A Day in the Life with Autism
I get frustrated easily when something doesn't
work, I mean really frustrated, but I
don't know if my level is normal or not because I live alone. Living alone with
autism is difficult. I can't tell if my behavior toward any given thing is
"correct" or not because there is no one to tell me. However, if someone is around there is a very real risk of being
scolded for overreacting which adds to my anxiety. There is no clear
navigation when I have to figure it out by myself, which is frustrating.
Whose Fault is it This Time?
The election has come and gone. Regardless of the outcome, with every election there is finger pointing at some demograph for the failure on the losing side. A favorite are minorities. It's all their fault, except they make up less than 50% of the population- that's why they are called a minority. Then there are people who complain about the "liberal media" failing the election.
Ahem. There was no media failure, 90% of all media in America is owned by 6 companies and 5 of them are conservative. The failure was in people thinking that liberals run the media in America.
O Brother Friend of Mine
I've written about friendships before but from a women's perspective. Friendships are a vital part of a healthy society and ours is very ill. Men in particular are not encouraged to forge close relationships with other men for fear a appearing soft or worse -homo. The stoic, solitary man so fashionable in the past is killing men-literally. Men need to be taught how to cultivate these bonds to avoid a lonely, loveless life. Listento these guys, they get it.

I live with bouts of periodic DEEP depression. During those periods I feel as if I am contained in a double sided insulated glass bottle. I have no motivation, nor energy. However, I can still feel anger and frustration.
SO, what is “ normal”?
Re media: people won’t learn what they don’t want to know
For some reason all the comments are anonymous and I can't tell who it is.
