Whenever anyone comments that they have a similar experience or see the world in a similar way to me, then I get an immense feeling of satisfaction. It's one of the best things about writing this blog - that feeling that I'm not quite so odd and alone in my perspective as I've always thought. Pace has slowed on this blog recently, as I try and put some of my efforts into other areas of my life, but I do still hope to post one or two new articles a week. There's still loads more in my head that I could talk about. Oh, and well done for making it to the end! James Hi DonkeyBuster,

It certainly speaks to my experience, especially the observations of never realizing how different one thinks and acts til the Asperger's label comes over the horizon... I'm still trying to grasp that others work from an emotional felt sense of their world, rather than an intellectual (intelligent?) sense. Summed up by my therapist as... you can't do it if it doesn't make sense, right? Right! I can so totally relate to the sponge quality of Aspie intellect. One of my interests is also local history (pioneers, cowboys, indians, homesteading... ) and it's always amazing how one thought leads to another and I just so enjoy the journey! Others are so amazed at the odd bits of info stored in my head. LOL And in one of those free association moments... I have a sister who is a contract research analyst... seems like a great job for an Aspie. =o) Any potential there for you? Thanks for the great blog. DB PS I read the whole thing... =oD Hi James,
