| ... here it goes. It happens quite often: I hear the same music again and again the whole day, which happens in my mind as well - not going to disclose which music I hear as I'm somewhat afraid I can cause the same effect on others. And while hearing music in and out my brain, I also think of a lot ... |

| Last year I lost 4 jobs for various reasons. In two cases, my (former) employers knew beforehand that I was ASD. My first boss already knew my hard, serious, committed work - but he ridiculed me in our last phone call. It was something like "let me teach you again the letters of the alphabet: A... |

| I remember some time ago I created a topic where I told you about an odd characteristic of my health - sometimes I experience a sudden crisis of low blood pressure and I lose my consciousness for some seconds. I AM NOT SLEEPING! I know this because I can differentiate both feelings. However, another... |

| To be honest, your English is quite good for a person whose second language is English. I didn't notice too many "errors" per se. I'd have to really look closely to find any "errors." I feel you should try to contact this woman again. She's been very silent lately, sometimes I s... |

| More exactly, there was at least one boss who was very, very gentle and polite with me when she learned on my ASD diagnosis - she told me she understands the dilemma and would adapt herself so we could keep working together (yes, it was amazing). However, being hired again by her seems unlikely. She... |

| Thanks for your tips, I do need it. I am pretty sure there's a medical condition behind my tiredness which probably began when I was 17 and had enrolled at the college. It lasts until today, causing and raising varying degrees of tension. So far I never addressed it because it never caused any great... |

| Thanks for your support, friends. But I was fired. This is the 4th time it happens this year - not to mention other years. I'm used to be heavily bullied since childhood. Not only bullied, but also all my complaints were received with disdain - according to so many people around me, from kids to adu... |

| I'm trying to answer each message in just one. In fact I was able to find 2 or 3 peers with whom I think I can share some topics to a limited extent. One of them enjoys 80's oldies such as 8-bit computers, and other asked me some questions on old programming languages. I am also talking a bit with o... |

| Today my boss asked me on why I'm always alone, refusing to engage with my peers. He guaranteed me I could tell him anything I wanted (well I hear it so oftenly...) and for one moment I thought about telling him or not about my diagnosis as ASD. Honestly, I ALMOST did it - I was dangerously close. M... |

| I am a pattern thinker. But what you are describing sounds very much like a visual thinker. So in order to learn more about the various Aspie sub tribes: Can you control this? Are you able to turn this on and off at will? What level of detail do you observe. Is it almost like being there, reliving ... |

| It oftenly happens to me - whenever I think of something, such as an old memory, my own imagination, etc. - this image becomes visible to me in a way that I start watching it. That is, at this moment I am looking at my computer while typing; however, if I remember a recent travel to the beach, image... |

I should seek advice, I'm trouble, I think the entire world is a creation of jerks who've united against me. That is, nothing new under the sun - except for one phone cal... |

| Yes, even when I have not a single clue that helps me understand what is going on - my word has no value, I don't understand what's happening, I have poor to no feedback, but just blame it all on me and life must go on. I live in Brazil, and things are harder here. Wish I had a polite feedback from ... |
