[RobynTashaYa]

We have our final tutorial of the year in just under 2 hours when we hand our essays in. We’ve had a run, showered and now ready for breakfast (we’re growing girls). But before we go Sal joins me in wishing SF and ‘Lenny the Lizard’ a GREAT HOLIDAY and an AMAZING 2018!

We’ll catch up with CG, RT, LS, Luv2bfkd, Glad and others later.

 

[cgraven]

Morning Robyn. Go get them, best of luck with your presentation.

 

[RobynTashaYa]

Ok, work handed in. Going for a meal tonight to keep eyes on my friend

 

[cgraven]

Be the big sister Robyn and keep an eye on the younones. ish

 

[BritSal]

“Big Sister?” I’m older than her! Lol

Had a good evening and John was a gentleman. We’ve agreed to meet again after Christmas. He’s a graduate from West Point based with our academy so he can get the ‘feel’ of the British Military (although he is half British). He has his eyes on joining NRR.

Both of us are on the rebound and neither of us wants anything too heavy but we both need a bit of fun.

Watch this space.

silly girl big siblings have very little to do with age, or size for that matter. I met my little brother back in 03 when we deployed. Had never seen him till he was sitting on a bunk getting ready to deploy with our unit. He was a mechanic and didn't know 1/4 of our mechanics names. He was young and skinny and I was about 3 inches & 30 lbs bigger than him.
I was a devout introvert back then I might not have walked across a room to throw a blanket on a burning peorsn because that would have been a lot of social interaction for one week. But for the strangest reasons I found myself on his side of the bay with my hand out to shake his.
It took.... probably a whole 5 to 8 minutes for use to deside that we were long lost brothers from different parents. I'd love to say that I mentored him and groomed him up to be a great soldier but, that's not what happened. Instead we wound up take ing turns being the big brother. I taught him some stuff and he taught me. We never kept track of who owed how for buying lunch last, or who loaned who a few bucks to get something for loved ones back home. He pushed me in the right direction to join the SCA and get back into leather work, to start smithing....
Im a good bit older than he is but I'm as much his little brother as I am his big brother. Sometimes it's just about who has knowledge in what field. And sometimes it's just about who is providing over watch. I think that's what CG ment.

 

[cgraven]

Sal Sounds like you had a good time last night, A west pointer well done young lady. But Raven is correct a Big Sister or Big Brother has little or nothing to do with age. Just someone looking out for you and I cannot think of a better person to be youBig Sister or Partner in crime Than Robyn.

Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's, is a developmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.[1] As a milder autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it differs from other ASDs by relatively normal language and intelligence.[4] Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and unusual use of language are common.[5][6] Signs usually begin before two years old and typically last for a person's entire life.[1]

This is not a bad explanation but there's a lot missing from it.
I bring it up because this was an undiagnosed hurdle for me, one of many. When I was 6 my Dr. Figured out what I had and how bad I had it. Him being a smart man knew that if he actually gave me this label and the severity that I would most likely be sent to a "Special Needs Home". He knew how smart I was(I may have taken apart his light box for viewing Xrays, may also have taken every book on his shelves down and stacked them like a house of Cards and then put them all back in a logical order on his shelves, none of witch were within reach of a 6 year old if they had been standing on the floor.) He figured that I had a better chance if he gave me an indiscript liable that would not have the same stigma attached to it. So instead of being a nonfictioning level of Asperger's, I was Minimal Brain Disfunctionel.

On top of this or should I say before this is was stillborn. In 1974 infant CPR was just starting to be required training in hospitals. There was one person in the hospital I was born in that was trained and he was off shift. Luckily for me My Dr. Knew that the one person who might be able to do anything was visiting with hie girlfriend just down the hall. So I came out before midnight but it wasn't till after two the next day that I managed to continue breathing under my own power for any length of time.
The year before I was diagnosed with MBD I was caught in an undertow and drug over a half mile from shore. At the age of 5 there was no way I could swim well and certainly not well enough for a half mile or more. So I well down (that three times thing is a mith) i probably went under repeatedly for close to 10 minutes before my energy gave out. I remember the last light. My mom who could not swim well enough to save herself came out and go me. Half Swam half bottom walked me back to shore. She was so exhausted that when she got us to the beach she fell right (and I mean just right) on my chest, and restarted my heart.
Soon after the diagnosis I was going to spend the night at my best friends house. I fell asleep in the car on the ride over. At this time in italy there were a group of Terrorist know as The Red Section that were targeting GIs. I had the miss fortune of waking up just as her parents were opening the door and setting off the device. I was standing just outside the car. My friend was halfway up the walkway and then everything was red, orange, building pieces and chaos. My body traveled through the open Car door, through the car, and opened the other door with my back and head.
Try putting all of this on a profile page lol

Sometimes less is better Raven yet in the end we must be true to ourselves.

Now see the defensive sarcastic in me wants to ask the question who are any of us really.
But if you are referring to the definition I found and posted then yes you are right. The spectrum is so large it is easy to get lost and completely miss information you were looking for.

If you are referring to me chattering like a hyper monkey in public about things I've only mentioned in private to some of my closest friends(present company included) I have no clue as to why my brain picked this time and this subject. I've learned to hide it for so long and so well. But I kinda felt like it was needed here and now. And I tend to trust that instinct. It's been right more than logic dictates to be a reasonable amount.
Heck CG I just don't know maybe someone reading from the shadows needed it. I just felt like it needed to be said.

[Wow, there's the Aspe loop if people knew what to look for.]

 

[Raven_Timothy]

It is perfectly normal for a person's to run a loop in their train of thoughts. Almost everyone does from time to time. An Aspe does that loop over and over again sometimes to the point that buy the time the say something the conversation has changed sometimes multiple times. We tend to do this loop 3 to five times faster than a normal person. The downside is that It may mess with response times. The up side is that buy the time a normal person has looked at a puzzle twice we have seen it 6 to 10 times. This is part of the reason that some Autistic kids can do puzzles that many intelligent adults simply can't do. Our mind races over the problem till we see the patterns.
Literally a former of hyper function or hyperactivity.

 

[cgraven]

Don't over think it Raven.

 

[Raven_Timothy]

Don't over think it Raven.

Now THAT is funny CG. Telling someone who over thinks toast to not over think complexities of the human brain.

But i did just have an epiphany that I almost missed while I was typing it out. The fact that it is a hyper function may have a correlation to the Autistic rocking or shaking movements and the fact that Aspes who don't have them have either ADHD or ADD.

 

[cgraven]

Thant is the benefit of not overthinking things all the time Raven.

 

[Raven_Timothy]

Thant is the benefit of not overthinking things all the time Raven.

Hahaha. Thank you CG.
One track of my brain is here at work, one is at home with teaching problems, and most of it is on Aspe overload. Like the fact that it bothers me that we know more about chimpanzees than we do about Autism. True we have learned 4 times more in the last 10 years than our summer of knowledge up to that point.

 

[Raven_Timothy]

You know CG, sometimes I think you pick your words just to watch my hamster run.

 

[cgraven]

Moi Raven what ever do you mean? ish

 

[Raven_Timothy]
