Autism and ADHD, Experiences and Background

I hear everything the guys in the other end of the room are saying…

Wed, Nov 13, 2013 erk Leave a comment

Before I started medicating my ADHD I was unable to work or concentrate with other people around unless I wore headphones. The problem was two fold. I was unable to filter out sounds in my surrounding, and I kept wanting to answer people’s questions, even if they were having a conversation in the other end of the room.

The first one was a problem for me which I solved with an iPod before I started medicating. After that, I was soon able to get work done even without my iPod.

rip you apart with my bear hands

Bastardization of an exchange from Witches of East End:

When I see you, it’s all I can do, not to rip you apart with my bear hands.

(I just had to add that bear! Grrrowl! :D)

Getting Organized

Wed, Oct 30, 2013 erk Leave a comment

If you are an Aspie you probably have a lot of things. Old stuff you cannot throw away.

Perhaps you collect things? I’ve heard examples of anything and everything from model airplanes, to plastic buckets, to rubber boots, to pictures of horses. Aspies seem to have the collector gene in spades!

As a consequence, you probably have a rather messy home. I know I used to. I had piles of things covering the floor, only leaving small “paths” snaking through the mess and connecting my bed, my computer, the kitchen and the hallway.

Given that an Aspie can get rather stressed out by a too cluttered surrounding or by not being able to find stuff, this is usually a problem that needs to be solved.

Things worth explaining are seldom that easy to explain.

I’m at it again!

After having installed WordPress Multisite I am able to run several blogs without the hassle of having to keep them all up to date!

So now I have moved, or am in the process of moving, some of my posts to other sites:

aspiemind.com – for the Asperger and ADHD related posts.
transverbal.com – for the channeling, religion etc related posts.
mindfulfillment.com (also under construction) – for posts relating to mindfulness and similar.

I hope you’ll enjoy the new blog just as much as the old! 😀

Facial blindness

Sun, Oct 13, 2013 erk Leave a comment

I’m suffering from a mild form of facial blindness. I’ve understood some Aspies does, but I also think some of the cases are linked to my ADHD.

My case is not as bad that I can’t figure out who killed who in a movie, but there are cases where I’m drawing a complete blank on a person’s face.

Science and Facts

Science and facts

Tue, Oct 1, 2013 erk Leave a comment

Even though I like to talk about my own experiences and discuss things from a personal perspective, I also want the scientific side of things.

For me scientific means things that has been peer reviewed and conclusions from experiments where I can study the method and figure out if there was any problems with the experiment.

I’ve come up with this category to keep my personal view and the more scientific discussion separated.

As of right now, the scientific outlook is a bit bleak… there are no posts yet… part from this post.

Crayfish ... or what's left of them after they've been chomped on by a Swede! — Crayfish … or what’s left of them after they’ve been chomped on by a Swede!

So, we have this tradition in Sweden. We eat crayfish… yeah to whomever, non-swede out there that knows what animal I’m talking about, this is like eating locust… Hey, wait… just look at the image… those are the … remnants of the sweeties we like to crunch down on…

Aliens! You have no chance in Sweden! We’ll eat you in August! 😀
