"It was only a baby seizure" I had a small seizure in the pool today and briefly went occasional. People where fussing even though it was only a "baby seizure" not a fully grown one.
Employment Discrimination
Hey, guess what's grinding my gears today? The issue of unemployment in the autism community, as well as the issue of employment in the autism community. Both are problematic, and as with most things it's an institutional problem.
The figure I hear is 90% unemployment...
Note from yesterday
Editing potato characteristics so that they turn into
sentient creatures. Aliens, probably, since there
are three types of potato groupings.
Maybe I will be putting these next to 8 groups of emotions
with levels.....[like from happy to ecstatic]
and somehow combining these...
Me "I've got one person fired and one person a warning"
Teacher "That's not something to be proud of"
Me "I now but how many people can say it".
To clarify the person I got fired was a life guard who was off poolside when I was having a fit and nearly drowned. The person I got a warning given...

If Antartica melts down, half of the human race will have to move or drown. I already gave links about that in another post, so you can go look at that or pass on the links if you need them to get others to pay attention and help out.
Here is a picture of other people who are taking action to...

It was not fun combing through Hero's poop, looking for bits of Nylabone. I never did find the Nylabone. No idea what happened to them. They could not have been digested, according to the vet and the makers. They were all amazed that Hero had managed to actually chew it it to pieces. Among...

Hero was the name of my last dog. He showed up wandering around the grounds of a nearby church, making a nuisance of himself. They were serving food outdoors, so he helped himself to food too. He was not polite about it and people were trying to shoo him away.
He had gotten a little shy...
The current scarcity of people who are even aware of their own spiritual gifts, let alone people who are making good use of them, can't be good for us as individuals or for the human race as whole.
I think there is a connection between the dearth of people who are aware of, and also making good...
Machine learning has automated many, if not most, low-level cognitive tasks in the Industrial Park. That is why there are very few "entry level jobs" in the Global Village. Residents have had to use their high-level cognitive ability to anticipate what parts of contracted work will be fully...
My hypothesis about spiritual gifts undergoes constant changes as I get new information about them. I find the subject fascinating and like to keep learning more about them. Helping other people discover and learn about their own spiritual gifts is probably my main spiritual gift, so that...
So, has the bubble burst? Has my new-found validity run out of steam? Met its match? Died a death? The answer is most assuredly: No.
Indeed, I have put it to the test. I have thrown everything I can think of at it: There have been social events, stressful health issues, concerns about the...
During a recent chat I mentioned an old scary movie I saw and nobody had heard of it. Others in the chat said something to the effect that it must have been before they had horror movies or something like that. They even had horror movies in silent film. It might be that what people think is...
SO I saw my GP this morning...as I somewhat expected he said he didn't see any signs that pointed towards Aspergers or autism, but he did recommend therapy.
Right now I feel stuck in between feeling stupid for bringing up my hunch about having autism or relieved for being able to start therapy...
