Dear Reader;
So I want to create in language a new opportunity for you, my reader, to be inspired by this blog.
I usually create this space like I am broken and I dump my crap here. I apologise, I am not broken!
To date, this blog has been about as inspirational as dog sick, even my Mum unsubscribed. Really!
I just woke in a cold sweat – 03:40am
It’s all about me, all of it.
Everything in my space, has been put here by me.
I’ll hazard a guess and consider for a moment the Aspergers, the anxiety, they are just stuff I made up.
Not like in reality my brain does not work differently. It does.
More like, I chose it, then I made it a problem.
Imagine the value to science of someone who clearly distinguishes and notices everything about everything.
Then focus this mind on trivial nonsense and have it tell everyone it is broken (and broke – believe me without my credit cards I am pennyless right now).
Do you think Einsten was worrying what the other parents thought about him in the playground when he dropped his kids at school.
Did you see his hair?
I promise not to do that any more, like it matters.
I took a MENSA supervised IQ test last week, then pretended I didn’t.
I failed to make MENSA by a point (because I was busy sabotaging and believing my own crap).
Next time I take the test I will be aiming for the maximum score, 161.
This is not the Mark Ty-Wharton (aka Tinley) you came here to read about.
Did you know, everyone on this planet has a unique place here?
Did you know I am letting hundreds of adults with Aspergers and other disabilities down if I fail to open my transport museum?
Did you know my book has the power to really change lives? (people are telling me their experiences and I am not telling you because it is marketing).
Did you know all the best Internet markters hate me.
I just jibed at them like a jealous kid, then told all my friends EVERYTHING is a con.
It can’t ALL be!
The only real con artist here is me…
Not like my book isn’t great, it will change your entire life.
Like, there is so much more of the amazing Mark Ty-Wharton to give and so much more for you to get.
So what is the Landmark Forum?
Is it a con?
No way!
I have been reading Werner Erhard’s material prior to attending this course.
Werner created EST and the conversation is alive in Landmark’s courses.
The man is BRILLIANT. Not like I am trying to impress him if he reads this brilliant, like pure GENIUS.
The course is BRILLIANT.
You KNOW from reading my work (even my crap) how intelligent I am.
And from my razor sharp focus and from the paradigm of problems, I’ll dig one up if there is one.
So what am I saying?
I am saying I am no longer going to waste my time and yours by writing crap.
I am not saying anything else unless it is worth saying.
I am telling you right now DO THE FORUM. Google Landmark Education. No links, you’ll figure it out.
and I am requesting, if you get this, pass it on and ask someone to read my blog. Not just read it though, please register via Feedburner so I know you are here.
I already told you there is another side to the looking glass,
This is it!
Thankyou for listening
Mark
I was in ASDA supermarket with my partner, a rare occurance, I promise.
We were looking for something.
I walked around an aisle and jumped about a foot backwards with my hands in the air and shouted.
“AAAAAAAAARRGH!” then shaking violently, “Whoa!”
“I know, she’s very scarey isn’t she” the mother of a little girl piped up.
Her small three or four year old daughter was standing in the front of a shopping trolley looking completely and utterly bewildered. (I think).
My partner was looking at me, shocked and bemused.
“Sorry, she made me jump”.
“What on earth was that, that poor child, why did you do that?” Gina asked me. “She’ll get a hang up about it now”.
“I have absolutely no idea”, slightly confused “she just made me jump, it was unexpected”.
Children you see, are terrifying. Even my own children, who should know better.
Why?
Because they turn up in inexpected places without warning.
There had been an apparition of a child face where I would have expected to see an five foot tall adult face.
Who Do Voodoo? You Do!
So they are in my face, invading my aura, hanging off my pockets, kicking my shins, threateing my balls and now, unexpectedly appearing at armpit height with no logical statement to explain what they are doing there.
They don’t follow patterns either.
I like patterns, they are safe.
Even my predictable chaos is patterned and has its own complex structure.
But unpredictable kids!
Go and be hyperactive somewhere else…
See you on the other side of the looking glass,

So here I am driving in my car.
I get that my life is real, I am who I am, I live my truth.
But I also get, that my truth is just a story and I could play the circumstances of my life so many other ways.
Stuff happens, we link the in-between with a story line.
We are not free to act, we act to be free.
Story time…
I am a 46 year old adult male.
People constantly tell me, I can come across as overtly negative. About life, about myself, about others.
I also get that it is NOT part of my story.
I am by nature a problem solver and I also spot detail. If there is the tiniest problem in the smallest detail I will notice (and mention) it as a service to others.
Going to buy a used car?
I am the guy to take with you if you want to nail the salesman on the deal.
Thinking of starting up in business or getting into a relationship?
Or any other area where imperfection would be perfect?
Don’t run the idea by me 
While I make negative statements about things, I don’t tend to dwell on them.
They are a driver for betterment.
The story I have currently chosen to run my life from one moment to the next actually turns out to be a very positive and optimistic one.
It goes like this.
I found out I have Asperger Syndrome a few years back and it makes light of my failures. I get to be kind to myself, accept myself a lot and say it is okay I couldn’t do X, or Z, or even Y.
I also have successes where any normal person would have failed, so what am I really missing out on?
I can be angry and frustrated about my past at times, which comes across as negative, yet is a driver to for the future.
I do determination well!
Does it serve me?
A mixed bag. If I strive to do this better, I can have that.
So what of the future?
Because I have successes where any normal person would have failed, I can play on my strengths.
One of my strengths is, I know I can succeed.
But, can I use Asperger Syndrome as my get out clause?
I could and rarely choose to.
I have Asperger Syndrome, so compared to others I am disabled; I only have limited value as a human being – I am doing my best, poor me.
What I realise is…
Poor me takes more energy and effort to sustain than “what’s possible?”
Part of the problem is, I was born into a society that said it has to be a certain way.
Flying in the face of the conventional (even when I think I am not) has never been easy.
My point being?
Roughly 1% of adults have been diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder, perhaps more?
They need a voice.
A voice with experience.
My story is, I am that guy.
What makes me special?
What makes me the spokesperson for Autism as opposed to the “WE ARE NOT DISABLED” activists who are FIGHTING their cause…
First and foremost, I know I am disabled.
I accept the limitations of having an autistic mindset, in fact some of them are darn right funny.
I accept I am not going to do well socially and even accept some things I say to some people might upset them.
I accept I get fixated on things and see solutions to problems in a very black or white way.
I might even forget to shave, or wash once in a while. I don’t like hairdressers, or dentists. I refuse to take medication and I have very fixed ideas (about a lot of things).
I may even frighten your children, or you – if I pay your kids too much attention, talk to them like they are adults, or find them more interesting than you!
I also accept a lot of the above can be dealt with for younger people with Asperger Syndrome by educating both them and the adults supporting them.
I am very open to the idea I can constantly update my own logical database of possible scenarios to improve my social relationships.
In otherwords I am not waging a war aganst normal people.
But what of the strengths?
Autism has a place in society.
For me, being overtly negative aboout it, is a driver to find a more positive aspect.
I am that guy.
Autism?
Strengths?
Mine?
My ability to write this, open your mind with words, make you think?
Yours?
An autistic mind on your board of directors?
We already know where that can lead!
Type “List Of Famous People With Aspergers” into Google and see what you get!
An autistic think tank?
Where minds meet genius?
Are you ready yet?
See you on the other side of the looking glass,
