Depending on what we're talking about, I consider my AS to be an asset AND a disability. The new "catch phrase" is "differently abled". My work history, since a decade ago that I started looking for work, has been sporadic at best. I do not think I have earned over 15k in my lifetime, total, accordi...

Greetings. This is as good a place as any to say hello. I'm Kirie. I'm many things, among them, I am an Aspie. Despite the best efforts of my soon to be ex husband, I acquired my official diagnosis, escaped his mental abuse and ignorance, and managed to have a beautiful baby girl who just turned one...
