Ethan Stranger

Every superhero needs an origin story and I, Ethan Stranger am no exception. While I may not be an actual superhero or have any actual superpowers, there’s a bit of story to my name itself, allow me to explain the origin of how I came up with such an unusual name for a Blogger & understand my passion for sharing my experiences, struggles & achievements with others. You see this Screencap (Below, Left) from “2016’s Doctor Strange”, well look closely & you’ll see a tourist, wearing a colorful stripe shirt, a fedora hat, a backpack & sunglasses & you’ll be asking yourselves that he seems to be more dressed for the beach than walking around some dirty crowded alley, well...to be honest, that’s actually ME , Ethan Stranger, Myself & now you’re asking yourselves, how did a newcomer Blogger become an extra in a neverending superhero expanding franchise? Well lean closer to the screen & pull up some snacks & drinks for it’s time for a story… It was November 2...

Oh, I'm a goofy goober, yeah! You're a goofy goober, yeah! We’re all goofy goobers, yeah! Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, YEAH! I'm a goofy goober, yeah! You're a goofy goober, yeah! We're all goofy goobers, yeah! Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, YEAH! Today I, Ethan Stranger, would like to announce that we’ve entered the month of my Birthday, so starting now, to shake things up, y’all be seeing some more “Non-Asperger Related Blog Posts” for a while. So to kick things off, I’ll be discussing with y’all (nearly) everybody’s favorite undersea Nicktoons Star, “ SpongeBob SquarePants” . For those who recall from my “Bullies Club: No More Blog Post” , I mentioned that I was a big fan of SpongeBob (clearly the old episodes), for I would cite the series and it’s characters any chance I could (SpongeBob played an important part of my childhood as it became a refuge from a reality that I didn't quite understand at the time). I began coming out as a “class clown” and with th...

Today I, Ethan Stranger, will be doing a little History Session about the Origins of Asperger’s (trust me, you might want to read this & don’t worry, there'll be no test, so no need for notes). I feel that this is a very important topic to go over because Asperger’s syndrome is greatly misunderstood and many people feel that it might be a “curse”, in reality, it’s not, it’s just a different way of thinking and seeing things with different obstacles to face along the way. To kick off the Lesson, let’s start at the very beginning, for when Asperger’s was 1st described by “Hans Asperger (1906-80)” , a Viennese Pediatrician who studied/observed autism-like behavior and difficulties with peoples that struggle with social/communication skills and had no intelligence related problems or language difficulties. He also noticed that children with Asperger's had difficulty with their nonverbal communication skills (what their body shows when communicating), had difficulty empathizing ...

Ethan Stranger, signing in... I’d like to report that while my trip back to the States was a success, sadly some things came to an end too soon. Upon our return, my parents and I decided to go through Rapid COVID testing, results came in within hours, while my parents tested negative, I, on the other hand (surprisingly and unexpectedly) tested positive… and I asked myself, how could’ve this happened? I wore a mask, washed hands & face (even showered) and disinfected my phone. So yeah I was quite puzzled when I first received the results and tested positive. Not only that, It has destroyed my time here in the states, as I had to self-quarantine myself for about 10-14 days before I went for another test. According to my parents, it could’ve been a false positive, for again, it was one of those rapid tests and they don't have the highest overall precision. Because of this, I was unable to be active around my own house, or even help my parents. Oftentimes ,I felt like a circus anim...

Consider this to be a follow-up to my previous post, “High School Memoirs: Teachers” , For  I, Ethan Stranger , will be discussing another topic that I’m sure we (including Asperger’s) can relate too and that’s Bullies , for they come in various forms, either students, neighbors, teachers, co-workers or even siblings. I know that many of you have suffered being bullied before, maybe it happened in school, at home or elsewhere, I’m no stranger to this as I’ve also been a victim of bullyism, especially since I’m a person with Asperger's we’ve been considered easy targets for bullyism, especially during Middle School and High School due to the fact that we are still learning about social cues, ways to communicate effectively and learning how to understand and manage our emotions. For those with Asperger’s who’ve been victims of bullyism, allow me to share with you my top 4 bully experiences that I’ve dealt with in the past and 1 opportunity for bully-redemption that I happily encounte...

Today I, Ethan Stranger , will be discussing one of Marvel Comics’ Hottest women (whom in my opinion doesn’t get the love and care that she deserves, hell, she has yet to make her MCU debut). Allow me to introduce to you former ex-criminal, “ Diamondback (Rachel Leighton) ”, who’s well-known as a former member of the Serpent Society & an unlikely love interest to Captain America, 1st appearing in Captain America #310 , created by “ Mark Gruenwald (Well-Known for his Legendary 10-year run on Captain America) & Paul Neary”. I do need to be honest with you guys and gals, I have an ulterior motive behind this particular post and it is to be able to explore this character and her complex backstory, her relationship with Captain America (how it differs from “Spider-Man & Black Cat”) and definitely her looks (while her real costume color is pink, these 2 top picks show it being purple, guess it all depends on who’s the inker, right?).            ...
