Pulling Back The Curtain …

And this, ladies and gents, will be the end of my old-blog-reposting-binge.

This one is of particular significance to me, as it’s very much -about- me. As some know, (and perhaps, some don’t) I was diagnosed with Asperger’s as a child — around 8 or 9. It has made certain things of my life interesting. I can’t say it was ever truly severe, though, my mother worked with me extremely diligently to see that I was able to overcome most of its drawbacks and social shortcomings.

The one part of me that’s always baffled me is the portion which I’ve only been able to call, (most humourously) Vulcan. (And, maybe some Jedi for good measure — naturally, without the awesome accoutréments.)

So, without further explanation — a scene from a restaurant. Specifically, my last all-employee meeting in a restaurant at which I worked prior to my relocating to LA.

I was thinking in particular about the way I handle emotions today. Sometimes, I make rather strange work of it, even though I haven’t realised it at the time. My ex especially accused me of this — and of the many things which he accused me — that one I’ll give him. I do go about them a bit differently than most at times.

In part, I blame the Asperger’s. Sure, one part of you may be pure genius, but the other is kind of lost over the most basic interactions.
