I confess I will have to be very careful now not to call Trigger "honey" as it is a term I use frequently in conversation (luckily not so much in type). I have made a concerted effort not to use the term as much anymore because I don't know how to explain to my child in a way he can understand when it is and is not appropriate to use "honey"

You may feel free to use the southern familiar vernacular "honey" to refer to me any time; I find southern culture endearing. Hmmm, Kentucky; you don't happen to have a southern accent do you? :heart: My wife got me started watching The Closer a while back, and I fell head-over-heals for Brenda Leigh's southern accent.

I confess that my son also repeats things and phrases he hears me say, and now he calls everyone (and I mean everyone) "honey." All his teachers, soccer coach (who is a man), other kids, grannie, etc.

I confess that my son went through a phase where he started prefixing "miss" in front of everyone's term. He started calling me "Miss Daddy", a male clerk at the grocery was "Miss Man", etc. At first I didn't realize what he was doing and paid little attention (he has numerous odd speech mannerisms). It took me a while to realize where he got this; his teachers at school were all Miss's; Miss Heather, Miss Kate, Miss Rebecca, Miss Dawn, etc... He naturally thought that one is supposed to just stick "Miss" in front of everything. At which point I taught him the alternate "Mister"; he still needs a reminder about this from time to time.

I confess that the familiar vernacular that's gotten me in the most trouble is the British term "luv". May be OK in the UK (Brits?); but in the US, it's a recipe for either fun or trouble, and one must be prepared for either.

Good fortune,

Thanks for the info, KingdomOfRats. We're working on it. Now his teachers are saying that they understand he's repeating a generated phrase... But they can't let the other students see there's no consequences when Wolf (my son) says "inappropriate" things. So, effectively, he's being punished because the other students don't understand him. :? But I'll be damned if I'm going to let that continue; my wife's gonna give it another go or two, and failing that, it's warpath time...

If I may say, you have a most wondrously singular manner of writing! It took me a little bit to understand it; but I've just been reading through your blog, and I think I understand now. It is not unlike learning a dialect of autism, which I find extremely fascinating. Once I started to get it, it started reading like poetry. It is one of my fondest hopes that Wolf some day develops the ability to communicate as well as you have, and it gives me great hope to be communicating with someone who is MFA. Thank you for that hope. :wink:

cats are not supposed to want to crap and wee in places their food is,but have found some biscuits lying in sams litter tray before and she has no problem with laying her poo rocks on it.

Thank you for this advice, fellow cat lover. I'll give it a try.

Good fortune,

I confess that the last time I posted here I meant to add a "you" before I said " should have decided to moon someone." It didn't make sense the way I wrote it. :oops:

I confess to Almighty Aspie that I plan on going downtown tommorow since there is an event known as the "Love Rally" and I did not have the balls to ask a girl at school if she wanted to come with me. :oops: {blushing}

I confess (don't kill me) that I'm a furry.
No, I don't have any fursuits, nor do I talk about my fetishes.
Hell, ask me what fetishes I have and I'll say ":x"
Hate me if you wish, but can you truly hate something you don't understand?
Insult me if you dare, it doesn't make a bit of difference.
However, my interest still remain intact. Video games, the internet and computers in general.




Whew, saying this is a bit of a relief!

:? Whence comes this front-loaded expectation of hatred, insults, and misunderstanding? I confess, furry fandom rules! :P YIFF YIFF YIFF!

Good fortune,

I confess that I am emphatically not neurotypical.

However, I confess that I fear that *any other diagnosis* but AS would be seen by me and my loved ones as an objective, irrefutable indictment of my character as a human being.

I confess I never should have told her, never should have mentioned it. I didn't think she would make it worse; I was wrong.

I confess it genuinely surprises me when people say they respect me and all that... 8O
My past is tainted with failure to socialize that well... I was always vulnerable... but never REALLY vulnerable so at least that's a good thing...

What is this... this... this 'success' I seem to be on the road to achieving a lot of the time? 8O It's some sorta alien concept lol. :lol:

It is bizarre when you can be on the same wave length as people in certain situations, and yet you're so aware of your condition and past failures that there's immense pressure on your shoulders... expectations of me to come across strong, confirmed by how I've been coming across strong... a beast for me because there's a big vulnerable state to me still...

Especially in this relationship stuff because it seems one day I'll come across surprisingly well, and the next I'll be too shy and there'll be a block.
I know success and failure, and both are strong sides to me... I will always inevitably taste success, and yet I can't escape failure...

What do I do??? 8O lol it's a beast of a mind...
