Bringing A Little Compassion To Valentine’s Day
It’s the week of Valentine’s Day again for the world. For some people, it’s considered a holiday excuse to go out with their significant other and have a good time while for others it’s Singles Awareness Day. In the past, I’ve posted blogs with dating and relationship advice, including specifically for people on the autism …
The Mistakes That Work To Define Me Part 2
My hesitation in writing this particular article comes from the thought that my descriptions here will make people think ‘oh you think you’re so special don’t you?’. Well, if I really had that fear, I probably wouldn’t have written so many articles about my experiences on the autism spectrum. This article is a little different on the …
The Mistakes That Work To Define Me Part 1
Right now, as I write this, a troop called Mistakes are hard at work sending me meaningless reminders, typing up fake news, and having not-so-peaceful protests against the Truths. They’re some of the most hard-working critters in our minds, and we either wrestle with them almost every day, or we let them define us for …

Leading up to the start of a relationship, most people typically form this picture in their heads as to …
Autism And Depression: How Bullying Plays A Part
After a while of not writing any blog posts, I’m back with a new post about autism and how depression has had a history in coinciding with it. Because there are many people that believe that a lot of those with autism don’t feel many emotions, not much thought is given to the fact that …
Autism’s Role In… Social Interaction
I was homeschooled growing up, so most of the social settings I was involved in was church or youth group (which is more or less the same thing, just with different age demographics). After getting my high school diploma, I had the opportunity to get involved in other different social settings like my first job, …
Living With Autism Part 10: A New Hope
Pardon my nerd reference for the title, but I felt it was fitting for this article. So this is the tenth part in the Living With Autism series and some might say at this point that I’m just trying really hard to milk the cow and squeeze as many drops out of this topic as possible. With …
Living With Autism Part 9: Why Autism?
Every writer that pursues a particular topic to write about has to answer the question: why do you write what you write? As I’ve been writing these articles about my life with autism and about the knowledge I have about the autism spectrum, I’ve been commended for being very open, transparent, and honest in my …
