Passion, Brant Hansen, and the Holidays

Everyone is passionate about something. Most people are passionate about more than one thing. I'm not talking about life goals or mission statements, I'm talking about fun. That thing you just love that maybe you don't see another purpose to except for fun. That's what fandoms are to fangirls (and fanboys). We're not weird, we're just passionate about something different.

Aspies can be even more passionate than Neuro-typicals (the official term for people who do not have Asperger's or autism). Whereas NT's are interested in lots of things at once, Aspies can devote their full attention to obsessing over one or two topics. We are less widely obsessed, but more deeply.

Brant Hansen is a Christian who has a radio show/podcast and a blog. He is awesome and funny, and he has Asperger's too! Here is a link to his website so you can check it out:

Thanksgiving was just two days ago, which means that it is officially the holiday season. I've already had my first Sausage Cheeseballs of the year and watched Muppet Christmas Carol! What are your favorite holiday traditions?
Until next time,
Semper Fidelis
