    Can u hold a job?

    The employment statistics for people with asperger's would certainly support that gloomy supposition. But everyone is different. If by some miracle your son can get out of his depression and apathy, then he probably can be become capable of living and working independently. I never could, but...

    Can u hold a job?

    No, like 80-90% of aspies, I cannot hold a job.

    Enjoy-Didn't Have

    Enjoy - Nothing Didn't have - Everything To me, there isn't a single, solitary advantage to having this Asperger's, or whatever it is. I'd cut off my right arm just to be a normal member of society, with normal family and friends. It's pretty much all I ever wanted.

    If aspies don't need reassurance...

    Dunno. I'm not much of one for PMing people and never have been. And I only made this thread 'cos my post was deleted and I was banned from posting in said thread.

    If aspies don't need reassurance...

    Nobody has really answered my question. I'm not against aspies seeking reassurance. I am against aspies making snide comments about "clingy" or "emotional" NTs as they do so. Edit: I dunno. I really really really really don't understand the online aspie community at all. You folks baffle me as...

    Someone called me ugly

    You may be overestimating the "nice" part, unless they actively went out of their way to be chummy with you, say hi, ask how you were doing, etc. Very few adults are openly rude. Most will put on a veneer of politeness, no matter what they really feel about the other person inside. As a general...

    Someone called me ugly

    Were there any clues to this woman's b***** nature before you overheard her? Were there any warning signs that you know to look out for next time? Unfortunately some people are just not very nice. Even more unfortunately, they don't always make themselves obvious. I fell out bitterly with a...

    If aspies don't need reassurance...

    Thanks, Ste11aeres, for at least considering what I said and not insta-deleting it. That was got me wound up in the first place: a (what I considered to be) mild post of mine being deleted. Felt like I was being punished for not being reassuring! For a start, I only reassure people if I really...

    If aspies don't need reassurance...

    ...unlike those insufferably clingy and neurotic NTs (Note: I'm being ironic), then why are aspie forums so focused around reassuring other aspies? I hate the implicit superior tone on forums like these. For all the cuddliness, there is a them-and-us mentality which doesn't sit well with me...

    Anxiety Awareness?

    Skylark - You must be British if you know about PALS? Luckily it needn't come to that, 'cos the IBD nurse got back to say my consultant was booking an MRI scan. Not been given a date, but if it's anything like previous waiting times for tests it'll be about a month. Certainly hope it's no...

    I Don't Get it (NT Need for Emotional Reassurance)

    Okay, well, I've read the replies. As usual I've come out looking like the bad guy, but I'm well used to that by now tbh.

    I Don't Get it (NT Need for Emotional Reassurance)

    Haven't read the replies yet but there are a couple of odd things about the original post. 1). You bought not one but six meals for a colleague whose first name you didn't even know? Isn't that a bit overkill? 2). Do you have a photographic memory? I can't remember what was said 5 minutes ago...

    Anxiety Awareness?

    Thanks Skylark - the same back to you. I don't want to derail your thread, but yesterday my worrying turned into crashing depression, as I was fobbed off once again. The stupid thing is, my most recent blood/stool tests are positive for inflammation. But nobody wants to follow it up further...

    Ever been bullied? What was your best/worst experience?

    Bullied a lot by my 3 older brothers as a child. I don't really want to go into the details, though. At least at school I was largely left alone. One girl did pick on me fairly badly in the first term of high school, but thank god she left after that, otherwise that first year might gone a lot...

    Anxiety Awareness?

    Well, if others think you sound worried, then you probably are worrying - it doesn't matter whether you are facing the issues 'square on' or not. In fact worriers tend to plan for every contingency, because they wouldn't be worriers if they didn't think about the future. As for test results...
