A few thoughts…

silverwhistle wrote in asperger Mar 02, 2015 02:04

After an interesting journey over 2-3 years, though (so far) no official diagnosis, I'm now more at ease with myself and have a better understanding of where my limits and strengths and weaknesses are. What is difficult is when other people demand that I do things that I can't, or which don't come easily. I was on another forum earlier, and had ( Read more... )

Because of recent local government cuts to the bus service I've been arriving late (up to 9.30 am) for work and the having to leave at 4.45 pm to catch the last bus (leaves at 5.10 pm) and am currently under review by my employers for three months. I'm on a flexi system which my basic week should be 37. It hasn't been because of road works and I ( Read more... )

Lets discus “theory of mind”. One of the most difficult things for me to do is to describe something for someone else. And one thing that makes it even more difficult is that people often read in, and assume things in every thing you tell them. For example, one time I talked with a guy we can call A ( Read more... )

Recent historical films of interest…

Have been to see Mr Turner and The Imitation Game. Both were excellent: Turner has the edge in terms of accuracy of detail (even down to Sophia's small early 19C mourning brooch), but The Imitation Game, while quite fictionalised in parts, had me in tears by the end because what happened to Alan was real. Both, in different ways, make the point ( Read more... )

Teaching and tutoring

I've been tutoring for a couple months now as part of work study in writing and part of our training is a course about tutoring. Because I'm a graduate I can simply shadow this course and I actually don't have to do the assignments or projects but we are encouraged to talk about a tutoring or writing center issue. For example, one of the students ( Read more... )

Is this sensory sensitivity?

wuvvumsoc wrote in asperger Sep 24, 2014 11:28

I've been doing some research about different sensory issues that exist with people on the spectrum including asperger's syndrome. I'm going to write something later for a course I'm shadowing. But anyways while I was reading I found that the sensory issues cover all the senses and you can be over or under-sensisitive to a certain sense. I was ( Read more... )

Data and Confidence Intervals

So, I looked into that study that people have been pointing to, saying "the CDC lied" and "vaccines cause autism in African-American boys." I am a scientist (well ok, at this point I am trained as a scientist but am employed as an educator), I know how to read a study. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I thought some of y'all might be ( Read more... )
