I actually read an interesting article about autism and atheists. The part of the brain that process religion and faith in an aspie' date=' doesn't function like those who aren't on the spectrum. It goes in hand with their very literal and logical thinking. So she's absolutely not alone. <b>And as parent of a nonbeliever, neither are you :)</b> I'm glad you can find comfort in this forum.[/quote']

I should clarify, I am not a parent. But there are several parents of nonbelieving aspies out there :)

I'm not a parent of a non-believing aspie....I'm just a non-believing aspie.

Damn I just outed myself. Feels good.

I always knew I liked you for some reason....now I know why.

I've taken that AQ test many times ....the one mentioned in the huff post article. I usually score 38-40. Laura-Ven says I'm still ok....she would know I guess. There's one question in that test that usually makes me laugh out loud....the "would you rather go to a library or a party" question. In high school I went to the library many times when I was supposed to be at a party. But I never went to a party when I was supposed to be at the library...like most kids did.

I do not have aspergers, BUT once when receiving the results of those corporate personality/workstyle tests.. the test administrator pulled me aside and suggested I get tested for it. I do not believe I have it, but I definitely have many of the characteristics.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
