    Good QUOTES

    Another favourite of mine,to paraphrase Douglas Adams, and used by me when clients want everything box shaped... "What Most people really want is rigidly defined areas of creativity "

    Aspergers Jokes? Communication enablers or beyond the pale?

    The type of thing is like this funny but deeper truth joke here... Not about Aspies Man goes to a synagogue for the first time and is surprised during the service that every time the rabbi mentions Moses, everyone moans and rolls their eyes. He doesn't say anything then but when the service is...

    Aspergers Jokes? Communication enablers or beyond the pale?

    The world seems seriously short of Aspergers jokes. Laughing AT Aspies seems common in the wider media with the infamous 'sheldonitis' skewing things but are there any good Aspergers jokes that illuminate the condition to the NT's out there without making us look dumb?

    Anybody know about graphics tablets ?

    Search ebay for secondhand wacoms. The bamboo is a perfectly good one and the wacom intuos draw is about £50 new if you search. Be aware that old wacom pens have the rubber grip on the pens go sticky over time. Not a problem but feels odd. As far as size is concerned, even small (A5 or A6)...

    Cheapest price for an entry level Windows 10 Laptop or even a Mac?

    Dedicated graphics cards are unnecessary for the vast majority of users unless you video edit Full HD lots and lots. The latest intel processors with inbuilt graphics are far superior to earlier versions and will easily handle most tasks EXCEPT for latest games in high res. You can even do...

    Cheapest price for an entry level Windows 10 Laptop or even a Mac?

    Dell often have clearouts before Christmas. Though 'Black Friday' (another american anachronism in my view!) is in a couple of weeks, I have found their best deals are about a week later. Once got a stunning deal on an XPS for 30% of the price they originally launched at around early December...

    Should I be trying to get into part time paid employment at 40?

    Putting a computer together in 25 minutes is EASY. Find some people with old ones and practise mate. Most if not all of it is one type of screw and some flippy bits. Used to work doing up computers and most of it is plug and play. NEVER stripped a wire or physically rebuilt anything after...

    Are you creative or do you lack imagination?

    Well.. I am creative every day. I design, invent, use computer controlled machinery for hobbies, paint, sketch, draw, develop new projects. I'm good at 2D and 3D computer graphics, presentations, writing proposals, design logo's, write strategies. build furniture, catapults and odd mechanical...

    Virtual worlds!

    Gave second life a go a few years ago but laggy connections, empty worlds and appalling graphics meant it wasn't for me. IMVU seems to be getting some heavy criticism from users. Personally I like Open World Games such as red dead redemption and GTAV and am counting down the days to Red Dead...

    Finally realised I was HF Aspergers

    So here's what happened to me.... Because I was good at communicating things by computer, but getting crap from my Head of Faculty when I was a Teacher, who believed my resources and talent could not be communicated to others so was brilliant (His words) but useless, I set up a website with my...

    Anyone use 'ABC' to describe their Aspergers to NT's?

    I don't know if its a real thing recognised anywhere but i find this 'ABC' explanation the best way to communicate to NT's what my HF Asperger's is like: NT's typically follow the formula, if your good at A and B, then you must also be great at C This has led to me constantly being labelled as...

    Finally realised I was HF Aspergers

    Hello there... I am a person who is trying to get a late diagnosis in my mid 50's of Aspergers and finding resources are amazingly scant here in the UK in my neck of the country. Despite working in education for many years, never realised I could be Aspergic but now it fits like an old glove...
