If you’re here, I’m guessing it means you’ve found my weird little corner of the internet and have some questions. That’s okay, I have a few of my own. Like, why am I able to write and publish whatever bubbles up from my fevered brain? I mean, having a credit card and email address (what it takes to get your own domain) seems an incredibly low bar to enjoy the capability to put shit out there for the whole world to see. But I digress.
So, what’s going to happen here? Basically, I’m going to focus on my experiences of being neurodivergent; aka being the titular socially awkward weirdo. That’s not really a new situation, I’ve been one all my life. But, as I have finally realized I can’t avoid it any longer, I’ve decided to lean into the weird. And, I’ll warn you, right up front. Well, kind of up front. It’s going to be pretty swearey. If that’s a problem, well, now you know.
What are my credentials? Well, in my 30’s, after an “interesting childhood”, I was diagnosed Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, aka ADHD. And, a few months ago, I found out I was gifted with a lovely little side helping of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). So, yeah.
I’ll be honest with you: I have no idea how long this shit will last. I mean, I’ve got ADHD for god’s sake. If I can maintain my interest in this for more than a month, I’ll be elated. But, what can you expect here? Fuck if I know. I’m going to try and keep the focus on what it’s like to be neurodivergent. In America, generally. In the South, particularly. And, because I have ADHD, you’ll likely get some off-the-wall shit that has absolutely nothing to do with neurodivergence. Like, at all. But, hopefully, it will be amusing. So, buckle up fuckers, and enjoy the ride.
Kudos to you for being a firefighter. That is a great profession.
are these two kids from the partner you’ve been with for 20yrs? do you live together? haver you had sex with her?
your first error is to spread YOUR interpretation of the gospel. scripture is of no private interpretation
why should anyone listen to you? how pompous.
My friend, I said I’d been a firefighter for over 20 years. I’ve been with my girlfriend for 3. I will say my children are from my marriage which broke quite a few years ago. The other questions you raise are personal and I won’t answer them on a public site. As for the interpretation statement, we all interpret scripture personally; it is impossible to do otherwise.
As for my pompousity, personal bias prevents me from weighing in on that question. I’ll have to let others judge that aspect of my character.
In regard to ‘we all interpret scripture personally’ I have a couple links for you to check out: http://www.catholicapologetics.info/apologetics/protestantism/read.htm and http://www.catholic.com/tracts/assurance-of-salvation also http://www.thecatholictreasurechest.com/errprot.htm I hope it helps you with that journey toward the ‘narrow gate’ – Matthew 7:13-14 May God Bless You 🙂
Love your neighbour Jason. Love.
Not only is that good. In some cases it’s a miracle.
I think this is great, thank you!
I am a “trained theologian” and you couldn’t be more right on if you had spent three years and 10’s of thousands of dollars. Thank you

Man! I just found your blog (and I don’t even remember how – ADD much?). Each time I come into contact with someone like you I feel like I’ve found a “member of my tribe”. Your story is similar to mine in many ways and I am enjoying reading what you have to say. Keep typing.
I appreciate the endeavor to advance Kingdom. Having read your post slamming the Body Parts videos, the strategy of guilt-by-association won’t work. The pictures are real.
This is a topic close to my heart cheers, where are your contact details though?
