone and feel safe. I want to take the time to let love and desire grow. And I don't want to have sex until I am ready. Is that too much...
I haven't posted for awhile because I was busy with a play and also I needed to rest my hands. I am having trouble learning to accept the fact that I can't go full-bore 8 hours at work and then come home and fool around on the computer. So every now and then I have to take a "sabbatical" from...
my situation is this, i currently live with my parents, my sister, her partner and their two children in a 3 bedroom house (turned into a four bedroom with me sleeping downstairs) given i hate loud noises the fact that the living room is right next door should give you an idea of the noise level...
Hey there,
Well, I just started an update but because my new work computer (because we have moved locations) is so ****ing crap, I lost my post. I am still waiting for one of the most important tools on my computer to actually start working so I can call a ****ing pain in the neck back to...
So, my first evaluation (both the one for MIs and for autism and ADHD) was made in an unprofessional way, so now I have to redo it. It's good that Inow is in a special "department" where they know about autism and ofc it's good to know what I have and don't have and how my "autism profile"...
Shelving empathy for the time being, let me talk about languages.
I want to learn all of them. ALL of them. I want to be able to read and write and listen to them, in that order. Speaking may or may not be a by-product of understanding.
Focusing primarily on vocabulary, since it is...
Hi my name is Coll and I have been in love and with someone who has Aspergers for 7 years. I have PTSD/Depression/Anxiety so you can imagine how difficult it can be for us to relate to one another. I am also an alcoholic in recovery...I think my partner is also an alcoholic not in recovery...I...
No, I'm not done dissecting this.
I was just reading a few more chapters of Aspergirls, and more or less realised there were two ways to handle the social parts ? that I hadn't seriously considered yet, anyway. I have already tried behaving NT-ish, doing what is expected of me and just being...
"People rarely say what they mean, but they do."
And I envy people who can read non-verbal, those who have body language literacy ? those who pay attention to it, I mean, not those who merely take a lucky guess based on their gut-feeling. I wish I could do what they do. And, I think, there...
While writing this, the publication of the DSM 5 is drawing near. And as a regular on this forum I?ve seen a lot of people being unclear about their condition. Some need a diagnosis and are being told by therapists that Asperger?s Syndrome will disappear and as such don?t need a diagnosis since...
The other night I watched a "comedy" called "Juno", about a pregnant teenager who seeks a couple to adopt her child. At least it was billed as a comedy. But I had a hard time finding things to laugh at in it. Instead, I watched, appalled.
I'm not around teenagers a whole lot so I don't...
How does one feel what another person feels? I feel like I do, but it doesn't make any sense. It's not my nervous system, it is someone else's, and I don't see how their nerves can send signals to my brain.
The answer is quite obviously that they can't; that's me sending signals to my brain...
Some regulars might have picked up on me being stressed out about an assessment I had going on with a psychologist from social services.
I had said appointment today and it was mildly amusing? and then some. Here?s some interesting highlights.
I got there sat down and he was all like ?so...
Earlier this week marked World Autism Awareness Day. The Netherlands took it a step further and marked it ?autismweek?. There were all kinds of events going on related to the spectrum all throughout the country. The company a social worker I keep in touch with works for had such an event running...
