| All artists have costs. Saying they are upfront really has no bearing. Anyway it is not a lot, most arts only want $25 worth if prints and we typically split a $250 event between 3 people carpooling, Its a table at convention, and prints for pennies on the dollar. Rarely we stay long enough for a ho... |

| Ugh. On the subject of bladder issues and being a verbally articulate Autistic, I have a few things to say, and maybe some hope. I wet the bed consistently until I turned 12. Due to my stepfather resorting to humiliation, Like locking me outside the house in my wet nightclothes first thing in the mo... |

| That is certainly an irritating case my fellow primate. I sympathize. I am in my 40s I have had over 40 jobs from 25 different employers. One strategy I used in my bullheaded struggle was position hopping. Each time you move to a new job title/responsibility you can use the "learning curve"... |

In 90% of cases I rocked the boat then eventually quit because I refused to let insults slide from those who dared to notice my ... |

| No ASD, disabled, or any marginal group should ever support socialists. The end result is universally to be as inclusive as possible which by definition spreads the wealth which in turn lowers standard of living. Which of course does literally the most damage to those unfortunate enough to be on the... |

| It was bandied about by those close to me after my daughter was diagnosed. This lasted about 15 years. Then apparently when I was being treated for co-morbid depression, anxiety, ptsd, etcetera, I was diagnosed with it and didn't understand that I was diagnosed for nearly half a year. Until I inquir... |

| Sounds a lot like andrenal fatigue. This is more common in people who are over stressed daily, like PTSD, ASD, or other chronic sufferers. No treatment yet so it isn't in the med books/ this not covered as real by insurance. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/addisons-disease/expert-answ... |

| That is a familiar song and dance. In my case, the Autism eventually always wins. I have had 25 employers, in the role of 35 different positions all in attempts to hide my weakness. Also 7 "under the table" jobs makes for 42 failures. I didn't know I had job related ptsd until the therapis... |
