    Your first job

    My first job was in a cafe. I hated it and quit after about 6 months. My second job was better, working at a TV station in the transmission room. I stayed for 3 years and worked my way up to directing all broadcast/on air programming. I loved it!

    What are your sensory issues?

    Quite a few for me: Touch, I don't like being touched by people I don't know well, and even with people I do know well, if it's unexpected, it burns. I can't touch corduroy or velvet, and I can't walk on dry sand. I also don't like slimy things or raw meat, but I'm trying to desensitize myself...

    hello

    Thanks everyone. I have joined a group for people with aspergers at my local autism branch, which has been great. Still trying to find a specialist who can diagnose me without me having to pay loads of money.

    hello

    Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm in the process of being diagnosed for Asperger's. It is such a relief to know what's wrong with me! Or should I say... what's right with me!
