    Tenth Anniversary
    Morning peeps. :)
  • We did that with our DD too :D
    Much more :money: than filling the bath :rotfl::rotfl:

    My youngest was a prem baby and very tiny and she used to get bathed in the washing up bowl!

    That was 18 years ago! Where has time gone?

    Morning everyone. Hope you all have a good day. I am having a NSD today as loads tp do (unless a major glitch comes about). Thanks to OP re the biscuits & mug shots. Got both yesterday. Also managed some chicken. Finally found the 9 roll loo roll & still compared favourably.
    After all the talk of an actifry gave in & bought one yesterday. I got a lovely black 1.2kg one from argos that is £95, added a couple of bit to take it to over £100 & got £10 gift voucher back. Now I need to test it. Paid for it with nectar points & gift cards from consumer pulse that I have collected over the year but still felt like I was being extravigant treating myself.

    Well I'm not sure what I was supposed to be doing, as I've been off-topic to this thread for the last x number of hours (and to be honest, in the way that only I can:rotfl::p:rotfl:, I'm a little bit tired). I was just searching around in relation to my specialist interest of 'autism itself', and it's not always a barrel of laughs - I should stop reading all this stuff really, because some of it makes me a bit upset when it draws attention to my socialisation problems and that I've never had a relationship in my life. It's a little bit saddening and, I suppose, not always easy fitting in to a world into which you don't always fit. (Is that a circular argument?:D (:D as picking up others' circular arguments and questioning them:eek: is another one of my current on-and-off special interests:rotfl:.)

    But... I'm also reading about my strengths and how some things, like focusing my concentration on tasks for long periods of time, something extremely difficult for most of the population, are things I do far better than 'everyone else'. I think it's a great gift and I rather like having the condition:). Just so typical of me to be different and to have this as a source of some pride and well done to me for having Asperger's:j:D:rotfl::). Brilliant! I love it!:):)
    (Oh, I'm almost filling up a little with tears of joy.)

    I'm so proud of my Aspieness and more good to me!:):):T:T Celebrate yourself folks, especially from someone prone to underselling myself quite often. I'm a bit underrated, but invaluable and useful.

    (Or useless information store if you prefer:rotfl::rotfl:.)

    I'm looking around the web though - and finding very little information and nothing coming back for what's it like not to have autism. Of course, I know what it's like to have it (I thought I was just normal for many decades, just a bit shy, never realised the full details and ramifications of this condition as didn't know I had it). But... what's it like to be someone without Asperger's? How can you go around in oblivion totally seemingly unaware of the obvious spelling mistake in a hundred paragraphs that sticks out with brights lights and a loud beacon over and pointing at it so that's it completely and totally obvious at first glance? How can you just know what someone's feeling from their face? How is eye contact completely maintained without thought and just naturally, and at the right and exact timing for the 'correct' amount of time? And who decides what is "correct"? (All these musings of life..what a revelation to come eh?):)

    Morning all.

    In reply to some of your musings Savvy. A lot of people have what I come to think of as social awkwardness. I for instance come over as bubbly and chatty when people meet me, but I feel self conscious and occasionally a complex of not being as good as others. This often makes me want to not attend certain events, weddings etc. Which of course then causes rows with family and friends.

    My mother in Law for once during a row said she was sick of apologising for me !! Well its not her place to apologise for my what others call social ineptitude. Really if I don't want to attend something I should be able to say no. Otherwise I'm just fulfilling their needs and not mine.

    I think a lot of people suffer from social awkwardness in different forms. What some folk find acceptable others clearly do not.

    The behaviour we exhibit wombling,coupons, even your lists are often met with " oh thats not right" and "I wouldn't stoop to those levels" So in my rambling on I would say there is no difinitive answer to what its like to be non aspergers, because unfortunately there are other crosses to bear.

    There is a saying " but for the grace of god go I" meaning I'm glad its not me. But I have never heard it used for not living with aspergers.

    Your incites into life are very interesting to me also as my nephew has Aspergers, he is so straight to the point he is hilarious. I think like you his curiosity to the outside world is keen as he is now studying social sciences at Uni.

    Take care Savvy
