    A mom, a son and lots of curiosity

    My eight-year-old told me last night, again, that he’s not learning anything at school. That he wants to know how everything was created, and how the plants and animals were inside.

    Need advice on how to handle new job. Should I tell them that I am autistic?

    I would like to tell them but I don't think it would turn out well. Nobody would understand and then I would be treated differently. I do want to be treated differently but not in the way that they probably would. I come in on time, I do my job, I obey, and I'm afraid to sit down or take...

    I struggle with Aspergers. Am I #blessed or what?

    A lot of times we use the word blessed lightly. Whenever an event happens to us that makes us happy, or we work hard and reward ourselves with something rare money can buy, our tendency is to post or tweet it out and drop the hashtag #blessed Examples: I just bought a car. #Blessed (I wish...
