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...

Incest Survivor Speaks Out...going public




I actually learned a few things from this faltered news article excursion. One, I am very comfortable speaking about my incestuous childhood and Two, I really want to go public.
I'm pondering and searching for the right platform upon which to jump off and become a public face of childhood sexual abuse and incest. The idea of helping other survivors and children still suffering seems like a perfect fit for me. It feels right, comfortable and I am strongly passionate in my belief.
I have learned so much in my continuing road to recovery, that I know I can help others without a doubt.
Now, to find the right format.
I have already contacted another newspaper and if this fails, I will contact yet another, and another, and another, until my voice is heard!
In the grand scheme of things....few items in our daily life seriously matter. This matters to me. I will speak out. It's time to be heard.

  1. You have a format right here in your blog. It might not reach as many at first.
    Even helping only one person is very important. Xavier
