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...

Mantra Me

Don't we all need a mantra, a prayer, a chant 
Rhythmic patterns of words to calm, soothe 
And be able to always call upon
Even in the deepest of distresses?
I have the catholic prayers of my youth to comfort me, even though I am no longer of that trained faith.
Sporadically, I search for others, more rhythmic, more in line with who I am these days.
Like a lucky coin in pocket
I believe in having a prayer to always count on.
