| I really enjoyed the book Freak, Geeks and Aspergers syndrome. But someone told me that the author Luke Jackson committed suicide. I hope this isn't true. Does anyone know? |

| This site has a really good article called "How do you know if your child has autism?" It puts all the jargon aside and really explains what you're like to see. http://www.nlconcepts.com/index.htm |

| That is an absolutely unfair and a very "not nice" thing for her to say. First of all, unless you have another child on the spectrum, it is impossible to recognize the signs of autism/aspergers. Actually, even IF you have another child on the spectrum, people are all so different it's hard to compar... |

| Make it VERY casual. Wait until about 30 minutes before lunch and then casually walk by one of them (as if it's by chance) and say "Do you want to grab something for lunch today? I was thinking about going to ......" |

| I feel for you as you're in a difficult situation. You're right... women can be vicious, especially when they gang up together. Is it possible for you to get the support of your manager on this? One example that comes to mind is that they will lose power if forced to work on different shifts. Is the... |

This is a part time position. Must be able to provide work electronically in eps format.
The images we need are fairly simple but do contain people.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thx! |
