Over the last year, I've had to face up to very stark realities. Prior to that, I tended to try and shrug things off. The biggest overall acceptance was I decided my strength in life would be to be self-sufficient and not to rely on other people - even family. I attempted to develop self-acceptance,...

Some thoughts on a random person I came to know who seems to have Asperger Syndrome. It illustrates some harsh realities - especially how those who really are high-functioning autistic differ from the media view. When I first encountered Mr Pickles in my local shop (now closed down), he struck me as...

I had a feeling Quiet Voice bought into the Jewish conspiracy line, which is why I ignored the question. Maybe two years ago, I got banned from the David Icke forum for "wobbling" the anti Jewish members, given I know a fair bit more on ancient history than they do. They had no answer to m...

The fulgurator was a priest who interpreted the areas struck by lightning for omens. A bit like reading tea leaves. Bird flights were studied. Sometimes the psychics accurately predicted future events such as the Trojan War as a ten year conflict. As for Apuleius, I have his huge witchcraft case to ...

As to things getting "bumpy" it's a good thing I wasn't based in Australia at the time of the hysteria. Had they knocked on my door to arrest me for having left the house, the response from my part would have done John Rambo proud, I imagine. Seems to me, though, civilisations decline. I'm...

Candid, you may recall Richard and myself did oppose the vaccine but we were both cynical over hard core conspiracy. I myself figured there were opportunists who were raking in dollars by vamping up the great plot agenda. I distrust evangelical leaders, more so from the U.S. For example, David Ickes...

The much proclaimed but unexpected New World Order looms,don't you think? It seems the U.S.A. is finally facing a fall from global leading status, which is seen in (1) possible defeat by Putin in Ukraine and (2) strained relations with Israel. I connect this to overall decline in the U.S. as a democ...

“Disability scholar Runswick-Cole has pointed out these terms (neurotypical or autist) can be divisive, fostering an “us” and “them” mentality. She denounces a dichotomized view of the world where you are either “in” or you are “out”. I agree mostly. I do think, though, there's a big problem where n...

For a long time now, I’ve been trying to define a more accurate distinction between the neurotypical and autistic identity, also pondering the problem as to whether autistics can be defined paradoxically as a “social group”. In my view, Jaensch came very close with his integrated and non-integrated ...

Western psychologists seem unaware that very detailed studies decades ago suggest a connection between Asperger's and schizophrenia. If schizophrenia starts in childhood, pretty much the symptoms then are the same as Asperger's. Except....childhood schizophrenia progresses in stages whereas Asperger...
