    Strange arm/hand/foot positioning?

    Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but I am pigeon-toed. While it is pretty natural in general if I simply stand (without corrective insoles) I occasionally twist my foot around. Basically, both feet can go completely backwards. It might just be a boredom thing. Sign someone else up...

    Anyone else feel like they're gross?

    Usually, I do quite well with an occasional cleaning of my space, but these days, everything feels pretty pointless. To make matters a bit worse, the trailer does not have garbage service, and no running water or sewer, so cleaning is rather difficult. That said, my father is a legitimate...

    Too late go back to school ?

    Unless you receive a full-ride scholarship from a university, you might want to start out at a smaller community college. You can get your associates' degree pretty easily this way, then transfer to a university once you have the bulk of your requirements out of the way. It would also suit your...

    Disclosing diagnosis to employers

    Rich Allen is incredibly correct in suggesting reading up on company policy. Reading up on the American Disabilities Act would also be useful, since most company policies simply reference that. There should not be any issues, most smaller institutions will not be awful about it, but it is good...

    Simon Sinuk on the Millenial Generation

    It is a little tiresome to hear so many of the same ideas so many times. You could even hear these discussions while growing up, if you paid attention. The critique of overpraising. The snark at plastic trophies. We are all here, on this forum, because social media is a useful tool. It helps us...

    Hugs? Cuddles?

    Hand-to-hand-contact is much worse by my standards, but hugs can be pretty bad too. The only person who can hug me without any pretense is my partner. Associates/Coworkers/Friends must all ask first, and be able to take no as an answer. I used to be much more accepting, and even sought out many...

    What should be the symbol for AS?

    Probably not the sort of voice you want weighing in, but I am non-binary, and like the dandelion.

    How To Proceed With My Aspie?

    Firstly, his emotional investment does not have to have romantic overtones? Affection and sexual contact are not just romantic things. They are what they are: Affection and sexual contact. They can have friendship connotations if that is what is agreed upon. The same goes for saying, "I love...

    How To Proceed With My Aspie?

    Disclaimer: I do not do romance- at all. Friends-with-Benefits, queer-platonic, just-friends- all yes. Romantic relationships, no. That said, the relationships I do have are happy and communicative ones. So. First off, sit yourself down with a beverage of your choice, and answer some questions...
