I would suggest, Mesc, that this may mean your "employment psychologist" is unfamiliar with AS. Dyspraxia is one of the potential symptoms of ASD, after all, and as you've seen here, dyslexia is often comorbid. Maybe he/she would benefit from being pointed in the right (AS) direction...

Incidentally, one of the great things about AS is that I don't think you can break this "stream of consciousness" thing. We'll just keep drifting back toward whatever the hell it was we wanted to say in the first place.

Postie, the tshirt isn't mine - like I said, I cruise CafePress.com for shirts I'm not necessarily going to buy. If I were buying, long before that one I'd have to get the "Kara Thrace and Her Special Destiny - Live From Earth" concert T, the "Level 70 Nerd" shirt ("Special Powers: Bad Puns, Useless Trivia"), and the one that says, "Keep Staring - Maybe That'll Cure My Autism!" (although I think I'd get that one for my daughter, instead). OTOH, if you want it and have the dinero (and plastic - don't think they're set up to take money orders), it's in there! Just put "WoW" in the search bar, and scroll through them all...

AAHHH! My favorite time of day. Coffee Dude, time to air out the place. I'll put on the morning tea and water the fake plant while I listen to the echoes of last nights conversation. Oh, so peaceful!!

Love the

"Keep staring...Maybe that will cure my Autism",my kind of humor

You can make your own t-shirts.....(poor person trivia)

Zanne stumbles in and collapses in the chair. Coffee dude applies cold mask to eyes, puts coffee in hands and puts her feet up on silk pillow. Dh comes in and rubs his belly, saying, "It's good to be the king." Zanne groans. He sits down next to her and laughs, fluffing her hair. "What's the matter baby?" he asks her. "Luau's are the deadly sin of gluttony," she tells him.


On another note, my mother called yesterday to cry the blues to my brother, then made me get on the phone to ask what I got her for Mother's Day (thank God for dh, I didn't even remember it was Mother's Day). I tell her I sent her flowers and she says, "No jewelry?" What???? She has never wanted jewelry in her life and suddenly she wants red jade like I have. I think she's flipped her lid and told my brother as much. Dh says it is penance for my own jewelry gluttony. Hmmmm He could be right.

It's raining again here. Oh, we scandalized the luau. I wasn't aware such a thing was possible, but apparently it is.

there's another title to add to your collection: "Zanne, scandalizer of Luaus" ! !!

Mother's Day? Oh, yeah dates and time, I sort of remember that concept. That means the wild leeks are about ready to be gathered and the Jack-in-the-pulpit's are up in that one special spot. I don't know if I'll go into the woods to see them and dig a few leeks. I just might this year.

Local costum, the ham and leek super. Volunteer outfits like fire companys make money putting them on. Yeah life in small town, wild rural county America can be interesting. I do so much like watching the red necks graze. I like them (rednecks) in their own way and enjoy playing with them, in their rites of passage and play time. It used to be if you ate a raw wild leek, they'd send you home from school. Powerful stuff. Cook them and you won't have such a hard time mating. Cows that get into them will give a very special blend to their milk, lol. You have to beat the deer to them, they like to graze on the tops of them, just like the cows. Jack in the pulpits are a local orchid. Might be the only one here, in my neck of the woods. They haven't made a local costum of the orchids, but I bet more then a few red necks know those special spots. They just don't talk about them in polite red neck conversation.

I have seen the wild ginseng, I think, not sure. Most certianly they're on the north side of the hill in my back yard. Someday maybe I'll try and seperate them from the over all woods. I just need to remember to replant the berry if I need to take a root home and dry it. They're neat to see as they dry and shrival into all the wild shapes. Ya, I like the shapes. No two ever alike. Don't know why I would do such a thing, unless, unless it's good in coffee. Probably no need to go look at the flowers or gather leeks either, I think I just did. I do wonder, now, if the wild ginseng is good in coffee.

LOL There was a girl who dated a guy in my dorm. Her name was Colleen. We called her Mescaline.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10....... I know Prof. Stop going over to that forum. However. I joined WP to be an advocate for parents of AS children. I have alot of experience but as usual the few loud and obnoxious know-it-alls have to act like morons!!

Coffee Dude, 1 Paralyzer, please! What would happen if just for 10 lousy minutes everyone stopped judging one another?


And if I could get my signature to show up on here!! AAAAGGGGHHHHHH!! !! (throws a no holds barred temper tantrum that send Coffee Dude into hiding!)

I came to WP originally because I have 2 AS sons and was looking for advice and support. I also have an AS husband. In the parent forum are many new parents who need advice and support. I have done a very good job with my sons (all 3) and have learned a few tricks. There are a number of parents over there who are very judgemental and one went so far as to say she's tired of parents complaining or listing symptoms with no regard for the child or how they feel. I feel deeply for parents whose children are newly diagnosed or not yet diagnosed and really don't feel they need to be judged by anyone. Judgemental people are my pet peeve!!

Phew! I feel better now.

I just figured out the signature thingy!!
