| It's been a long time since I've visited WP, and in WP is where I learned about GFCF for the first time. I have a pretty objective mind, and my carreer just improved this trait of mine. Having said that, I want to share my experience on GFCF diet. First of all I want to express my disappointment on ... |

book editors are evil. I've found a lot of books with misleading titles. For example i have a book that is named "Who are you? From personality to self-steem", and all the content reads like a scientific manual on personality disorders.
The editors just want to sell, they don't care who buys them. |

| I had two passions, social work and writing (and editing). I chose the latter. Now was that smart? No. I love writing but the stress and the fact I was told what to write about made it difficult. Exactly my point for this post beckula, I just couldn't realize that was what I wanted to get across un... |

| But the thing is, that this fantasies make the communication even harder, it's a vicious circle. How can you extrapolate your fantasy world into another person and think that you will be able to communicate well? What's the chance that the other person has your same fantasies? None. To be able to c... |

| I just want to say that I was not trying to be an extremist, saying only this one carreer is good. I meant to generalize it more but i always end up with a long post. What I meant is that there are really carreer options that are not for aspies, and still you might want one of those options. For exa... |

| If they have a dream what they want to go for, go for it. Thats my point, we grow up hearing that, but is it really the way to go? What if my dream has to do with a carreer that requieres social skills (as almost all the carreers do). Also getting the best jobs has to do with social relations, know... |

| What carreer should an aspie pursue? I wanted to add my two cents, to a an old thread. You can make innumerable arguments for one carreer or another, or you can choose to say: "You should study what you like the most", but really, is that the best way to go? I have mixed feelings about this, I've al... |

| It comes naturally with other aspies, whom I've met three of. This ease of communication with other aspies makes me feel really good, and I'm eager to find more to make friends with them. I've only rarely experienced it with NT's. thats the point, we can communicate with people with whom we share t... |

| dont pay attention, in every topic theres always supporters and detractors. If you go out to the street and ask people how they feel about an aspie, 1 in 10 will tell you "I hate them", even if they dont know what an aspie is. |

And at the same time, when you look those two strangers (that don't know each other) interact in a public p... |
