The feelings are intense in the house that the two nephews are inside of now because the music is getting very loud especially for the Aspergian. In the middle of the room stands a woman so pure and so simple and dark skinned. She has beautiful brown eyes, dark hair, and wearing clothes ready to go to the carnival for her land.

The person seems very glamorous and shiney yet she is so lonely at the same time. The aspergian feels the same love inside that his uncle felt for the latin woman he felt for as well. Yet, the nephew doesn’t realize that there is a woman back in Aspergia that is in awe of him just like with the Great Aspergian himself.

The two nephews walk to the carnival with the latin woman while both the nephews start noticing how whenever this latin woman walks, she shines.

She is like an angel that the two nephews notice are a part of them now.

The carnival was like no other the nephew from Aspergia went to before.  It was loud, noisy, and many people everywhere all over the place.   The nephew from Aspergia stood by the boats where not much was going on while the nephew from the Land of Latin danced all night long.  All of a sudden, when jeers and saddening from the nephew from Aspergia was feeling, the Latin Woman who brought them to the Carnival approached him to talk and find out what was going on.  Why wasn’t he not having a good time? Besides it was his trip to find out more about people and interactions to complete his Uncle’s Journey.

Anyway,  as the latin woman approached the nephew of the Great Aspergian, the Great Aspergian and his latin woman wife approached within the starry sky looking down crying. All he wanted was to complete his journey and he is hoping his nephew will do it yet the nephew is struggling more than he did.  A tragic scene that he wants to stop.

So, the current Latin Woman says to him, “What’s your name? I never introduced myself, I am Juana.  Please, how can I help?”

The aspergian replies saying “Well, my uncle was the Great Aspergian and I want to complete his journey, but I don’t think I have the strength in me that he had in him.”

Juana: Well, my baby, I give you this because it is a symbol of what gave me the strength to live after the fallen death of both of my parents some 10 years ago. Its yours now” And she handed him a symbol that he recognized almost immediately, It was something that the Great Aspergian was wearing when he met the great and Latin Woman wife and child before he went to through the gateway to the hallway of other lands of people.  It looked like a necklace with a symbol of star of some sorts.

Nephew of Great Aspergian: “Thank you, by the way my name is Edwin.”

Edwin and Juana begin to take each other’s hands onto the carnival’s dance floor while in the moment sparks burst in the sky and the stars are as bright as the sun.  Edwin looks up in the sky and sees an image of his uncle and wife smiling.

Juana starts dancing taking Edwin’s hands and placing them on her waists and shoulders. Juana is showing him how to salsa.   Edwin is very klutzy and odd at it, but Juana is dancing with him anyway trying for him to get it right.

By the end of the night, when the fireworks end the carnival, Juana kisses Edwin even though Edwin lets her only kiss him on his cheek due to extreme eye contact and touch problems.

Edwin and Juana walk on the beach and wind up sleeping on the beach the whole night gazing at the stars.  Edwin sleeps dreaming about what this trip will accomplish for himself, others, and with getting the world back on track in order to fulfill the Great Aspergian’s Quest.

The next day Edwin wakes up startled because he didn’t realize he slept on the beach with Juana next to him with her arm over his shoulder.  So, he jumps up and says “let the journey begin today, Juana, let the journey begin today!”

And so Juana gets up annoyed and the boatship is on the water ready for lift off as the other nephew from the land of latin walks in to the boat as well.

The latin woman’s nephew slept not too far from Juana and Edwin since he was on the beach as well.

The three of them get on the beach and set off on the boat. They speed up on the water till the boat starts floating in the air.

The next journey will be heading to the land where the maltese dogs are to meet someone else to take them trough the rest of the journey.

(For that, see you next time on the Aspergia Greets….)

We move forward in life, not backwards. Things happen that way for a reason.  We use our talents in life for a reason.  You can ask a series of angels or even the eternal one, but you will find that you will get no responses since you are to live your life without asking for answers, just finding out the answer yourself.

Many people don’t realize that life’s journey takes a second or two for each second of each day to happen and before they know it, things are over.

I was very sick and feverish last week for 3 days. The 3 days of NO ME could be considered the 3 days of darkness.  Since every one was probably wondering where the heck am I.

Today I go back to work after the 3 days of NO ME and wonder to myself what are my co-workers going to say to me and act towards me whether very angry or just fine, I’ll have to deal with it.

I never know what exactly to say sometimes after being sick with a fever because I don’t know if people even believe me that I get really sick when people just get an ordinary sick temperature.

Anyway, all I shall say is that the eternal one got me sick for a reason and that was because he knew that there had to be 3 days of NO ME.

All I can say is that I and a friend wrote a story for a contest in Writer’s Market Magazine and we just need to edit it now.  I hope it goes well for that.

