Parenting is quite the challenge isn't it? I think that every single parent out there has struggled when raising their children… and this is ok. Bottom line, raising children is difficult, really difficult, and it can get even worse when we don't understand what our child is going through or just don’t understand why they are different from others. Well hold the phone, for I, Ethan Stranger, will  provide help for parents who struggle in taking care of their beloved Child (or Children) with Aspergers, who sometimes, don't even understand themselves. Let’s get started… As I mentioned in my previous post, “ The Aspergers Academy” , I didn’t learn that I had Aspergers until later on in my life. So, for more than 18 years I thought that something had to be wrong with me, there had to be a reason why I was somewhat different to others, right?  So, when I got my answer and found out I had Aspergers I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by shame, and uncertainty, like I was some so...

A continuation from my previous blog posts, “High School Memoirs: Teachers & Bullies Club: No More”, I, Ethan Stranger will be discussing about a topic that I’m sure we (including people with Asperger’s) can relate to and that’s “Love (or whatever we think it really is during our High School Years)” . You see this letter (picture, above) , this was written by my “High School Crush”, we shared 3 ½ beautiful years together (From Late 2011-Late 2014), we gave each cute nicknames, I called her “Girl” and she called me “Buddy”. However she was a grade higher (she was a sophomore back then and I was a freshman), unfortunately we never got to be anymore than friends - but this relationship made me learn a lot about what love is, and how our own perception of it can be different to others.  So you’re asking yourself “How did we meet?” , well it happened on a Friday Night, Football Game (December 2011, one week before Xmas break), I was sitting with some friends of mine, below me was “h...

Poor Steve Ditko , for being such a talented artist, he was a very mysterious person, for while at Marvel Comics, he was well-known for the creations of both “Spider-Man and Dr. Strange (and their supporting cast)”, alongside “Smiling Stan Lee ”, but there were several characters and ideas that Steve Ditko has worked on for Marvel Comics that don’t get the same recognition as they should do, so allow Ethan Stranger, to share with one of the least creations (or works) of his, that Steve Ditko did at Marvel...and that’s “ MACHINE MAN ” Machine Man was solely created by another legendary artist who worked alongside “Smiling Stan Lee ”, Jolly Jack Kirby , who had returned to Marvel in the Late 70s (following his time at DC Comics in the early/mid 70s). Inspired by the flick, “ 2001: A Space Odyssey ” ,Jack Kirby crafted the tale of a robot, the only survivor of a series, raised as a human son of scientist Abel Stack before his death & is now a fugitive from the military after the dea...

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...
