Most, if not all, people with Asperger's have their own little world in their head. Sometimes we withdraw more into it, and sometimes we are more in the real world. Recently, our dog went missing. I should be in tears, but I'm having trouble feeling much of anything. It's not that I don't love the dog, it's just that I'm very withdrawn into my own world right now. The fact that the dog is gone doesn't really reach all the way to me right now. It seems very disconnected from reality, because I am very disconnected from reality right now.
Music really helps me feel the appropriate emotion. When events in life can't reach me on their own, music can help me connect the events back to reality. Right now, I'm actually avoiding music a bit. I don't want to fully grasp this situation until we find the dog.
I really do hope we find him.
