People may not notice this, but I tend be a bit of a perfectionist , I also have a bit OCD. I seem to senses this in myself. Now the reason I think I am the way I am with my OCD and being a perfectionist is, that if it is not right in my mind than it is out of control and when things are right than I have a bit more control over them. Now this is my…

To begin with my battle with Social Security took me 3yrs to get to where I am now. The first time I applied for SSI, I did this on my own. No help from layers or organizations of any kind. We had given up hope. This was way back when, Autism wasn’t a even on the states radar scope. We didn’t even think about Appeal or going in front of a judge at that time. Now when I got from…
When the days get colder, and rainy and you can’t figure out what to do, look into your storage of board games or computer games. Get the whole family involved if they want to. Now if they don’t want to play, that is OK as well. Everyone has their own way of entertaining themselves. For me example, I like to watch streamers or play a game on my computer. But since now it’s me and my mom I like to…
I been playing minecraft for a long time, first Vanilla, than on to modded. This is a great game due to fact you have total control of everything that you do. From the blocks you use to how you want to play it. Now the Minecraft community is huge. There are conventions for it, one of the biggest conventions is called MineCon or Minefare Earth. They offer fans a chance to see great builds and meet some of youtubers they…
Let me say that you should never let anything or anyone discourage you from doing what you love. If you have a passion go for it. I always loved traveling, so I combined that with education and went abroad for college. Now going abroad is not for everyone. It is a huge step outside the the comforts of home. You need to feel out your surroundings and explore, there are some of us who need that extra shove. A few…
Having Asperger’s is a uphill battle for me, but by no means is a deterrent to stop doing what I love doing. Did I let it stop me from getting two degrees or traveling through Europe on my own, it did not. But it made me step outside my norm and embrace the world we live in. Never in a million years would I imagine going abroad for school or traveling though Europe on my own. It never stopped me…
I just want to wish everyone out a Happy Thanksgiving. I want all you to remember, if you family is giving a hard time it’s not because they want to see you fail, they want to see you succeed. We all need to push ourselves or we will be will be stuck and it will get harder to get to out. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!…
If you find that you are not sure what to do with your son/daughter. Find a common interest. Maybe you they like science, take them to museums, if they like watching streamers or playing games maybe plan a trip to a gaming convention or streaming convention like (Pax for gaming or TwitchCon for Streaming) If they like Minecraft, maybe play with them or get them to tell about their build. If you want you kid to do things besides sit…
I write this blog because, apparently, talking to myself out loud wasn’t enough. As an autistic and neurodivergent human navigating life’s chaos, writing helps me make sense of things—and maybe even make you feel a little less alone while I’m at it. Think of it as my therapy sessions…just with more typos and fewer awkward silences. Disclaimer Everything here comes from my own lived experiences and slightly overthinking brain. I’m not a doctor, therapist, or guru—just someone trying to figure…
