Once Upon A Time.

Once upon a time. I was happy with myself and who I was, I was also a blogger then... So here we are...lets see if i can sort it all out again. I've always said I would like to start a blog about being a young lesbian with aspergers syndrome... So now I am.

You can call me Alice. Because that's who I feel like most days. I feel like a lost girl, with a pretty firm grasp on right or wrong, who is wandering through a world that just makes no sense. And lets me honest, she rocks a pinafore and hair bow.

Coupled with being autistic, I live a full and complicated life, I work fulltime in a customer service call center. I have a relationship that is the typical chaos of a 27 year old lesbian... and a little apartment I call my own...

But I'm still living this life down the rabbit hole.

The characters in my wonderland are amazing and one of a kind. I may not have a queen of hearts or a jabberwocky, but i do have a stepford wife for a BFF and my very own Rockstar and Diva. (as well as many other supporting players)

Life is baffling most days. But its definetly an adventure... Thus... here we are... wandering through wonderland together... As I consider how to be Alice.

Bear with me. This will be a journey for us both, and probably the place where I am most honest about what is happening in my head and my heart. Often I put up a strong front about what it means to be an adult woman with autism. But the reality is I am terrified. The reality is I don't always understand the world around me or what is expected of me. So here, on these electronic pages, I will write my own tale of wonderland, the tale of living amongst the puzzle pieces... One day at a time. One faux pas at a time. One once upon a time at a time. Thanks for reading today. I hope to see you again.
