Had a little part time job in highschool which I got fired from and it really was pretty overwhelming. Then I did work study in college and tried some job some family members hooke...

Hi :D You are not alone, I also have an anxiety disorder but only recently had my diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome. Wish I had known sooner, so I wouldn't have kept putting myself in the wrong jobs! I am sure you did try, it takes great strength to give these things a go when you have problems with ...

Hiya, I'm autistic myself and setting up a social and gaming group for adults with autism - this includes video games, card games and board games.

At the moment I'm really into instant photography even though I'm really bad at it. I'm obsessed with getting a decent collection of instant cameras! I'm also very interested in politics. I also like computer games especially Pokémon. I set up a pokémon society at my old uni and it was actually real...

From my own personal perspective, I do not even understand what a cure for my autism would look like. The way my brain works is autistic. Autism is a part of my identity. It is who I am. Of course I'm not "just" autism but it's not something I suffer from, it's my personality. And Autism l...
