| If I am actually an Aspie, then progressive rock is definitely one of my main "special interests" (obsessions). I am interested in most subgenres of prog; bands old and new. Off the top of my head, all-time favorites include: Genesis (all the way up to 'self-titled,' and there are even son... |

| BeaArthur, Thank you To be fair to the Regional Center staff, my case worker texted me to see if I got what they mailed. I just replied, "Thank you for your time," because I was still letting the news soak in. I know she is there if I want to call and discuss it. The paperwork they sent al... |
