| I've been working for RGIS on an on-call basis since December 2016. I tend to wonder why they keep calling me back when I make so many errors. I'm always 1 off in the counting. Over and over again. I don't understand how it happens. Clothes on racks are especially hard to get accurate. I'll scan som... |

| I had been lucky to have government contracts that keep going from one to the next for the last 2 years and 4 months. Now it looks like I won't be called back because I was on another contract when they hired other people for the contract I was on before. That's timing for you. This was one of those... |

| At least one person on here responded with: "everything." I'd like to add to that. I hate everything about myself and I hate the ground that I walk on. I hate myself so much that I can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror. When I get old and die, I want pictures of me and every single sign t... |

| I personally wish that songs and movie/tv scenes would stop getting stuck in my head. The very second somebody says a certain word or phrase, the song and/or scene pops in my head. If somebody said "Help me," the Beatles song "Help!" will start playing endlessly. If somebody said "rosebud," naturall... |

| I personally envy people who have kids and who make good parents. I will never have kids not because I don't like them but because I'm too incompetent to raise them well. Let people who are capable of holding down a job for a long period and can provide adequate income to do the child raising. Let p... |

| Personally, I feel like giving up in this crummy job world because employers always manage to find a way to stab me in the back. I worked a contract doing data processing work from the start of September until the end of February. My contract was supposed to go until the start of April, but as I had... |

| Depending on the night, I can fall asleep in an hour or sometimes it can take two hours or more. It's hard to turn the brain off to sleep mode. Once I fall asleep, I sleep fine without waking up until early morning. When I wake up, I'm wiggling again. |

| I've gone through life with great difficulties staying still. Even with stimulant medication (Concerta), I'm still moving 99% of the time. In bed at night, my legs and/or body often move back and forth. If not that, then at least one of my legs makes an off/on twitchy movement. Sometimes my body goe... |

| Roger Bannister doesn't sound like someone who could be Asperger to me. I've read about him. I don't know why anyone would get the idea of him being an aspie. And Jonathan Mitchell is right about Autistic Spectrum Disorders doing far more bad than they do good. A combination of Asperger, ADD, and De... |

| Mitchell seems to be trying to send the message that it's impossible for people with Asperger to be successful and if they're not like him in every single way, they couldn't have Asperger. I do sympathize with his bitterness over not succeeding as much as he would have liked to, but he forgets that ... |

| Where'd you hear about Spielberg going public with his Asperger's? If there's an article about it on the web, please point it out to me. |
