Hey folks. I just moved from North Carolina to Georgia. It has been a crazy month. Busted my mom out of the loony bin and things are better here where I was raised, where people know me. I learned alot traveling around the country...expecially how disabled I am socailly. I still have that problem here some, but not as bad as dealing with culture shock and autism at the same time.
Sorry I been gone so long. I am kinda tech impaired and needed help getting set up with the wireless motem and internet protection.
I started a garden in which I am going to teach folks here all about what I learned about self sustainability and why. The only problem is the obvoius, I have autism and relating things to folks can really be dificult. I love the people here is my hometown, they are genuinely good natured people...with the exception of a few. I know things are going to go sour again with the economy due to the energy prices and general sorriness of those in power. So I decided that I wanted to teach folks here what I learned about self sustainiability but the teaching part is the hardest part for me to relate with folks not only accross neodiversity barriers but racial and cultural barriers too. There is so much about the southern african american culture that is so confusing to me. I love them like family, but there is a major cultural barrier that my autism makes so much harder to hurdle....any ideas
