thinking can be bad for you

[maelorin]

I have been reminded that I have poor sense of the passage of time, and that I may perhaps not be quite as independent-capable as I like to think.

I am autistic, whatever the 'degree' or the 'variety'.

My desire to be independent and have a 'normal' life is very Aspergers. As are some of my failings in the attempt to achieve that goal. Nevertheless, I will persist in butting my head against those walls. Failure is not the same as impossible.

I will have to track down some services I guess. If only to keep me on track.

My desire to be independent and have a 'normal' life is very Aspergers. Actually it's pretty much the case for anyone with a disability. It's just easier to make that assumption in some cases than others. Particularly when nothing seems obviously wrong.

The desire for a 'normal' life seems ot be something that distinguishes Aspies from Auties.

Sometimes the frustration of being 'this close' to 'normal' really hits home.

Come July, my eligibility for the DSP will be reevaluated under the new rules - because they got around to granting it after the date when the government announced the new proposed rules. It just gets stupider and stupider.
