| I have not posted here in a long time. I have not been cured of Asperger's syndrome, but I have made a lot of progress. I have eliminated nearly all anxiety and fear; I can even be an extrovert if I like. I have not become standard, not will I ever be standard. There were helpful steps for me along ... |

| My story may be hard to believe, but I never lie or pad my resume. Just recently, I started tracking better than ever. I survived the tragic loss of my wife, overcame anger management, stopped viewing myself as a victim, and became extremely articulate. I owe this to my Buddhist meditation practice,... |

| Self-diagnosis is usually the only way people who are in small sub-population groups figure themselves out. As soon as I caught a news article on television in July, 2006, I knew it was about me. In the meantime, I have altered the way I conduct my life, and my wife says my behavior makes a lot more... |

| My reply is very controversial. Everyone plugs into reality with various degrees of success. As an analyst, I have noted that many people seem to have knowledge that they cannot account for. Some people are geniuses or child prodigies. It is not just people, but this process seems to extend to all l... |

| I am the first-born child. My mother had been carrying me for one month when Pearl Harbor was bombed. My parents have always been worriers. My father wanted me to be a jock, but he died before learning that I am transexually-oriented. I have been living full-time as a transwoman for 40 months. I tak... |

| i'd call it a "new age" take on deism with a little pantheism thrown in and, like with any religion, a large helping of arrogance and self-importance. Process Theology is philosophy, not religion. "New age" is about the occult, reincarnation, crystals, and the like. I do not believe in any of that ... |

| I am a Process Theologian. Process theology offends a lot of people: theists call us atheists in disguise, and atheists call us theists in disguise. We create definitions to suite the models of reality that we create. To me, God is just a name for the mystery that binds everything together. Since Go... |

| I have posted elsewhere here before. I am a transwoman, and I consider myself to be far more like a woman than a man. I do not like being forced to dress as a man. I already have an unofficial diagnosis of Aspergers, but my wife wants me to see a true specialist. I am hesitant, because I have heard ... |

I have a new Aspergers web page at Asperger Page
My personality and life progression makes far more sense since I self-diagnosed myself as AS last June. I am relearning how to partcipate in conversations.

| My fashion sense depends on which gender-mode I present in. On those rare occasions when I dress as a man, I am very sloppy and do not hang up my clothes. I have learned to pass dressed as a woman. This is my exploration of Subjective Reality. The rule is that women have fewer rules than men; at lea... |

| I am married to a Mormon, and I have a lot of interaction with other Mormons almost on a daily basis. Mormons believe a lot of things, and many Mormons believe that they are religious experts, but much of it is urban legend even within their own belief system. I am more comfortable with members who ... |

| Let me say right off that conventional religion is wrong, because it makes human beings the center of the universe, is not really very inclusive, and it is mostly run by men who are very self-rightious. However, there are still a lot of churches that have something meaningful to say, especially for ... |

I just turned 64, and my formerly fabulous memory is getting mushy. I study the nature of objective reality and subjective real... |

| As I approach my 64th birthday, I have come to find out that I might suffer from Asperger’s Syndrome or some related condition. I have always had trouble in social situations; I get very flustered, and I can definitely hog the conversation, if I can manage to get one started. Amazingly, my wife and ... |
