For all of you listening to my podcast, I want to thank you. But yesterday was a huge hit to my heart as my beloved dog had passed away at 7am in the morning in bed with my mom. Her name was Mocha and let me tell you a bit about her. Mocha was one of the most loving dogs I have ever had, next to my Pugs Sophie and Ralph. Mocha loved to play bury her face in the…
For those out there wondering how I do it. How do I talk to strangers all over the world on my podcast. Here is a story for you. I have always been very outgoing, to the point where I would talk to people I don’t even know. I always wondered why I was the way I am. Than my mother told me one day that I got my gift of gab from my grandfather, her father. My dad was friendly…
The clinical study I was on has ended abruptly, leaving everyone with questions. I will no longer be taking the drugs I was taking, but I still have a 3–month follow up where I must show up and and have my temperature taken. This is somewhat good news for me, because I still get paid for it. The downside to this though, is that I will be off the medicine and so I hope I don’t revert back to how I was before.…
Hello Everyone. I know I touched on this, in the about me section. But I didn’t discuss the troubles I had during my times when I volunteered. The problems is not many companies these days wanted to spend money in training their companies in how to deal with employees with disabilities, well because of that reason I was a casualty of the system. Every where I volunteered, it was the same story in life. No one wants to deal with…
This is a different type of post. This is a letter to my dear beloved father who passed away 3yrs ago on August 10th. Dear Dad, Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you or hear you hearty voice in my head. I still can remember all the things you taught me through the years. Each one of your life lessons still stick with me today. I can recount the times we would just sit and watch…
Well I am ending the double blind study, and I feel as that I am on the drug. These are the observations I have made so many to tell me that I maybe on the new medicine. Observations: I am thinking more clearer. I am seeing things much normally. I am thinking of others before I am thinking of myself. (Ex. I had cooked dinner for my mother a month or so, and even cleaned up). I noticed when I…
It’s no clue that pets play a important role in everyone’s lives. But more so to those of us who have ASD. If you a dog lover, or cat lover or a lover of mice or rats or hamsters or gerbils. There is one thing that pets give us which is unconditional love. But for those of us on spectrum they teach us a few things. For those of you who are very much antisocial and introverts a pet, can…
This is one of the biggest problems. It’s a problem everyone faces, but those on the spectrum it’s a huge issue. This is because we are outside the norm and society looks at us different. We are people and have feelings as well. Some of the biggest fears we face are: abandonment, making friends, socializing with people, and just plain old being accepted. Maybe of those on the spectrum have to whats called “Mask” which is pretending to normal just…
When people look at me, and see that I spend hours in front of my computer, playing a game or tinkering. This is not because I am anti-social. Video games is whats keeps me sane, and it’s not just me it is the majority of those on the spectrum. Now you may be asking “How can playing video games keep you sane?” The simple answer is escapism. It’s our escape from reality. It’s a world where we have complete control…
When we are feeling down, and worn out, we struggle with our day to day lives. We feel that we are fighting an a uphill battle. That we will never get out of this rut. But than we get a glimmer of something in the distance. That something is Hope. It is said that Hope was one of the two gifts we were given by the Gods. Hope is the first gift that Aeschylus mentions. Chorus: Did you perhaps go…
