Anime Spirit

Cartoons from over seas on the cartoon network and copied onto DVD’s and VHS. The determination of the heroes or hero is not giving up and doing whatever it takes to defect a more powerful enemy. Every one can take that into there everyday lives especially the Autism range. The enemy for us is the outside world and interacting with it. The world is more powerful but we can find a way to interact with it. We can break away from what’s confinable and become independent; it’s up to us to find a way to do that. Life is all about completing one challenge after another. Make sure your confident enough to stay calm and deflect whatever life throws at you. If you want visit this web page www.Dragonballgt.com. Go to shows to see other Anime programs done by funimation. I’ve seen some of them but the Dragon ball series is my favorite. There are some things I don’t get about the show like talking animals that stand upright but the action makes up for it. Its okay, have Anime Spirit just don’t fight anyone. You don’t have powers, play the video games. Do I really have to go on with this?

Delhi (The Beginning)

The era is the 90’s, the era where two major fears didn’t exist yet.

I had friends but only few in numbers and kids my own age at church. We didn’t get together at all. My friends would play guns outside and ride bikes. We would also play video games. I was introduced to Armor Core, a video game, Anime Dragon Ball Z and penny candy(Not chocolate coins but candy costing a penny) I was fooled but it ended up okay, the candy was good. During that time when I was in groups I would sneak off alone and the common think to be said where Nate? There was a time where I didn’t know I had this, only the bipolar systems. I would only talk about myself before learning to ask a question or two. Sometimes I wonder if not knowing would be better but how would I learn to communicate in top form. The trip to the place where I found out that I have High Functioning Autism and I thought I was there to deal with my deep depression I was having. After nine years the time has come to move, we said our farewells and Woodstock came are new home in 2000. In the school I did talk two people that could be friends but graduation killed that spark. I even joined a group for people like me. I went over to this girl’s house from the group but that ended. I had another kid from the group come over but that ended as well. I have been alone for a long time since around 2003 when school came to a close. I had my parents and family but come on. I meet this guy who is connected with the women who started the group and he was on hard for me to lose weight, buff up and practice my bamboo sword training. Mastering the sword training he had me in one of his videos he was making. Losing 20 pounds and getting stronger, it wasn’t easy and this guy lectured me the whole hour. The neat thing was he is on the range of High Functioning Autism. This information had to sink in a little bit. Another chapter has closed and now I am in Middletown, alone and still walking off alone but I’m trying to stick with it. I talked with great people, short but better then nothinge group but that ended. rateion killed that spark. for people like me. k

The chicken nugget story

I was cooking small pieces of chicken in a frying pan tonight and suddenly had a memory. My mom used to make chicken nuggets. One summer weekend, when Nate was four or five, we had a large number of extended family over. Several aunts, uncles and cousins were seated around the dining room table. We had chicken nuggets.

Nate was a very easy going kid with a contagious laugh. He didn't call much attention to himself and went with whatever his older siblings were doing. That night, however, Nate suddenly made an announcement, a way of saying "hey I'm here, look at me." Instead of eating his chicken nuggets, he started putting them on his head.

Cousins were laughing hysterically. Nate, clearly enjoying himself, put more chicken nuggets on his head. Now the adults were laughing. Mom was trying to get the grease out of his hair. Nate was grinning at his own spark of spontaneity.

A good memory, made me smile (:

Epilepsy

A couple of years a go I heard “Bring me to Life” on the radio by Evanescence and was introduced to a great singer Amy Lee and a great band. I really liked this song and I had to get “Fallen” (albums name). I remember listing to it down on vacation in Virginia Beach. “The Open Door” is the name of there new album, coming out two years ago, never getting the live album “Anywhere but Home”. The Open Door is another great album and I believe Amy lee wrote all the songs by her self this time. Checking the webpage www.evanescence.com I notice something I wanted to check out.

Epilepsy is her Foundation found under Community on the webpage. Reading all of Understanding Epilepsy I now know what it is. “Effecting about 2.7 million people have it and nearly 181,000 are diagnosed every year”. I gave you pretty much the line from the Understanding Epilepsy page; visit the webpage to learn more. There is two links one at the bottom where it says this webpage is presenting by and at the end of the Understanding Epilepsy article. Out of the shadows is the name of it because people don’t know what it is, maybe this will help.

Dream A Little

I wonder what it would be like if all the young adults suffering from some aspect of the Autism Syndrome would connect with each other. Maybe create a community where they could be together......with independent jobs, maybe, and a room of their own, but a community space, too, where they could play video games and listen to music and watch favorite t.v. shows. Maybe a counselor on hand who could gently guide them if life got complicated and if they needed some help to cope. Dream with me.......there are millions of you out there. Feeling frustrated and alone, helpless to make life the way you want it because there is nothing out there for you. Wanting to leave home and break away from your parents but not really feeling able to do that - financially, emotionally. LET'S UNITE!!!! LET'S CONNECT! LET'S TALK!!!!!!

Answers

1) Funny, nice, charming, musician, sensitive

2) I imagine five years from now that I will have a wife or a girlfriend and a likeable job

3) The battle of the ages, It will be a close fight with blood and some deep wounds. The setting will be a pirate ship because the ninja lost the rock paper scissors. It was done quickly and it was not a friendly game. I say the Ninja wins because the pirate wouldn’t know what a Chinese star is. He’ll be like “what is these, arrrr you kidding me?” The pirate loses and sinks down in the ocean.

4) I have to say my favorite show is Smallville because of the action and the deep drama. I’m also a Superman fan, I have the recent movie.

5) This was pretty tough but I came up with an answer. My favorite song is “Give In To me” by Michael Jackson off of “Dangerous”

6) I want them to understand about me and people like me are that we need friendships and relationships just like anyone else. We just have trouble getting it for ourselves but we’re just like everyone.
