Maybe this is normal. I don’t really want to go round asking people though, because they’ll most likely think I’m mad, regardless of which outcome turns out to be normal. Whatever the case, it’s my Aspie trait of spotting the tiniest of details in things that’s lead me to spotting this, and then wondering what [...]
Perhaps I’ve been deliberately avoiding it, albeit subconsciously. Perhaps it’s just something of a fluke. Whatever lies behind it, it’s fair to say that I’ve never read the various sites on the web that advocate that Autism is a curable disease, and that vaccines cause autism. That’s changed today, and has proven to be something [...]
Are labels important? Does applying a label of Asperger’s Syndrome to myself help or hinder me? I spent thirty five years without a label to describe my differences, but at the same time I couldn’t escape labels. Those years were hard at times, and confusing too. Without a name to attach to how I was, [...]
I’ve read many times that Asperger’s Syndrome is a mild form of Autism. In really simple metrics this is true, but at the same time, that is an entirely unhelpful comment. My reasoning here is that if you tell someone that you have a mild form of autism, then they will likely think that it [...]
I used to be terribly disorganised, and failed to get things done that I really had to do. My memory for tasks appears to be very transitory – no matter what I do to try and consciously remember things, the list slips quickly out of my mind, and I have no clue what I was [...]
One day, I realised I had Asperger’s Syndrome. How did I reach this conclusion? I read an article on the Wikipedia, and saw how the traits that are common in the condition were a good fit for me. I made a leap of faith, and I’ve not looked back since. Once I’d done this, I [...]
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 [...]
If you’ve read a few of my articles, you may be left thinking that I surely must have noticed that I had Asperger’s, or at least that I had something that was causing me problems in my life, and that I should thus have been able to tackle it. Well, yes and no. As I’ve [...]
I don’t know if I’m doing a good job unless you tell me. Indeed, I’m likely to think I’m not doing all that well if you don’t say anything. You could argue that this has nothing to do with my Asperger’s, and you may well be right – it may simply be a lack of [...]
I grew up a fussy eater, but also as someone who enjoys food. If you feed me something I like, then I’ll enjoy it immensely. Feed me me something I don’t like, and well, I’ll be trying to disguise my horror. Vegetables. They have been a big problem, cooked or raw. Cous cous, mushrooms, nuts [...]
