Medical science cites 6 hours as the least amount of sleep in a 24 hours period. Autistics may well need 8/9 hours. Sleep affects medication and performance. It is proven that autistics get more tired than the average person.This is easily understandable since every task requires extra planning and decision making.I need at least 8 […]
Medications are surrounded by myth. The reality is that the same formula works differently in each patient. ‘Designer-drugs’ are the future of pharmaceuticals. Medication is a very divisive topic.Implications include religious beliefs, medical ethics, to mention the fact.It is the igniting topic of unhealthy debates between Med-free, New Age Medicine, Spiritual Healing, Traditional Western Medicine […]
Medications reach maximal adherence in synergy. These two emotional states may look equal despite the mechanism of action being of different contexts.Self-identifying is of hormonal origin, mainly adrenergic.Empathy is of brain-circuitry origin, a kind of personality. Autistics score high on self-identifying. Endorphins overdrive is the most common reaction normally leading to meltdown in distressing situations.It […]

Endorphins produce what is commonly referred to as ‘body odor’, thus not of bacterial origin.It is a pungent, chemical, triggering odor.Speculation is that it stimulates adrenaline release.

Some dictionaries give the expression as synonym […]
Always set a goal in your life. Goals will save you in your darkest times. Hope is not constant, some days I lose it all. Hope is the fuel of life: there’s nothing I can do without hope, what I see as the next step to dreams in a more meaningful perspective. The bad news […]
Finding the right support for autistics is vital. Fear can override us and stop us in our quests. Standpoints are supposed to serve Purposes. My purpose is going back home in Europe. Purposes come not without a price: money, economy, family, are just some of the obstacles that keep us stuck.Procrastination too gets in the […]
Just follow your heart. Hope is a big multifaceted word: it reminisces happiness, sadness, hopelessness. I switch in-between. I know it can be a chemical imbalance-I have co-morbid ADHD-though it s mainly circumstantial to me: my only hope is going back to my country with my wife.The chance is 100% economy dependent. Economy is very volatile […]
Nostalgia is one of the main weather related factors to me. Climate change brings me back in time. I dread doomsday. Monday, ‘Transition time’ . I’m in anguish, complicit the Asian monsoon season.
