either, so why am I surprised that I have a son who doesn't either?

Considering I'm weird and Mike's most likely an Aspie, I wasn't

surprised at all to have 2 kids that don't fit in. It's the 9 year

old NT daughter that confuses the crap out of me. She wants to wear

the latest styles, is worried about fitting in, thinks she needs a

boy friend and has a MAJOR crush on Legolas. *sigh* the only part I

understand is the crush on Legolas. ;o)

> Cherokee is much like I was as a child. I mean, the kid talks to

snails and they listen. Everyone that knows me knows that I am just

weird. I try to keep it under control. Sometimes I don't do a good

job.

>

I used to talk to everything too. Not sure they listened...Maybe not

everything. I never liked snails or slugs. EWW!!

I stopped trying to keep it under control. I was miserable trying to

force myself to fit in and conform to society and family's ideas of

normal. My ils are NOT happy with the change but I don't care. I'M

happier now. And since I'm the one raising the autistic kids, I'll

opt for my happiness over theirs. I just don't have time to worry

about being " normal " anymore.

Besides. I do have a book I'm trying to sell, and several short

stories and eventually I'm hoping to have to do book signings (even

though I'll hate every minute of it, it's a part of the job.) and

aren't writers supposed to be eccentric?? ;o) I qualify! (i'm also

rambling but I'm tired for totally off-topic reasons that would

probably bore the rest of you to tears.)

Same here. We have this running joke in the family that she'll

probably want to be a cheerleader and then HOW will we ever relate?

She's a sweet heart and a wonderful help around the house and an all

round good kid, but I just don't understand her most days. Plus,

with her being the only " normal " kid in the family, I don't have a

lot of experience relating anyway.

As my friend (guy) had on his T-shirt " Why be normal? " He was a quiet

weird though.

Well, now everyone here knows my horrible little secrete. LOL!

Hello. My name is Georga and I am weird. Yes, I have been like this my entire

life. No, I don't do drugs. Never did. However if my blood sugar level drops

(I am hypoglycemic) and I eat something with sugar in it I will get much

weirder. Just ask my husband. He said that the last time that happened I

started to scare him. LMAO!!! No, I don't plan on changing. No, I will not

lead the 12-step weird recovery program. Then why I am I here? Hell if I know.

I thought that I could meet other weird people. No, I don't want help. Why

should I conform? Conformity sucks! Yes, I will leave now. Sorry to have

bothered you all.

Uh...

Should I share this?

What the hell.

That last incident where my blood sugar went a little nuts I came up with this

poem a la " This is the House that Jack Built " after I discovered that Dakota

(Toad) had bitten into one of my Power Bars (protien bars, sports nutrition,

great for low blood sugar. I live off the things and protien powder) while it

was still in the wrapper.

This is the power bar that Toad bit

This is the cat that sat on the power bar that Toad bit

This is the piggie that weeked at the cat that sat on the power bar that Toad

bit

This is the girl that petted the piggie that weeked at the cat that sat on the

power bar that Toad bit.

I was going to go on but said he was getting scared. He said I was being

weirder than normal. Something about it coming out of left feild and he never

seen it coming. What? Just because he is an aspie I need to warn him before I

do something weird? I think not!
