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...

Autistic All-Star

I'm feeling strongly Autistic these days and quite happy about it. I have a though strict, extremely tasty and healthy meal choice going where by, each day I eat 95% of the exact same thing!! Less variety means less choices equals less stress and dismay. 
I have a solid, daily "uniform" that suits me fabulously. I wear an oversized Oxford shirt, jeans and my shoes, often without socks these days, do I'm kind of branching out in the world. 
I have a handful of fun projects that I pick and choose from that entertain me. Currently reading a book and crafting with felt.
I am feeling physically well, thus a walk or two each day for 2-3 miles.
Methinks that my sudden increase in energy may be due to my two new supplements: NAC and folinic acid. Both have been heavily tested and researched and shown promise in reducing Autistic symptoms.
I'll have to write a post specific to those two as I believe I have stumbled upon a way to curb my Shutdowns and Burnout.
Just feeling Autistic and feeling good about myself. Weird, huh?!
