expectation by Donna Williams Those who have been close friends with me will know I have an extremely poor sense of my value to any other human being.

Tony Abbott: pedophile priests, sexual assault and Rape Island

March11

056997-tony-abbott We all have around 4 main personality traits out of the 16 listed by Dave Kelly. It is these main defining 4 personality traits that shape our most dominant motivation patterns. And no matter how we try to hide or obscure these, no matter what self-serving bias drives us to identify otherwise, it is these main 4 personality traits that will ultimately ‘leak’ through. Even if we erase them from the lines, they will continue to have a presence ‘between the lines’. Among these 16 personality traits is a personality trait called the Inventive trait.

Autism, musical ear syndrome and musical hallucinations in language processing disorder

March3

Feeling music by Donna Williams We all get earworms. I do too. But this is rather different to having the equivalent of a radio program in your head. I feel I’ve had my own invisible iPod all my life because I have always had music starting up in my head, including to the degree it got in the way of learning or processing external sounds… or perhaps it filled that gap because I couldn’t.
