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...

I'm exhausted

As long as I can remember, I get tired out, physically exhausted rather easily. I am healthy, reasonably fit, eat remarkably healthy food yet I just wear out quick.
Today, I did arise from a fitful night of tossing and turning. Sleep eluded me until sometime after 3am, as per the usual.
I stopped by a thrift store. A woman my age kept bumping into me. She reminded me of me, in no hurry and alone. As I thought I should speak to her, she was on her way out the door. Maybe I'll try speaking to a stranger at some point.
The grocery store, I loaded too much into my carry basket. My arms were sore by the time I checked myself out.
At home, my goal had been to locate and use the vacuum. It never fails. I get the first floor complete and I start to get tired half way up the stairs. I made it to the top with great effort. The second floor is for another day. My mission completed.
Then I griped, groaned and whined the rest of the afternoon because I was sore and my internet went out again.
After a very nice half hour chat with a kind woman from the Philippines on live agent chat, my TV and internet are gone till the tech shows up at my house tomorrow morning.
I'm too tired to do anything but complain. Lol.
I did get some necessary tasks completed.
I think the planned dinner of homemade biscuits and chicken livers may have to wait until tomorrow.
It's okay.