I can’t say much about it except, IT’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Anyway, gotta go,

The two nephews walking down the beach of the land of Latin.  One a nephew of the Great Aspergian and the other a nephew of the Latin Woman.  As they walk they don’t even realize the relationship that they have together.  They are distant family members, but not blood related.

The first day they decide to set their eyes on a small house just off the outskirts of a city in Land of Latin.   The Land of Latin is so beautiful with its many different hilly areas and palm trees, and other interesting landscapes.  There is a big mountain in the distance that they call now Mount Aspergia.  Even though they are not in Aspergia at all, they changed the name when the Great Aspergian came.

In the far distance lies a shadow of a man with cane and very grey white beard with long hair.  He begins to walk towards the two of them with utter speed in his old bones.

The old man comes finally to them as they both meet, “Hola, I mean Hello, I know the both of you.  I worked with your uncle (pointing at the nephew of the great aspergian) and I loved and worked with your aunt (pointing at the nephew of the latin woman).”  Then, they look at each other and the old man says very whispering “I tell you our little secrets, but first I need to tell you something very important. We never finished our mission and now it is time nephew of the great aspergian to finish our mission of people relatedness. You have however long it takes you and however long you learn it for yourself, but at least you have someone to guide you and teach you as well.  I suffered a lot young men, but you do not have to suffer the way I did. Me and my old deceased friend K knew this day was coming and created this for you, our little present for you (pointing to a hot air balloon, but the hot air balloon keeled over and deflated immediately). NO, I can’t let this be.”

The old man suffered greatly even more and started begging to the one up there not for this to happen since this is the mission that needs to be fulfilled.  As he says the last words of “let the mission prevail.” He keeled over and died.  His body was washed away in the ocean disappearing forever, yet a star emerged in the sky during the brightness of the sun and the star clashed with a bigger star that shine so bright.

Then, the two nephews walk into a small house where there were twelve Maltese dogs barking and rummaging around for the old man who was their owner.

That is when a emerging woman came through the door and showed them a cemetery in the backyard where there lied a huge unicorn walking in the yard.  The unicorn pointed in the distance towards a tunnel that they will be traveling down since lately they don’t want other people following them into the other lands since this is to complete a mission that the Great Aspergian was supposed to complete, but had not had the chance to.

The carnival in the distance is lit and there are fireworks everywhere in celebration of the tour through other lands by the two nephews.  Aspergia Greets begins…They walk into the tunnel and the first place they land is in the middle of another home in another part of the land of latin.  They can hear the carnival more and more, so loud that the nephew from aspergia can not handle it.  So, a man walks in and so let Aspergia Greets begin with a Carnival at the Land of Latin.

Neurotypical or on the Spectrum, we are all different.  Yes, I am Asperger like my peers and Yes I have similar or the same neurological symptoms as them, but we all have different expressions of the same genotypes.  A phenotype is the expression of a genotype or gene.   They say the earlier the intervention or the detection of something utterly wrong, the better off the person becomes later in life.  Asperger people like myself will always be one step or a few steps behind everyone else, but that does not mean that we eventually won’t get it.  If you take for instance one person with asperger syndrome who has the same gene as the other asperger person, that one person expresses the gene differently based on their life experiences.   People on the spectrum like myself who have sensory problems and do not get the proper treatment for it, will suffer greatly with their behavior.

Temple Grandin is an example of someone with High functioning Autism (not aspergers) who when I read her book The Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships, I realized that she has made great strides in life to adapt and try to overcome her obstacles of autism.

When I first met Michael John Carley, I didn’t think he had aspergers because he seemed so neurotypical, but then when I was told he is an actor and he in fact did have aspergers, I was like wow I admire that.

Temple Grandin stated in her book Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships that “Sensory issues must be addressed with people on the spectrum so that people on the spectrum are not expending all their energy dealing with the invasive world around them…As well as Rigid thinking is not just an autistic trait - apparently its hard wired in all of us. ”

Its a great book and everyone in the world should READ IT.

I am a very visual person and see things that way.   If I can learn in pictures, then that is best for me.  Most Neurotypical people learn by having to read and read trying to understand something that is so simple to me just by looking at picture.

That is exactly how I learned the Human Anatomy, I studied the pictures without reading  paragraph description to paragraph description over and over again.  I also learned to scan the heart by taking to specific to detail on how my teacher was teaching me.  Sanford Brown was good for me because I would not have met the people I met on my externship who taught me.  Basically when I came back home from lectures at Sanford Brown, I would go to my room look at pictures of the materials, go through the books and find all the pictures first, study them, and then I understood.  If I sat down and read and read nothing would seem clear to me.  Some things I do read if their is no pictures at all, but that is a bit harder for me and then I must draw my own pictures.

