Is Aspergers or Autism all you are?

Why is it that when I read aspie or autism spectrum people blogs that all they talk about is their diagnosis?  I would like to think that I am more than a person with something.  I am a person.  Yes, I am weird, I always have been.  Who cares why?  I am in my 40s and the fact that I have opinions, a job, a relationship etc do not all boil down to a diagnosis.  It is reassuring for me to know there are others like me.  Very reassuring!  I spent my life trying to fit in and conform and succeed to a set of standards that not only do I not understand, but that I think are stupid, vapid, and frankly wrong.  But that said, why I am the way I am does not change that I am the way I am.  Does that make sense?  I am the way I am regardless of a diagnosis or a title for my "type".  I have to function in this world whether or not I agree with or even understand the rules. 
  My search for a community has led me to all sorts of strange places, trying to find out where I fit in or kindred spirit types.  And now my quest has brought me to the aspie community.  I love reading something that I can 100% indentify with, it's very exciting.  But now I want to read more.  I want aspie people to write blogs about ordinary life.  Day to day, dealing with whatever, just like we all are.  Maybe my quest must continue, because life continues.  I am more than a diagnosis, I am gnosis, and I shall be known.

Monday night

i can drink tonight, i get to sleep in tomorrow!

Reading blogs....all the time.

  I spend a ton of time wandering around the internet reading random blogs.  For some reason I get on kicks of types of blogs to read.  For a while it was Pro-ana blogs, I find them fascinating.  I like to eat while I read them.  Much like I enjoy drinking while watching intervention.  Sometimes I am into fashion blogs, looking at people's outfits and makeup, but it gets tiresome fast.  I always return to the Aspie blogs because they reflect me best of all.  I found a good one today "Femmeburger".  Love her! 
The DIY blogs are inspiring but naturally I never follow through with doing the great stuff they teach so I just end up feeling bad.
  Anyway, that is what I have been doing this very exciting Monday morning.  There's nothing going on here at work.  I checked out the free songs on I tunes and got 2 of those.  Woohoo!  Soon I will revert to solitaire playing as usual.
  Gotta mention too that I ate my lunch within half an hour of being here and now I'm hungry again.  I have more food but since I am trapped here well into the evening it probably wouldn't be prudent to eat it yet......or should I?  These are the fascinating questions that I am struggling with this fine, June Monday.  I am lame.

It's Monday in the big city

Here I sit, bored at work as usual.  Trolling the internet for inspiration and finding none.  Solitaire on my Ipod Touch beckons.  If I could somehow get paid for playing solitaire I would be well on my way to financial independance  Sadly, however, this pie in the sky evades me.
  Tonight is the season finale of the live improvised soap opera that I attend weekly.  After tonight my Monday evenings will be free until September.  That should be just enough time to get caught up on the reruns of Monday evening shows that I have missed the rest of the year.  Either that or I will work more, hooray.  That's just what I was dreaming of, more work.
  Let's talk about my deodorant/antiperspirant for a moment, shall we?  I just bought the new Nivea one that is supposed to not leave yellow stains on my white clothes and not leave white stains on my black clothes.  So far it has done neither of those things.  I actually don't think it's doing anything at all.  It won't leave stains if it's not there right?  I think that's how it works.  You rub this stick under your arms and nothing happens.  It's a hoax plain and simple.  Who do I notify?

Testing the waters

This is a test.  Trying to see who is out there and who will check this out. I'm not sure how this works or even how to see if anybody has checked this out.  Although, really, why would anybody exactly be reading this.  I'm gonna have to think of a theme or a reason to be blogging at all.
  I guess I could chronicle my struggles with weight loss, or lack there of.  But a lot of people are doing that....
  I could talk about Asperger's but I don't know anything about it.
  I like clothes but I'm not sure that I feel like doing the outfit of the day stuff like so many others.
  I can cook really well, but not sure how I would translate that to text and photos and be unique.
I suppose the quest continues to find my voice and vice.
