Why I forbid commenting

Mr. Eastwood summed it up perfectly. Autistic AND non-autistic people alike can be very cruel. I don't need any un-necessary pain in my life.
Here is a link to a New Yorker (yes, the New Yorker) article from 2013 on anonymity and the internet:http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/the-psychology-of-online-comments
Disabling commenting stops trolling before it begins. My writing anonymously allows me to share and educate facts and opinions.
God has something to say regarding the power of words (hard-core atheists please breathe deeply or press the back arrow now).
"The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." James 3:6

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." Proverbs 18:21 ESV
The Bible also says words are containers for power.
Scripture blows the "sticks and stones" argument out of the water.

A meme I created just for you trolls:

I will also put a watch over my own mouth when selecting language in my blog posts. I will try not to be blatantly offensive in a culture where everyone is offended by everything.

Regarding the words"ass" and "asshole", the word ass is found in the Bible. It refers to a donkey.

Why do they call a donkey a jackass?

This means that the proper scientific name for the donkey is Equus africanus asinus when it is considered a subspecies, and Equus asinus when it is considered a species. At one time, the synonym ass was the more common term for the donkey. The first recorded use of donkey was in either 1784 or 1785.-from Wikipedia

An asshole is the anus of a donkey. Some people are just plain stubborn and think out of one end.

Those folks will never be welcome here.

I wasn’t meant to be a primary caregiver

As I have mentioned in posts over the last 2 years, my mom passed away 2.5 years ago. Caring for her in her final months was difficult, but doing it as an autistic person 5 days in a row the first couple weeks was impossible. She was in the end stages of pulmonary fibrosis. She weighed 70 pounds and was gradually withdrawing from eating and drinking. She had reached the point where she was scared to be alone. For. A. Single. Instant. I tried to tell my family that this much intensive care for 5 days straight was too much. I couldn't process it. There was no fresh supply of spoons and I was on auxiliary power. I have recently become acquainted with the Spoon Theory. Here is Wikipedia's definition: of the s poon theory: "The spoon theory is a disability metaphor used to explain the reduced amount of energy available for activities of daily living and productive tasks that may result from disability or chronic illness." Maybe they thought because

My autistic brain

Words flow easier if I can create an image or images first. Here is one case in point. I am very grateful for PixTeller.com for providing the royalty free images and designing capability.

The migraine, one of my co-morbids and how it affects me.

I didn't know that the vile migraine had an awareness ribbon and month (June). They are not simply headaches. They alter mood, create nausea and vomiting, make darkness and silence a must, cancel plans and are chronic. My migraines were few and further between as a child (I got about 2-3 a year and had to go to bed, vomiting periodically), but increased in my teens along with autistic regression. I inherited mine from my mother. It is always the same eye. I don't get the the visual aura but I do have the olfactory (smell) phantosmia . Mine are blessedly fewer than 14 per month. My heart goes out to those of you who experience more than 14 a month. Love and support are so very important. My parents were very understanding. My mom had to hold me while I cried sitting on the bathroom floor, head pounding and vomiting into the toilet to the point it had to be flushed at least twice. I can expect them during right before and during my menstrual cycle. Sensory overload and
