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...

Notes to self

I keep trying the same thing and get the same result, mildly disastrous. Stop it, please.
*
When I was young, I thought the ideal job would be to be able to touch people and heal them. I did that, in a way. I trained as a certified massage therapist and was really good at it until I couldn't work anymore.
*
God loves me even if I do not do any work. I have value even without having a job, working on myself, or doing productive chores.
*
There's this thing called Unconditional Love that I seek to find. No strings.
*
I do not understand why people fly kites. Heck, I fail to understand the reason kites exist. 
*
I can't help but wonder if my dad had been better at holding a job if he still would have sold me for money to those men.
*
I am grateful for good food that tastes good. 
*
I realize the idea of having neurotypical friends is impossible and ridiculous. I have chosen to no longer pursue that option.
*
I will slightly be on the lookout for my people, fellow Aspies. I could benefit from having a nother of my kind to interact with sporadically. 
*
I had a friend once who knew a lot about Autism. The friendship didn't last but she was a raging alcoholic so I don't take all the blame. I wonder if she ever did decide to address her issues and get help. I think of her now and then and wish her well, even though I will never understand why she left.
*
The only true peace I will ever have, is through living completely alone and mostly isolated. It's not a bad thing. It's not a negative thing. It's the least painful option of existence. Kinda logical.
*
I wonder how many Autistics get Burnouts Shutdowns and just think they are being lazy or physically sick.
*
The temperature will take a sudden dramatic turn from 60's to 80's tomorrow. Dress accordingly.
