Even if he had the best healthcare program in the world, he would still refuse to be put into a nursing home. And since he doesn't have the best healthcare plan in the world, his plan won't cover enemas and listening in on hours of ramblings! Thankfully, he's not an invalid or diabled. But like any ...

My father is 77 and he has gotten frail in the last few years. I have come to realize that his best days are behind him. He's dying. And I have been wrestling with some really dark feelings about my life and his dying. First, please let me say that I am honored that it's me taking care of him in his...

I sent her the e-mail and I have yet to hear back from her. But she's not around a computer right now since she's been travelling on this vision-quest kind of trip so she can find her place in the universe. I'm not looking to get back with her. I'm just trying so damn hard to find a way to tell her ...

I really hate and mourn the fact that the stupid town I live in would never have an Aspie support group. And even if we did, it would be full of fretful parents desperately trying to figure out how to cure or deal with their children's Asperger's. (And not their adult children's or even THEIR Asperg...

Well, I wrote her the e-mail, poured my heart out, told her about Asperger's and included a few links.

So I'm about to find out whether this whole thing was a no-win scenario or not.

It should be very interesting.

My ex-wife calls me tonight and we talk about her being on this extended road trip to find herself, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I make it a point to tell het that if she's ever at a point where she doesn't have anywhere to live, she can come stay with me. She knows I don't mean to stay fo...

Just as soon as I had a better understanding of who I was, around 5 years old, I suddenly realized that I was very much different that all other kids. By the time I hit 7 years old, I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I was different. I couldn't tell you where and how I was different. Just that...

The quickest way I think I can put a positive spin on AS is to tell someone that it is believed Albert Eistein had AS. If THAT'S not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is! Just help your Aunt stay WELL informed about AS. That can help a lot. The more she knows about it, the less she may be inc...

As an acoustic guitar player, my advice to you is to buy a cheap first guitar. Cheap but well made. Well, as well built as a cheap guitar can be! Make sure you buy a guitar that does not have a bridge that's lifting off the face. That's a sure-fire sign you have a poorly built cheap made guiatr. Mak...

Never had a single paranormal experience whatsoever. People say that angels, demons and ghosts exist and that you can ONLY see them if you believe in them. And I don't believe in any of them and I have never seen any of them at all. I personally think it's a bunch of hogwash. If you work hard enough...

And oh my god, if someone gives me a list of several things to remember at once - it fries my brain. I mean, it just scrambles my brain. I have to make lists for everything. I cannot remember a big list of things given to me orally. If someone gives me a short list to remember, say ...3 things, then...
