| I work in health care too and I love it, especially compared to past jobs that were not at all focused on helping people who need help. That I'm convinced I'm doing something good, improving the quality of people's lives even just a tiny bit every day, that makes the sometimes-stress well worth it I... |

| I sometimes have trouble with the massive amounts of fluorescent lighting in my office/cubicle farm. So I bought a pair of non-prescription glasses that have a rose tint to them. It just reduces the amount of blue light and looks like you're wearing glasses that have pinkish lenses. You can find the... |

| So I am 100% positive I am an Aspi but have no medical diagnosis. If I were to get officially diagnosed, are there any treatments that help with meltdowns? Sounds here like docs in general do not prescribe anti-anxiety meds. Which is a bummer. Sounds like an option worth trying. Are there any treatm... |

| Does anyone have any tips for dealing with work bullies? I've got one now too. I tried ignoring the jabs, but not letting her get a rise out of me didn't slow her. Then I thought: maybe my very frowny concentration face and my inability to discern that someone is talking to me unless we are looking ... |

| I hate my voice. I always sound like I'm whining. I've seriously considered trying to go to a speech therapist or something just to change the pitch (high) and timbre (whiny) of my voice. I'm also loud. To speak what is a normal volume to other people I practically have to whisper. That used to get ... |

It's the way he doesn't smile when all the other contestants know the places you're "supposed" to smile (like when watching the competition... |

I've also been in conversations with people where they were saying everyone thinks they're good drivers even though obviously most are not, and they followed up by saying I actually am a good driver.
