ASD-themed jewelry/accessories
What ASD-themed jewelry or accessories do you have? I used to have an autism awareness ribbon pin with the rainbow puzzle pieces on it. I wore it on my apron to work (didn't reduce the bullying; people probably didn't even notice it) and later put it on my purse. But a month ago I looked at my...- umbrellabeach

Wage Slavery *gasp*
Wage Slavery Wage slavery. Watch out, that's a Marxist term. I'm taking a huge risk by even breathing such a term; I bet my FBI profile will reflect that I'm a "communist sympathizer" after I post this. After all, we have a non-oppressive government that allows for the freedom of different... -

The Destructive Power of the Phrase "Life isn't fair"
"Life isn't fair." - The motto of those who don't care about just how unfair life has been to someone else. "Life isn't fair". I hate that saying so incredibly much. It can't be defeated because it's technically true. It's true because it makes itself true via its use and application by those... -
Who's the Monster?
Who's the Monster? I've been reading a lot lately about psychopathy (or more properly, antisocial personality disorder) and its overlaps and connections with autism. It should be noted that "psychopathy" doesn't actually have a formal definition in the DSM or ICD, but I fail to see any major... -
Therapy frustration!! Grr.
So my therapy format is odd...to see a therapist I have to call the office on the day I want to go in, and they will schedule a time for that day. Well, today was the first day I had time/courage to try it out. So, I called and reached an answering machine (PANIC), left my contact info and they...- deedledee90

Institutional Employment Discrimination
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... -

Autism (and other special needs) a novelty

Progress...maybe.
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...- deedledee90

How to do things
Today I saw a short documentary on the CBC news channel. It was about a woman from Toronto, Canada who has a brother who is autistic and non-verbal. She's created an app for her brother, so that he knows how to do things and he likes playing games, so its in game form. She's offering it for free...- Mia

Entry 2 - 'Should I smile because we're friends? Or should I cry because that's all we'll ever be?'
So second year. I came back, wasn’t sure what to expect at all. I moved into a house of 8, which has been definitely an experience to start with. I came back not just to get my degree, but to see her. I had a weird growth spurt over the summer – which at 19 years old, shouldn’t really happen...- The Aspergers Guy
