A new Special Interest

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 [...]

Awareness

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? My new job is going well – very well. That is the biggest reason that I’ve not been writing here. It’s not that I couldn’t find the time to write, it’s a little more subtle than that. My new job has become my current special interest, and has taken [...]

One, two, three, four…

You know how it goes: Ring-Ring. One… You don’t like calling people on the phone, and have just spent ages trying to pre-play the conversation in your head. Ring-Ring.

This is an unusual event in our household, but we had been to evenings at the other couples houses recently, so it was our turn to entertain. With my new-found hyper-awareness of how my Asperger’s affects me, I wondered how the evening would [...]

The cuckoo in the nest of life

One of the really great things about the Internet from my perspective is that you can learn from others. Each morning I eagerly look at my Google Reader to see which of the blogs that I follow have new entries. I follow lots of content about a lot of different things, and I learn a [...]

The momentum of life

Life has a momentum to it. Perhaps everyone’s life does. Raising a family, working for a promotion at work, striving towards long term goals. All of these give you a momentum in life. The momentum I’m talking about here is much shorter term than any of these though – it’s the daily momentum of what [...]
