Some stuff about me.

I have PDD/NOS or Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified or High-Function Autism. Not to mention SID Sensory Integration Disorder.

It's hard to be non-overloading here but I also suffer from a variety of LD's (learning disabilities). Unlike as I've been told they ARE lifelong. It's not just a matter of schooling they affect every part of life.

What Are these things?

Well, I don't really know. I keep looking for the answers. I process information differently than most people

How do I process it differently?

I've not been otherwise so it's hard to tell. Though I do have some clues. I don't really know how others process things, so it hard to tell where the differences are.

For one thing I see things rather fragmented and it's hard to tell where things are. I have special glasses for this called Irlen Filters, that are colored lenses made specially for each individual. My lenses are purple - hence the purple page. I see things clearer around purple. Around gold colored things I can't seem to focus on what's there it all blurs out. So I am not a gold lover.

I think in patterns and motion. I don't think much in words. I also don't think much in pictures, so I am far from having a photographic memory. It's hard finding the words to mean what I want.

Do I look different?

Only like everybody else looks different. Though some of my behavior at times looks a bit odd. Some people think I look like a hippy. The only real thing that sticks out to me is: I have two lines on my palms not three (I've heard that that's true for Downs, but I don't know how to find out.)

Do I work?

I own my own business and do karaoke shows. I like music, all sorts of music. Not so much opera It hurts my ears. I like to sing always have. I have a huge collection of songs over 19,000 entries in my Karaoke Songbook. Visit me at Larri's Karaoke.

I have not found that I work well as an employee and have never had a full time job. I'm just not a team player.

I live in a very confusing world. What seem to be easy for others frequently is very difficult for me - somethings are easier for me. So not only do I feel confused, the people around me do also.

I can frequently be found on the message boards and chat of O.A.S.I.S. Online Asperger's Syndrome Information and Support.

I've just found a new website that I thrilled about Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder Web Page
They have a message board and many interesting links.
I am learning all sorts of new things about myself.
