the crazies

When I mention to people that I’m not the most stable of persons, I get one of two reactions. The first is more common: they don’t believe me. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard, “Really? But you seem so normal!” I could…at least buy a value meal from McDonald’s. When I [ READ MORE ]

minor update whoo

Alright, it’s mid-July and I am 15 (FIFTEEN!) days away from a really big move. You see, I lived with a guy. Let’s call him Ted. Ted’s not his name, by the way, but it’s a good filler name, don’t you think? Anyway. Not-Ted lived here with me because, after my mom died and insurance [ READ MORE ]

changes

I kind of hate change. I dunno if it’s an assburgers thing or what, but change pretty much horrifies me. So this past month or so, with change after change, has been overwhelming. I’ve been dealing with a lot of mini panic attacks lately because, for a split second, I thought I was going to [ READ MORE ]

I mentioned taking the AQ test before, and I thought, hey, why not share a link to it? So, if you’re interested in taking the test to see how messed up your own head is, click here and check it out. One hilarious statement it asks you to agree or disagree with? “I would rather [ READ MORE ]

aspie or not: daria

I don’t know how many people still remember Daria, or how many people genuinely enjoyed the show. A talk with my good friend Mari, however, reminded me of how much I loved it, and how much the show resonated with me and others like me. Mari and I then got on the subject of Daria [ READ MORE ]

intense world theory

So, there’s this theory out there called the intense world theory. I’ll just quote the article: People with Asperger’s syndrome, a high functioning form of autism, are often stereotyped as distant loners or robotic geeks. But what if what looks like coldness to the outside world is in fact a response to being overwhelmed by [ READ MORE ]

girls and assburgers

I read this article on Psychology Today a while ago about a woman with Asperger’s, and how different women with the condition are than their male counterparts. The whole thing is pretty fascinating, and I found myself identifying with a lot of what it said about the girl, Kiriana. Kiriana’s similar strategy amounts to remembering [ READ MORE ]

assburgers

[Note: Originally posted on my livejournal and shamelessly copied and pasted here, because I'm lazy.] My mother always described me as gullible. I would take anything she, or anyone else, said at face value, no matter how absurd. Eventually, rather than accept statements blindly, I made sure to ask, “Really?” first. Usually I was rewarded [ READ MORE ]
