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...

1:27am so begins rain

And the rain starts to fall
Someone's turned on the tap
Refreshing as breeze blows in
Nostrils flare awake
Clouds falling petals
Beckon a more open window
As the thought of sleep surpassed by
The need for this harmony, 
This balm for my brain
Gentle rhythmic waves
To soothe my agitated soul
As a new old memory takes shape,
Takes over 
And plunges me into the dark places
I work to avoid
The rain, a temporary respite, 
A place I find peace
I lay awake to stay free and present
