Thankfully, I never experienced this in school. I had very supportive, loving teachers who understood how much I wanted to learn and enjoyed learning. I think the other students would sometimes tire of my questions, but I usually ignored them because I knew there was nothing to be ashamed of in havi...

This is really helpful and a nice, detailed overview of why it can go so wrong for people in autism in the workplace. I've been bullied and fired from almost every job I have due to issues relating to autism, despite being "high-functioning". In college, my professors loved me and would tr...

I don't have social difficulties so much anymore. I've kind of learned how to small-talk and find that balance of contributing and not contributing.

I was completely happy to be diagnosed and it was a huge relief to find out and discover that I had autism (or, then, Asperger's Syndrome). I suddenly had answers as to why I was different, why I couldn't relate to people in the same way, why I was being so mistreated all of the time at work, why I ...
