It came like a bolt from the blue. It always does. My wife wanted to talk. Not a friendly talk, but one of those talks where she wants to vent her huge frustration with me. She’s very good at this, and whether she realises it or not, has a canny knack of vicious character assassination, in [...]
Note: This is one of my more unusual articles. There’s nothing bad, and no bad language either. Just, umm, oddness. I spot things. I have an unusual attention to detail that means that means I see things most people miss. Whilst this often means humdrum things like trying to decipher personalised number plates on cars, [...]
Thoughts and feelings. Self expression. It’s vital. Yet how do you express yourself when you don’t have friends? And what happens if you don’t express yourself? These thoughts have been on my mind recently, so I thought I’d write about them a little. I have considerable trouble expressing myself clearly to other people, particularly when [...]
Where do I start? Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. That didn’t come as a surprise – I have after all been talking on this website for nearly eighteen months now in a matter-of-fact way as though it was already a done deal. The diagnosis left me feeling both shocked and relieved. [...]
Just a very quick post to confirm that I went for my diagnostic assessment yesterday. Verdict: I have Asperger’s Syndrome More later, when I’ve had a chance to think about it all.
On Monday I flew to Amsterdam on business, returning yesterday evening. I work in IT, and this trip was to visit the data centre we use to house our computer servers, with the main task being to fit out and commission a whole new cabinet with 20 servers and all the associated wiring and everything else that [...]
Here in the UK, a General Election has been called for 6th May. In the grand scheme of things, I’m not very big on politics. However, whenever a general election happens, I end up getting very drawn into it all, with very set views all of a sudden. I’m a liberal. Not out of choice [...]
I’m sure that everyone finds it difficult to be positive all of the time, no matter how high their self confidence is. My self confidence level moves around hugely, but on average has never been very high. Trying to keep my glass half full rather than half empty is a problem that I face frequently, and even after [...]
I have always been astonishingly good at faux pas. Since my self-realisation eighteen months or so ago that I have Asperger’s, there has of course been a reasonable explanation for this. Whilst I prefer to hide in the background, I do often say or do things are are simply not subtle. I say things that [...]
This post is a rant. Being a tech savvy geek with Asperger’s it’s no surprise that I’ve owned a smartphone for some time. Indeed, the first one I owned was a Sony P800, which was waaaay back in 2002. In those days you used a smartphone as an organiser, and not a great deal more, because this [...]
