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…

College was not easy. One of the hardest things for me was balancing study with free time. I really had to buckle down and get to work on everything. My undergrad was very different because it was done online through Colorado Technical University. They didn’t have finals, you were graded on a point system. So how many points you accumulated through all your courses totaled up at the end and that’s how you wound up with your grade at the…
This may be hard to take as advice. But you can’t go and let your diagnoses define you as a person. So the reports come back and tell you that you have ASD, but you had these issue before the diagnoses. You are who you are. We are all unique, different people, who walk the same path but with different strides. But we are the originals not copies of one another. Never let anything or anyone define your character. Have…
How many times have you walked into a interview sat down, gone through the whole process and at the end as you walked out thought you nailed it. Than later to either never get a call or to get a email weeks later saying the same old thing “Sorry but we have decided to go another direction” We all know these letter can lead to depression, because we were hoping we impresses the hiring manager. Do not feel alone I…
When people look at us they don’t see that we are different than the rest of the world but yet we are. We do things differently. There are those on the spectrum that wish they weren’t and there are those who accepted it and embraced it. Being different isn’t that bad. Look at Ford. When he came out with the first model T is was just one color and everyone was soon driving the same car with the same color.…
I know I have talked a lot about my own travel experiences but I have never really given any tips on how someone with Autism should travel. There are so many things you need to do, before you start your journey. To be honest with you I was a bit overwhelmed at times, but I found different things to help me get through the each leg of my trip. Planning This is a big thing. You can’t just go on…
How do you look at your situation? There are those of us who look at it as a blessing to a answer. This is because we wanted to know why were different then the rest of the population. Having (ASD) or Asperger’s as it was originally called meant we were different from the rest of the world. As we look around we notice that others are doing things at a faster pace then we are doing it. But why? This…
You’re not alone in this universe of ours, when you look up and see the stars. You see those stars shining down, know people from the past are guiding you on. Remember your family cares about you, they just don’t understand what your going though. They care a great deal about what you are feeling. So remeber you’re never alone. You’re not alone, when you walk down the street and stranger greets you with a smile and a simple hello.…
Everyone has a routine. But habits are something we repeat. Whats the difference between a routine and a habit? What is a routine? Every morning I get, I take a shower before 9am. Before I get in the shower, I turn it on, so it gets hot, than I proceed to take out my clothes for the day, than I say to myself “underwear, socks, pants, shirt, sweater.” Believe it or not this is a routine.. A routine is something…
This is one of the biggest problems with most people on the Autism Spectrum. Now I am not saying they are controllable, I am saying they can be avoided by get a sense of self. I have heard stories from many people and what happens when they have a breakdown. None of the stories never end good.
