| You're probably giving off an awkward vibe. This is certianly not a typical question for people close to 30. For me to wonder about whether someone close to my age is a virgin, they would have to dispaly huge signs of sexual aversion. Nobody ever gives off a "feel free to ask me any tasteless, rude... |

| I'll need to find the equivalent of the EEOC in England. I am terrified by the rapidity of my declining relations at work. Still no one gives me the slightest idea of what it is that I am actually doing wrong. You're doing your job to the best of your ability, which probably means you're doing what... |

| I want to thank zero and lee for reinforcing the EEOC as a viable option. Despite the tone of my previous missive my story had a happy ending I never would have imagined. It's not easy being right but it's not difficult either. No second guessing. The truth is the truth, whether grown-ups want to be... |

| Chronos, I can't disagree. My point is that as an Aspie nobody ever takes the time to consider my point of view before launching into neurotypical "alternative possibilities." Why should I have to defend myself simply for being right? Why am I always assumed to be guilty unless otherwise proven inno... |

Chronos, your attitude is typical and expected: summarily dismiss Miyah's feelings, provide an item-by-item breakdown of why Miyah is probably mistaken, and make a laundry list of excuses justifying the job coach's inexcusable behavior. Miyah, unfortunat... |

I don't blame people for being products of their times and environments and I don't expect them to be passionate about issues not relevant to their day-to-day lives. Actually, it's unreasonable to expect otherwise. I can accept the way things were twenty-five a... |

| ThreeTone 55, I'm lucky enough not to have the nightmare colleague you describe (this time), but I think your advice about trusting myself to know whether I'm right is reinforcement I needed. Glad to hear it but my unfortunate lesson learned is any Aspie in your situation needs to be aware being ri... |

| Based on bitter past experience, nit-pickers and micro-managers don't trust themselves to do their own jobs so they can't trust others to do theirs, as a result they actively seek to undermine others' self-confidence in order to bring everyone down to their level, thus protecting themselves from the... |
