Back in early October of 2009, I was told explaining yourself to others can cause them to lose respect towards you. No one ever pointed that out to me before. Also back then, I finished reading Child Training Tips: What I wish I knew when my children were young by Reb Bradley. That book opened [...]
The 13 minute video about democracy at the end of this post, on The Story of Your Enslavement,¹ claims to say how we can finally become free from enslavement. It is correct in saying how we are enslaved. It does happen because of the fear of future loss and death. Most definitely, the fear of [...]
Aspergers people are not the only ones who get manipulated and bullied. However, they are the ones it happens to the most. Why do you think that is? The power of any mind game lies in the other person not being aware of how and when they’re being played. Below is an excerpt from a [...]
Curtis I. Crenshaw, revisor of Thomas Boston’s “The Crook in the Lot” (newly titled “How to Profit from Our Afflictions”), states at the end of his article Spiritual War and Liberalism, Mark it down that one never “objectively” comes to morality, but what the heart already loves the will embraces and then (and only then) [...]

Drinking it will promote better health. Although acidic to the taste, arrogant lemons (again, metaphorically speaking) can promote health with a highly alkalinizing effect on [...]
Before mentioning anything negative, I’d like to start with this positive bit of information: Aspie adults (often referred to as being on the autism spectrum) looking for a group to meet with in the Hudson Valley, do have one to attend that’s between New York City and Albany. It is now a member of GRASP. [...]
I paid a price for falling into a foolish trap when trying to defend Aspies in my post Adult Aspie Compromise. I didn’t realize back on the 7th day of April that what I did was only a compromise in my own mind. It was not a compromise as most people would view one. That [...]
I once read this statement someone made online: …empathy which is lacking in people with Aspergers. Highly sensitive [neurotypical] people tend to show a great deal of empathy while Asperger Syndrome people do not, but I would say that empathy eventually becomes such an overwhelming emotion that they learn to shut it off.
