Chinese Finger Trap: Resistance is Self Defeating

Chinese Finger Trap: Resistance is Self Defeating

Hello World and True Believers! This is a Lost Aspie Girl and today I want to talk about emotion regulation issues using my own personal experience. I was part of this female trauma group recently. They told us to see our emotions like waves. To ride rather than fight against them. Imagining tsunami like waves (’cause that’s what popped into my brain) wasn’t of much help to me, as it felt very…

Comic Book Vixens

I sometimes wonder why more girls (especially feminist girls) don’t buy comics, especially due to the fact the whole reason the guy who invented Wonder Woman (Charles Moulton Marston) did so to help the feminist cause, which I write about in this post. He thought girls should have a strong woman to look up to the way boys idolized Superman, but it didn’t seem to work. This definitely confuses me,…

The MultiTruth Spectrum Theory (Revision)

The MultiTruth Spectrum Theory (Revision)

The genuine rationalist does not think that he or anyone else is in possession of the truth; nor does he think that mere criticism as such helps us achieve new ideas. But he does think that, in the sphere of ideas, only critical discussion can help us sort the wheat from the chaff. -Karl Popper If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt,…

Neuro-Typicals: Cruelty Couched in Indirect Passive-Aggressivity

I had a guy write this to me today: “I have a Harvard grad lawyer brother with aspie. I’ve seen him watch my mother struggle to get up and do laundry after a heart operation. I did the laundry. Then I choked my brother unconscious. Not sure if there’s a cure short of Pavlovian/Skinner stimuli. Watch them fail emotionally, choke them. Repeat until they associate breathing with compassion for…

Lost AspieGirl Chronicles: The Parental Units

Lost AspieGirl Chronicles: The Parental Units

I’ve always been a bit odd. Most things I do seem to go against the grain of what typically is considered the norm. When I was kid I was a tomboy and a voracious reader. I was a little monkey and would climb trees with a backpack full of books to get away from the world and everyone in it, especially my younger sister (who at that point in time was both my tormenter as well as my constant…

A Lost AspieGirl Transgression: Wanting to Save the World...

A Lost AspieGirl Transgression: Wanting to Save the World…

…thru Population Control! WTF?!😮 When I was 12-13yrs old, after reading various books and seeing several movies based on dystopic and post apocalyptic worlds, I told my parents I thought the world had the propensity to become something akin to the worlds depicted in Road Warrior or Blade Runner. I remember…the concept of the resulting dystopia due to a post apocalyptic world scared the fuck outta…

A Lost AspieGirl Transgression: The Social Faux Pas...

A Lost AspieGirl Transgression: The Social Faux Pas…

…in the Form of a Politically Incorrect (PC) Insensitivity… When I was about 6 a relative or friend of one of my mom’s friends had a daughter who was mentally impaired. All the adults were talking about her and the difficulties the mom had to contend with, raising what they referred to as this woman’s “mentally retarded” daughter. So, when the adults introduced us kiddies to the girl (she was…

Chronicles of a Lost Girl, AspieGirl, Intro Vid

Chronicles of a Lost Girl, AspieGirl, Intro Vid

I thought it might be a nifty idea to start a video diary series chronicling my Lost Girl adventures, experiences…theories and philosophies. I’ve so much I want to share…I’m literally bursting. I mean…up until recently, I thought everyone felt as lost and uncomfortable as me. But I now understand the coping mechanisms and scripts I’ve learned aren’t what everyone else uses to communicate.…

Articulations of a-Typical AspieGirl

Articulations of a-Typical AspieGirl

I used to have a successful career in biotech. That is…was…well, until the behaviors which arose in tandem with my burgeoning career began to impact my ability to function. My issues seemed to worsen as my career progressed, inexorably advancing seemingly of its own volition. The expectation to be more engaged and interactive with my peers, to play office politics and to run meetings and manage…

Social Constructs

You’re a construct… …a conceptual being, intangible and ephemeral. A glossy shell view. I love the way your voice floods my brain when we talk, your cadence and pitch perfectly timed… …a tempo beat. I imagine you like a slightly dulled impression of a memory… …a faded dream. A snap shot Polaroid of that time when you were 3yrs old and your mom chastised you for running up the stairs. ….a…

Lost Girl, AspienGirl: NeuroAtypical Girl Warrior

Lost Girl, AspienGirl: NeuroAtypical Girl Warrior

I’ve learned recently why I’m not built like other girls. My brain works differently. I’m an AspienGirl. A Lost Girl. One of those girls born before 1980 who fell between the cracks. I’m a neuroAtypical. I’ve been given this diagnosis in the past, but I’ve always denied it, argued with my psychiatrist that this just wasn’t the case. Ah… Denial. Almost as blissful as sweet ignorance.😉 I’m told…

The Art of Surrender

The Art of Surrender

To me creating art is about surrendering control. My art…what I write…what I create…I can’t force myself to do it. If I do so, then I lose it. When I paint or when I dance, I can’t think about what I’m doing. I either need to fully lose myself to it…to whatever it is requiring expression…or I need my conscious brain to either shutdown or focus on something else, which then allows the creative…

Pretty Womæn

Why do women get angry when sexy women (especially stupidly, prettily sexy women) use their “feminine” attributes rather than intelligence (or “grit”) to make it to the top, as though these types of “pretty” women are representative of ALL pretty women everywhere? Like it’s their fault their provocative nature (rather than obvious strategic thinking and savvy intelligence) put them in a place of…

Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior. –Socrates I just thought of something. You’re a warrior princess and I’m an Amazon princess. That is going to make such a great story. — Gabrielle – Xena: Warrior Princess William Moulton Marston (pen name Charles Moulton) was a psychologist, the inventor of the lie detector machine and the creator of the Wonder Woman comic book series.

“The Pattern” No one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. — Morpheus – The Matrix Smash the control images. Smash the control machine. — W…

My mind began forming patterns: variables in a fluctuating equation, the component parts of a mobile puzzle. I saw everything - all tangled up in society, its systems, the world and its environs, and denizens of people - as this complicated, interwoven pattern. I could see how everything was intertwined and overlapping. And ultimately...trapped.

Pattern Recognition

“The Pattern“ No one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.  -- Morpheus - The Matrix Smash the control images. Smash the control machine. -- William S. Burroughs Patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns.  If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself.  What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is…
