Stepping Through The Prism

Alice stepped through the mirror to find a bizarre world. It has elements that make up this world but jumbled with interrelantionships unlike their counterparts in the real world. I too stepped thru not a looking glass but a prism. I discovered "The Spectrum". In this new world , my world now seems different and interrelantionships are not the same. The labels, The reasons for this and that have either fallen by the wayside or changed. Experiences that never quite fit now do. Things that I have explained away have different interpretations.

This blog allows me to chronical this with NTs and Aspies alike. The autistic Spectrum is wide and long. Within each band of color the variations are numerous. I am of the color of possessing Asperger's Syndrome.

I always knew I was different. I never knew how much and how few people are like me. This story of self discovery will be here as well part of this blog.

For some already the terms used in this blog are unfamiliar. Welcome to life on the spectrum.

ps
NT- neurotypical -ie not on the spectrum
Aspie - someone who has Asperger's syndrome.
