Part 5- How to introduce and implement these concepts with your Manny partner.

And considering the huge misunderstanding we’ve all been submerged in for years, this is true. But like with anything, you can get stuck on this concept, or you can realize that it can change in different circumstances.

Part 4- Why this theory has the potential to help all Mannies
The common thread, the center of it all -Manual Brain Processing. *Please note I am attempting to simplify the most abstract of concepts, not intending to generalize* THIS IS THE ONE thing that BINDS ALL MANNIES TO THE SPECTRUM. This is why I believe this theory can be applied to EVERY Aspergers. If they do not manually operate their brains, they are not on the spectrum and they Have an automatic (Neurotypical) brain. That’s the one thing that ties them all together. They all have different symptoms, behaviors and levels of functioning, but THIS is the one that ties them to the spectrum. The thing that makes it hard, is…

Part 1- Bridging the Gap-Automating the Manual Processor- The experience that changed our lives
*Edited in May 2020 Its been months since we’ve had our discovery and each day we face more issues that can always get boiled down to this theory.

My next mission is to see how I can apply and help my two sons. Because for the first time, I can finally put into perspective just how HARD the journey ahead will be for them, and I want to give them every tool I can so they can be…

My Journey of healing, health, and self-love.
Here I am just feeling myself today. No Snapchat filter to remove my wrinkles and make me look ten years younger. No makeup. No false eyelashes, no lip plumping. My freckles are out, my thick arms, no supportive bra, my birthmark on my shoulder that looks like a bruise, I love her too. I love my skin, and my beautiful brown eyes (in case you’re wondering because I am still obsessed with my blue eyes contacts) Now I dress myself up because it brings me joy. But I’m perfectly content with who I am naturally. TL;DR I get super vulnerable with ALL of you. I love myself and I’ve beat…
