Oh hey there! Introverts and Aspies do seem to have overlaps. I am Introverted. - I enjoyed your discussion.

I just love Harry Potter! So nice to meet another fan - I am also Introverted - so we have some things in common.

Thanks for this I am Introverted. Yes I was thinking the same thing myself. There are many overlaps!

Introversion and Asperger's....amazing overlaps!

Read this article and replace the word "Introvert" with "Aspie" and see if it still doesn't hold (mostly) true. http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts A lot of the personal memoirs and reflections of self-described "introverts" and "loners" that I have read since my DX, I read and think…See More

Aggiememenon replied to Steph S.'s discussion 'Your bullying boss may be slowly killing you' in the group It Gets Better: Atheists for a Bully-free America

I imagine that those of us with Autism/Aspergers are also very likely often targets of bullying/abusive bosses. I know that's been the case in my life. I probably only managed to avoid bullying in High School because I was part of a…

The dating double liability: Atheist AND Aspie...

Let's face it, we're a minority within a minority. We're already members of "America's most distrusted minority" = i.e. atheists, but on top of that, we're also Aspies on the Autism spectrum.My history of relationships with the gender I'm attracted to (I'm a heterosexual male) has been rather hit or miss. At 40, I've been married and divorced already, and have had some girlfriends through the years, though few of very long duration...so among many Aspergian men I guess in some respects that…See More

Hi there! Thanks for your comment on my page! I listen to the podcasts from ACA and I try to participate when I can. I've been so short on time. Hope you are having a nice weekend.

Theocracy is only a real danger when our technological society collapses due to the end of cheap oil in a post-peak oil world. Until then, we have the Internet to fight teh stoopid.

Thank you, AAI, for the audio recording of Hitchens's acceptance speech that you put out on the Secular World podcast...heroic to the last, that man.

About Me: Long time atheist, was lucky enough to have a Natural sciences public school teacher for a Dad. Religion never had a chance until I studied Postmodernism in grad school; went through a mercifully brief new agey-religious phase then went back to being a materialist and atheist, way more confident and self-assured in my atheism than ever before.

Atheism and Proper Grammar

Posted on March 9, 2011 at 10:19pm 6 Comments 0 Likes

Ok, so you may have seen or heard this headline out there in the Atheo-sphere....

It's not exactly rigorously scientific, I think, but people who have examined data from the popular dating site OKCupid have noted that if you're a stickler for grammar, odds are you're probably an atheist.

To which I can only…

Why Harry Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite.

Posted on March 8, 2011 at 12:27am 1 Comment 0 Likes

I think my favorite film in the whole Harry Potter franchise has got to be The Prisoner of Azkaban. For the sweep and drama, the emotional development of the characters, it does it all for me.

My favorite scene in that movie is near the end, with Harry at the lake, surrounded by swarming Dementors....he keeps holding out, waiting for his father to save him. And waiting... and waiting...

Until he finally realizes that if anyone is going to save the day, he has to do…

No More Free Ning and Atheist Nexus future...

Posted on May 5, 2010 at 7:44am 2 Comments 0 Likes

I didn't see any FAQ or news item address this yet, but I have heard that Ning is transitioning from a free network to a pay network, and I was wondering what will be the fate of Atheist Nexus? I'm unemployed at the moment so this is no trivial matter for me. Are the A|N administrators happy with the Ning decision, indifferent, what? Is the plan to stick it out with Ning, or move to a different free (to end users) service? Or should A|N members plan to pony up $3 a year to continue… Continue

Calling all Texas Aggie Atheists, past & present.

Posted on January 6, 2010 at 11:30am 1 Comment 0 Likes

I am working on starting up an A|N group for Texas A&M Former students who are also atheists. There are a lot of Aggies out there, of course, but how many of us are nonbelievers? I'd like to know and meet you. I'm TAMU Class of 1993 and was a member of outfit Trident P-2.

We hear all about the famous "Aggie Network", but does it really work for you if you're an atheist, or a Libertarian instead of a Republican, or worse, you're a goddless lefty liberal like yours… Continue

I resigned my Library job with TWU in mid-December after my boss and I reached an impasse over what constituted reasonable work expectations for a Librarian I, Cataloger. She absolutely slammed me in my annual performance review with no advanced warning or counseling or anything. She then set up basically impossible conditions, and it was very clear that she was trying to run me off and was setting traps to get me fired. I tried to talk things out with her but failed every time, because her… Continue

Would have taken a lot of courage to leave a marriage. I was agnostic (leaving toxic pentecostal christianity) when I met my hubby (agnostic but had some 'traditional' anglican exposure). He wanted to get married in an anglican chapel at a school he went to. I was happy to oblige (but would have quite happily got married in a garden). My mother wasn't happy about it because 'catholics & anglicans aren't real christians.' Only recently I am identifyng as atheist (that word seemed scary). I ticked non-religion on the recent census, my hubby left it blank - he doesn't think he fitted any of the boxes

Yeah I felt the niche 'Haruhi Suzumiya as absolute goddess unaware of her own power' meme very relavant to both my interests and my life ~ in a comedic way. After all when your surrounded by bullshit, comedy is sometimes the only medicine.
