Prepare to enter the wild and wooly world of an adult with Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism characterized by intellignce, quirks, social difficulties and downright strange and oddish behaviours.

People with Aspergers generally are high functioning in everyday life but have great difficulty connecting with others due to the inability to read faces, body language and subtle verbal clues. They also tend to take words literally and have a hard time multi-tasking.

Oversensitivity to touch (clothing has to be soft and often the tags removed), light (do not leave home without the sunglasses), sound (loud noises and noisey places are avoided), taste (many Aspies have quite a limited diet and are frequently very picky eaters) and smells makes the everyday existence more of a challenge.

Fasten your seatbelts and come on in...

I'm starving




Every now and then...I realize how much I am starving. Sometimes it's when I'm furiously rifling through the kitchen pantry for food....but that is not my true hunger.
I used to feel guilty every time the furnace turned on...and I'd have to wager whether or not my physical comfort was worth a few more pennies.
I grew so used to suffering, I didn't even realize there was anything but...discomfort.
It's useless to think, pray, say that you need or want something, some feeling, emotion, touch, comfort...when previous asking produced empty stares and eyes of disdain.
Maybe comfort is the right of every human....maybe I'll believe that...some day.
I'm starving. I am pretty sure I have always been....maybe it's okay to say now.
Maybe this is progress??
