The Journey of the Xenoi §
The contributors here are aliens or strangers and other people concur with that. That is what Xenos (or the plural Xenoi) means in Greek. We welcome your reading! ¶
People like us are often called little professors, but deep explorers and observers may be more accurate. This often manifests in verbose monographs on a variety of subjects as opposed to terse or monosyllabic and navel-staring blather. We don't do comments here, but we will write at length, as in the explorer artifacts listed below. Click on the linked titles to see more information on each topic. ¶
Another Way of Looking "Sigma"
Pop-psychology has created easy-to-identify “personalities” that are named after greek letters: alpha, beta, gamma, omega, and sigma, among many possibilities. Most of those who could identify as “sigma” people can also be readily seen as Xenos. ¶
Seemingly Autistic but Not Disabled
Many xenoi either have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or are suspected of having this or related disorders by themselves or others. The main thrust of the Xenos term is propagating the idea that most of the traits of the “disorder” can be veiwed as positive and even profitable attributes. This website exists to provide a platform for Xenos thinkers to display their perspectives made unique by their “alien” experience. ¶
Explaining Mister Xenos
This is the founding document of the Xenos concept. The idea of redefining those who displayed traits of Asperger's Syndrome but should not be viewed as disabled all began here. ¶
Xenos Explorations §
Don't Count On It
This all revolves around “God Loves Me” thinking. God has standards for the blessings he provides and far too many people think that these standards don't apply to them or their situation. ¶
Being a Lone Wolf Xenos
Here is the idea of Autistic people being what is commonly called a Sigma male or female. ¶
Commitments Shown Through Priorities
We show where our hearts truly lie through our priorities. My interfaces with Sandia National Laboratories have reminded me yet again that individual priorities have grown divergent, especially in the face of updated “social norms” (downgrades). ¶
Earning God's Trust
If one wants purpose and meaning in life, one has to look not much beyond Jesus' parable of the talents and see the reward of earning the Lord's trust in doing his work. ¶
Enthroning Inborn Temptations
Everyone comes into mortality with problems and hang-ups. The hallmark of a fulfilling life is how we overcome our handicaps and often how we wrench out accomplishment in spite of the things with which we struggle. ¶
Inspiring Gospel Self-Instruction
Those who are teachers can go a long way toward encouraging and cheering better gospel learning outside of the classroom through creating an environment of sharing. ¶
Quit Finding Yourself
It is fashionable these days to take copious amounts of time away from needed development so people can “find themselves”. It sounds good but this often ends up being a lot of wasted “navel-staring”. ¶
The Difference Between Early Childhood Education and Child Development
There are two dominant ways to help parents try to mature their children. I am obviously a proponent of the one less utilized. ¶
Tools of Empowerment
In any endeavor, one must put forth some effort to stand out from the crowd. There is always limited resources and limited time and both must be used to best effect to accomplish one’s goals. It is vital to gain experience and, ultimately, mastery of both resources and time in relation to yourself and others so that you may be in control of your life and influence others, rather than be controlled by others or simply by circumstances. ¶
