A very useful insight that has been helping me a lot at my new workplace is the realization that "it's not what I think", or "it's not what I think it's about". When people speak to me, or when I listen to them speaking to each other, realizing that the true purpose of what they are saying and...
I will never be "cool". Never have been. At our church, everyone is friendly. Within that over all friendly community, there are smaller groups of people who gravitate towards each other through commonality. Well, there is one group that's kind of "cool" I guess. They are in no way snobby...
Generator Land: direct address (vocative case) + intermittent appositive + inquiry or assertion
Title: direct address (vocative case) + intermittent appositive + inquiry or assertion
Descriptor: Contains few examples of unconditional positive regard.
Button: click
Background: Bubble because...
This blog used to be called Sarah's Blog but I decided to rename it something else. This blog is now called Blog of Days, and it's a spin on the name of The Psychedelic Furs' sixth album Book Of Days (1989). Even though the name is Psychedelic Furs related, this blog is still not about music...
If you feel moved to help the recent hurricane victims, but do not know where to donate, you might want to consider donating to Lutheran Social Services. They are separate from the Lutheran Church and are very efficient. 100% of your money donated goes to victims. They do not spend any money on...
Generator Land: Bizarre Cuisine Generator

Descriptor: Disgusting, exotic, and bizarre entrees for the world weary carnivore
Button: party on
Background: Burly because the pattern is delicate, as is the word "cuisine"
but the name of the pattern is "burly" (a...
I had a turning point moment last week when I happened upon Howard Stern interviewing Jerry Seinfeld on radio (recorded 9/25/17). Seinfeld is usually reticent to reveal himself in interviews but these are yappy friends and he let his guard down.
At one point Howard asks, "Are you on the...
Maybe my anxiety is also just a result of being disregulated.
I've been reading as much as I can about Aspergers in the workplace, and there's useful info on being disregulated and needing to be more intentional about trying to regulate oneself with smart routines. I used to hate routines in...
I used to try very hard to make my workspace seem like home, to reflect my personality and interests. It was an attempt to create a little safe haven nest at work, to try to escape/block out my surrounding situation (the workplace). It didn't help reduce my work anxiety. It may have made it...
It's not that I mind explaining things that have been asked. But in general, I don't like being boxed. I feel that once people know about my religion, they will not be as open and trusting in approaching me, that they have stereotypes and ideas of their own of how I "must" be, they censor...
Several months ago, I would have told you that any given moment I couldn't tell you what I was feeling. I couldn't access any sense of feeling anything in particular. Over the past 4 days, I have been able to access my feelings - and it's always some form of anxiety. I even wake up with it...
Not the Doctor, but a doctor for sure. Which is to say, I've succesfully made it to the finish line, I am no longer a student, I will be receiving my medical license soon and I've been hired by a local hospital, where I'll be starting my first real job as a doctor pretty soon. My last entries...
I'm so grateful for this site. I don't think I realized the importance of community, of a sense of belonging, until I found my tribe. At work, trying to navigate the NT world, trying to do my best socially, it helps me in a profound way to remember this community here as my tribe, to remember...
When I have been out and about or in the company of other people (other than my husband), my facial muscles feel so tense that my face feels almost like a hard mask. I've only recently realized my face is doing this - and I'm guessing this is why people think I look tense. Yesterday I noticed...
This link is about how Equifax carelessly exposed millions of people's personal data, and was rewarded for this by being given a government contract that would allow them to do even more damage to more people. Even hardend politicians of both parties were shocked by this.
Senators express shock...
Hi, sarah_r92 here.
I created another blog called Sarah's Blog and since my first blog Beautiful Chaos is about music (which I'm really into) this second blog is going to be only about my life in general. I probably won't be writing a lot on here since my main main blog is Beautiful Chaos, but...
Since I'm now posting blogs on here and not on Tumblr anymore, this article will be a very personal and probably even an emotional one. And it includes a favorite band of mine, The Psychedelic Furs.
When I used to write on Tumblr, I never talked about my personal life and the struggles I have...
that moment you start to realize that you are not feeling anxious when you get dizzy in large crowds, rush hour at work, bright lights overhead, but in fact feeling sensory overload. I'm picking it up more. right now it still takes me a while to go "OH! the lights are too much, Oh! the sounds...
I've been watching videos of Aspies talking about dealing with life, work, all kinds of stuff. It is different from reading typed words - when I view people in action - and I mean when they "Aspie out", i.e. have no filter....it shows me in a mirror what I can be like. I relate to it - it's...
I've been watching/listening to videos and reading books on job prep for Aspies. I watched one short documentary on an Australian Aspie who is trying to get into the workforce. It was fun to watch, and there were just a few parts that made me cringe:
When the supervisor told him to "enjoy...
