The last few days have been somewhat plagued by this feeling. I’m anxiously waiting for something that never arrives. What is it that I’m waiting for? Well over the last few days, it’s been a number of things. Calls to third-parties at work result in “I’ll call you back”. I then sit there waiting for [...]
I’m highly charged today. Perhaps literally. For the third day in a row I’m the only person in the office. There are usually three of us, with one of the other chaps spending almost his complete time ensuring that the system we run is performing properly. In his and my other colleague’s absence, it’s down [...]
You might have spotted that I’ve not been too up-beat of late. In the middle of last week, right in the middle of feeling not-so-great, I had to attend a social function that I’d accepted before I started to feel that way. I nearly chickened out – a social engagement was the last thing I [...]
A little under two weeks ago, I was on holiday with my family in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was the end of the afternoon, on what had been a long day. We’d spent some time at the Museum of Childhood, seeing children’s toys down the ages. We’d also seen some street performers taking part in the [...]
I like to think that in general my writing here is upbeat and positive. That isn’t always how I feel though, and this article reflects that. If that isn’t your thing, then maybe you’ll want to skip reading this time. This article also has some adult themes in places. You have been warned. – Guilt. [...]
I don’t know if you’ve noticed – I certainly have – most of those who contribute to the debate here are female. More than that, almost all of the blogs that I read regarding ASDs are written by women. This isn’t me being selective, indeed I’d dearly love to hear more about AS from a [...]
Sometimes, repetition is soothing. On the right day, actions like inputting my receipts into online tool wesabe can be very soothing. It’s the same keystrokes and mouse movements over again for each receipt that I enter. At the end of the process I feel calmed and soothed. There is an order to the repetition that [...]
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know that I discovered my Asperger’s in the autumn of 2008, when I was thirty five years old. Until that point in my life, I’d been plagued with feeling different from everyone else, getting into many scrapes of my own making that I didn’t see [...]
I’m finding that I’m needed to write each morning when I get into work this week. If I don’t attempt to empty my brain a bit, I can’t settle down to the work that I’m being paid to do. So it’s Wednesday morning, and here I am writing once more. What’s on my mind today? [...]
For as long as I have been in the IT profession, my best work has been produced from the ideas of other people. Tell me what needs doing, and I’ll do it. Typically I’ll do it well, and with a great attention to detail. Leave me to my own devices, and I’ll struggle to determine [...]
