| An interesting viewpoint. Thank you for that. It is not only me having to learn to deal with them, but them learning to deal with me. They are constantly testing me at this point. Today one gentleman flexed his bicep in an obvious attempt to flirt. I ignored him and got advice from my mentor on what... |

| I have a new teaching job. (YAY!) It's at the prison.....(Um, what?) I am teaching the ABC's to felons. Being an aspie, I am finding myself having difficulties being mellow. Mellow is the term given to prison employees that aren't too easy going or too strict. I have to be personable , but not perso... |

| Two things: First, it's actually pretty normal for a kid that age to not be body conscious. You'd be amazed to hear the things I've had to tell my students. "Put your shirt down dear." "We don't touch that part of ourselves in the classroom." "You need to pull you pants up before you come back from ... |

| My favorite way to be alone is to go to the mall and just kind of shadow-walk around. Nobody even looks at you and it's a great way to meditate. Italian saying,"The best way to be alone is in a room full of strangers." In college I had four guys for roommates that I didn't know, just for that reason... |

| What would an autie frog flap if he had the urge? Tongue? Would he want to continually find his own lilly pad because the presence of the other frogs bugged him? What would a froggy savant be able to do that the other frogs couldn't? As a tad pole would he choose the company of big frogs because the... |

| I find it's easier to be around others if you have a barrier of some kind. People probably won't talk to you if you're reading (or pretending to) read a book. My hubby and I are both off of work right now (he's on vacation and I'm unemployed) and he expects me to sit with the family constantly . it ... |

| I lift weights, bike, or do yoga at least once or twice a day. I also follow healthy eating habits. I haven't lost weight but am starting to resemble a female bouncer. I'm starting to think that this is just how I'm gonna be and that ain't too bad. My family must have been laborers over the millenia... |

Don't beat yourself up too much. The world does that enough without us doing it to ourselves.

| Are you sure we wouldn't just be expanding the definition of the word? Humanity, like glass, never really soldifies. It just moves so slowly that we tend to miss the changes from one moment to the next. |

My head doctor referred to me as neurotypical-variant. He put it in the same category of having your heart in the right side of your chest. Not hazardous, not normal, but okay in and of itself.
(My hd tends tends to get caught up in irrelevant semantics, so take it for what it's worth.)  |

| I think it's funny how Klingons act like rude jerks all the time then talk about their "honor" all the time. :lmao: But on his planet it's probably honorable to be a jerk. Kinda like that teletubbie that Falwell called gay because he carried a purse. Granted Falwell looked like a teletubbie, but I ... |
