What I Really Do (Aspie Style)

So I’ve seen these things floating around Facebook lately and I just had to make one for Asperger’s. And by Asperger’s, I mean me. I know we’re all different. Enjoy.

About quirkyandlaughing

For 36 years I wondered why I so quirky. Now I know. I have Asperger’s. I am mother to Little Yoda, a sage of a six-year-old. I’m also wife to a “normie” who is extremely patient with my obsessions, anxieties, and Aspergery space-outs. I try really hard not to suck at either of these roles. Join me as I take on the horrors and joys of daily life in world where most people aren’t wired like me. Laugh at me as I try to make food without wheat, casein, corn, soy, eggs or nuts. Poke fun as I obsess-compulse over stuff that rolls off the backs of most everybody else. Because if you, too, are wired for life on some distant, unknown planet, you probably need to commiserate. And you definitely need to laugh.

    Love it! Very cute, quite funny!!

  2. Love it! I wrote that before I saw the comment above. They love it, too, I see. Funny and delightful. Will you make me one?

    • Thank you! Do you mean you want me to make you a different one or the same one? If you want this one, you can just right click on this one & copy it. I’m about to swap it out with another version, so if you want the original, I can email it. Otherwise, you can just grab the updated one!

  3. What a diet challenge! I think I have it bad with milk, eggs, and gluten. Do you sometimes feel the world is coming at you from all sides?

    Liked the pics.

    • I do! The diet is the pits, but I feel so much better that it’s worth it. I feel like all I ever do is cook, however. I think once you remove milk, eggs & gluten, you can handle anything else, because you’re already making all your food anyway.

    I love this!!! Yes, this is so true!! Out of four people in my house, my husband is the only neurotypical. He comes home and the kids and I are all on our own computers. : )

    This is what my house looks like… we dont have a television (because T.V. is a void of distraction for my aspies) so theres laptops, ipads, D.S. and I.T. galore, God forbide we talk to each other…

    You are so welcome. I stumbled here last night…via a twitter link and am really enjoying your blog!
    My husband and I are actually reading “the journal of best practices” together..which is kind of weird to have him read aloud to me, but it’s also really great. My son is 13 and has AS…and like you and the author, when I told him , at age 11…it was life changing. In a good way. I am hoping the book will bring my husband more on board. He’s on board, but I want him to be the capitan sometimes.
    I’m so glad that you have found some answers. Of course, you are still you, but it sure explains a whole lot. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

    • It is SO nice to find answers! The way I see it, everyone is weird. I’m glad I’m weird in a way that is defined because I go bonkers trying to find patterns in things. It’s nice to have pattern for myself. Now I can stop going bonkers :)

      I hope Best Practices inspires your husband to be the captain. It presents Asperger’s in such an accessible & non-threatening way. I think Finch did a great job. Reading textbooks can shut people right down because they make Asperger’s sound so ominous – I like it that more & more people are normalizing it.

      Thanks for the nice comments!

  10. I am so nicking this!! Genius ;o)

    *snickers!*

    Not all of it is true for me, but enough is (especially the “what I think I do” and “what I actually do”) that I just have to shake my head and laugh. Is good!