Take a look at the 5 senses, Smell, Touch, Sight, Sound, and Taste.  There are problems in all areas of the senses with people on the spectrum.  The smell and sound of someone that passes gas is the funniest laugh to me.  Everyone on the spectrum has one sense that affects them the most, mine is Touch.

anyway, aspergia greets is on the way soon,

Is this a busy time of year or what? For some reason, the week after New Years is the busiest time of year for the Working Environment.  I guess it is because people want to make up for being away on vacation.

The Quest for and of the Great Aspergian’s nephew

Ten years later after the Great Aspergian and Latin Woman left there seeked another form of the Great Aspergian lying on his bed in the land of Aspergia. He was lying there wondering into the ceiling about how he is doing poorly in middle school and thinking about how he can do better in school. His amazing abilities are that he can memorize and understand the human body more than anyone else can in the world.

He is only 12 years old and reads technical medical books like Gray’s Anatomy in which it took him 30 days to memorize everything in the book. He made his father buy incredible books on the circulatory system and its main pump, the heart. He can understand things like how blood pumps, moves through the body, and comes back to the heart. He found materials in the land of aspergia to create himself a magical wand that can look inside the body. He realized that in order to get a picture he needed some kind of visionary material like a TV to actually see the picturs of his own body. He began building what others would know as an Ultrasound Machine.

He bought books about physics and through trial and error, knowing his way around learning what most people have trouble understanding without a teacher, learned physics on his own creating his ultrasound machine 8 years later when he was graduating high school in land of Aspergia.

When he graduated high school, he started attending an elite aspergian university where he took his machine and started performing scans on himself. At first, he didn’t know where to put the transducer or wand he created, but through the help of friends he met at the university, he learned it. Ultrasound has been around for a very long time and the Great Aspergian found that many people were impressed by his knowledge base and one man found that he can use the Great Aspergian’s knowledge in the clinical sense.

Although the Great Aspergian’s nephew knew that he didn’t quite fit in well with people since he spent all those years reading and reading. So, he had to learn every aspect of people. This led to a mystery where the Great Aspergian disappeared in to the wild.

No one knew where the Great Aspergian’s nephew went. Only to realize that he went on a quest just like the Great Aspergian himself did some years ago.

He entered out of the university grounds and back to the aspergian land where he found the door that would take him to other lands.

He figured that now is the time to take himself and his stuff on a quest to know what people are like and learn about people and making friends.

The University officials contacted his parents that he left the grounds and is missing.

Before entering outside the door of Aspergia, a symbolic butterfly came by and was pushing his hair around. Then, the butterfly turned into his Uncle, the Great Aspergian and next to him stood the Latin Woman wife and child.

The Great Aspergian put up a sign that read: Go to the Land of Latin where you will meet a man that will take you around to the other lands and will help you learn about people.

Then, the Great Aspergian, Latin Woman, and their child vanished in mid-air.

The grandson walked through the door with his trunk filled with clothes and books walking down the hallway. He reached a old door that was filled with dust and a sign that read, “We love the Great Aspergian” as all the doors said the same thing, but this door was the only dusty door. He walked through the door and stood a man beside the water on the beach saying, “Nice to meet you, nephew of the Great Aspergian. I am his Latin Woman wife’s nephew.”

They walk along the beach and away they go on the quest to learn from people just the way the Great Aspergian was trying to learn.

(That is it for now)

Concept

by  Jason Ross

Realize
Memorize
Conceptualize,
that is the question.
Future endeavors
strive and strive,
for the greater need
and the greater deed
of life is like the
smallest fraction
of our own lives.

My love
My love,
reaches
performs
seeks
the promise of a good future.

One who strives
for perfection,
one who strives
for the reality
of just existing
are the ones
in this world
that feel,
think,
breath,
eat,
drink,
and croak eventually.

The final stage of
life  tell us
that it is time
to ascend to
heaven
where we
will be greeted
and amoured by
the eternal one.
That could take
a while since
life has a
growth and
maturity level,
for people
to gain,
and people to
gain at seeing
who they can become.

Triumph comes
eventually when
the time is right
and the time
is there.

Concept comes
afterwards when
we have triumphed
and seen what
we’ve become.

Our concept
comes to us
while we think
of the life we have
built upon us
and changed us.

There are many people out there that I can help out too.  The question is how can I help myself first.  There are many things and many ways that we can help ourselves.  Life is a focus on the positive and not so much the negative.  Even though negative stuff happens and some that is really really bad, we still need to block that out and get all the positive energy in control of our own life.

There are probably a bunch of people that I have come across that seemed to channel negative energy to me, and I need to not think of that anymore especially when it only hurts me. Though, some people believe that certain people do that for a reason to test us and figure out if we can block it out.

What about you? Can you block out the negative energy and stay as positive as you want to be?

People test me and test us all the time.  I guess the idea is to not get all upset.

Anyway, we all can help one another out in some way.
