    How to eat healthier with aspie food texture issues?

    I've always had really bad food texture issues, which limits the variety that i eat. Problem is, now i'm overweight so i want to lose weight and eat healthier...which feels next to impossible with the food texture issues. The go-to advice of 'eat more fruits and veg' seems impossible when i just...

    Watch as Tesco worker lets autistic Caleb have a go on the tills

    I was thinking the same thing as some of the above people. She might get told off for it. For letting the child behind the counter, which could be seen as security risk. For making the line go what must have been terribly slow. Customers probably complained, too.

    This is getting repetitive

    I feel like i'm just being whiny on here but you guys have yet to get pissed off about it so until you do, I'll just keep venting here. I just feel like such a dead end. Like, if i had only learned to drive, it'd be more bearable. But i never did. Hell i have a car but i haven't ever learned to...

    Autistic woman at ASDA told to put her shopping back after struggle with self-service checkout...

    That was my point in my post somewhere above. They are expected to help the customers. I work part time at Walmart. They're there to help them with whatever problems they're having and they're encouraged to check out customers on the cashier's register at the front of the self checkout (albiet...

    Has Anyone Else Suffered From Discrimination At Work?

    *cue facepalm* Of COURSE you were slow on the till, you were new! Damn. You're probably better off not working for them if they're that bad at being managers. I'm a cashier and it took me a good month before i was comfortable with everything. There's just so much you need to know that you don't...

    Autistic woman at ASDA told to put her shopping back after struggle with self-service checkout...

    This is a case of a terrible employee, not a terrible business. I work there. They were the only ones that would hire a dumbass like me with no prior job experience and all the **** that comes with undiagnosed, unreported HFA/AS. They just hire ****** people - like this woman from the story -...

    Autistic woman at ASDA told to put her shopping back after struggle with self-service checkout...

    Good god. Walmart has better standards than that! I would know, i work there. We have self check out machines and the cashier is expected to be polite and patient and helpful with everyone. If the customer has an issue, help them scan their stuff! Explain it to them! If its something simple like...

    HOW llegal...?

    I'm confused. How is your using a username for signing up illegal? What are you signing up for? I use my internet name for internet stuff - all my internet stuff - but i never use it in real life for real life stuff. Did you use a fake name for a real life type thing? Cause that might be illegal...

    Just an update

    Yesterday was miserable. With the stuff going on locally, and personally, plus the supervisor i hate being present at work yesterday, i was just miserable for half my shift. This supervisor will bark orders and assignments at me from halfway across the front end right as i clock in without so...

    No Idea What I'm going to do After School

    Society and teachers and some parents will insist that you must know what you want to major in and do with your life at 18, and i say they are flat out wrong. You literally go from having to ask the teacher permission to go to the bathroom one day, to, the next, being expected to know what your...

    Do you have problems falling asleep?

    You just mean regular melatonin right? I live in the US and we can get that at the grocery store just fine here. You don't mean like some special, souped-up version of it do you? Cause we have like 5mg pill bottles and such of it over here available to just pick up and buy. Why is it on...

    Do you have problems falling asleep?

    Oh hell yes. As a kid my mom had an early bedtime for me and I constantly got in trouble for staying up later after I was put to bed. She claims I stopped taking naps unusually early as a baby as well, and never took good naps to begin with. Nowadays as an adult I just stay up till 1-2am no...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Simply, really. I just watch whatever i want to. Tv series on netflix (criminal minds, bones, etc), anime (dubbed or subbed), and the occassional childhood movie. Granted i usually watch tv or movies on my laptop at home late in the evening after work, so there's no one around to make fun of me...

    Thinking About Living As Hermit

    I'm not subscribed to them but there was a channel on youtube of a family that lived in a small house on a nice sized plot of land farming, living off the grid i believe it was. I just remember they wanted to grow most of what they ate and that they lived in a very small house, very simply and...

    Why All The Love?

    Its good that you're recognizing these issues now and acknowledging them. I know a middle aged adult or two who behave similarly and are very immature in that they won't even acknowledge their poor behavior. Do you know why you behave this way, though? Are you fishing for opinions, or fishing...
