It was Monday, August 15, 2011, just a few minutes after 4:00 pm, and I was in Wood-Ridge, New Jersey, walking down Highland Ave, trying to clear my head. I found myself heading down the same path that I had discovered while wandering some months earlier, also trying to clear my head. As I crossed 7th Ave, heading towards Valley Blvd, suddenly, the sky started pouring rain, and water started to quickly pool on the sidewalks. I had no umbrella – only a jacket and a baseball cap to protect me – so, I started to get uncomfortably and soaking wet, especially my boots.

I originally posted the following information and statement onto my Facebook wall…

Aspie Quiz:
http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

My Chart:
2011-03-19 - Asperger’s Syndrome Quiz

My Results:
My Aspie score: 162 of 200
My neurotypical score: 36 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie.

These results are not at all surprising, as I was officially diagnosed as Autistic over three years ago, at 26 years of age.

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Claudia C…

2010-12-23-discussing-restructuring-in-upcoming-dsm-v-as-indication-of-major-paradigm-shift-in-field-of-psychiatry

Claudia: That is good article!

Narcissistic Disorder to be Eliminated in Diagnostic Manual:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/30/health/views/30mind.html

Rayn: Hmmm… This will be happening in 2013. Meanwhile, the DSM will be doing the same thing to Asperger’s Syndrome in 2012.

A Powerful Identity, A Vanishing Diagnosis:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/03/health/03asperger.html

With all of this restructuring taking place, it would appear that there is a major paradigm shift underway in the field of psychiatry. I wonder which corporate agenda is being served this time… Probably the pharmaceutical industry, again…

Claudia C.: it seems that the only entity benefiting from these changes are indeed the pharmaceutical companies who are not capable to admit that the drugs they are producing are not safe. If they have an altered dsm to this point they can easily claim that the drugs are efficient as opposed to dangerous and inadequate.

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an ex-acquaintance…

2010-11-17 - Brainstorming Autistic T-Shirt Slogan Ideas

Daniel Sz.: A Facebook friend and I have been coming up with T-shirt slogans supporting neurodiversity. Here are a couple of mine:

“I may be autistic, but I can still tell when I’m not welcome.”

“I’m autistic. How many apologies are enough for one lifetime?”

I invite people to help me come up with more.

Rayn:”Neurodiversity is the Spice of Life.”

Rayn: “Allergic to Small Talk.”

Claudia C.: I am Aspergian, not stupid.

Gerald N.: I am autistic. Get over it.
