Help. I’m sorry to start with such a stark word, but I truly feel like I need some help right now. Life with Asperger’s is at times full and happy, but I also find it to be filled with big periods of confusion, stress, anxiety, and unfortunately, hopelessness. These feelings have been so repetitive through my thirty-seven [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
I’m continuing to experience fallout from my stressful evening at the theatre last weekend. The flashbacks and replays of the events have stopped, thank goodness, but the evening has served to heighten my background levels of stress and anxiety considerably, and these have yet to abate. Whilst not causing a downward spiral by any means, [...]
I’ve been left with a familiar feeling. So much so, that I nearly entitled this piece Groundhog Day. But to call it that that would just be showing another of my traits – the one where I present my own interpretation of things as fact, without having all the information needed. Passing off BS as [...]
I got a shock last week, and it has made me realise that I have been subconsciously keeping quite a tight control over what I read and how I publicise my blog. In a blog article I wrote a week or so ago, I lamented about how few hits the blog was getting. I felt [...]
It’s often said – indeed I’m sure even I’ve said it more than once – that Asperger’s is a hidden condition. What is meant by this, of course is that you can’t tell that someone has it simply by looking at them. A great many people, it would seem, don’t believe in things they can’t [...]
Here’s an interesting one. One day last week, I wrote a couple of articles for this blog. They were quite long and intense, and I ended up with nearly 2000 words bashed out in a little over an hour. I felt great. I usually do after writing a blog post. The physical act of typing [...]
These days, if you catch me after I’ve been busy for a while, you may find me to be initially unresponsive. Many people over the years have commented that I seem to be away in a little day dream world. From my perspective it’s no day dream, its more of a shut down. Let me [...]
