Christmas and OCD

Political instability and increasing cost of life add to Christmas stress. Christmas and another year, in business jargon ‘dead-ends’, everything but a soothing reminder. I hoped till the last minute to make it to Europe. Awareness setting in. God is not done with me yet.At this stage I entrust fully to Him.There is no time for […]

Advent season

 Feeling out of place. This weekend we enter Advent Season. I love Christmas but not in a Pagan country. As usual, this will be the worst time of year to me. I will argue with my wife for not going to Church.I will argue for not being in my Christian country on the coast.I will […]

80’s

Dark times are mostly personal. We can experience darkness in the face of light still, acknowledging the moment s highs. A distressing battle between good and evil. I read an article on the 80s, the decade I grew up in.Despite being my darkest years, there s a big revival currently of the 80s, deemed the […]

Reminiscences

Reminiscences are afterthoughts of memories. In most cases they are of traumatic origin. Reminiscences are deep memories that leave a mark, either good or bad. Memories come and go at any time. Reminiscences are mostly common from mid-life and stored permanently.That explains why the elderly better recall the past vs the present. Another way to look […]

Compensation in Autism

You can reclaim your youth anytime. The 80s were my childhood years, how cool they were yet not being able to make the most of them: little to nothing was known of Autism/ADHD back then, at least in the school system. But music helped me.Although clubs and concerts could be overwhelming, I transformed my room […]

Time in ADHD

Eternity is how the ADHD brain lives up to the Time.  God created the Universe and humankind in the form of Man and Woman. He connected us to Light and Darkness through the Circadian rhythm, daylight to keep us awake, night-darkness to rest. We created Time, He created Eternity. Does Time exist in Eternity? Eternity is how the ADHD brain […]

Passion vs Obsession

The stigma wants that all autistics think the same. That is correct as in the way we think, though most of us have one specific field of expertise, what Mental Health professionals refer to as  ‘One-way neuronal pattern’. A blessed new week to all.I hope… As you know, I’m still stuck in the weekend on […]

Environment and diagnoses

We know that the brain is the factory of emotions, but can natural elements take a toll? I previously mentioned Weather as a state of mind.I believe it is. Every person experiences weather differently, some like cold, some hot, some rain, etc. I fancy mild sunny days. I don’t mind gentle rain, though I dread humidity.Destiny wants […]

Full-time autistic solo travelers

Exploring the many facets of Novelty and Rewiring. People change from time to time.Could Rewiring be time-sensitive? In order to elaborate Rewiring, we can’t omit Attachment and Leaving.Autists get easily attached to things because they become part of routine.By relocating overseas, we can’t pack everything in our luggage.Shipping is the only option although costs far exceed the […]

ASD/ADHD Despair

Foreign environment can help in the short term for PTSD related issues. In the long run, it can take its toll even more so in autism. I m disheartened. I want to leave this place.  The desire is stronger by the day. I m exhausted and scared. And lonely. I feel so lonely! I can’t […]
