| I've got quite a few difficulties that I feel make me unemployable in today's society where social skills are valued far more than the actual skills required to do the job well. 1. Executive function difficulties 2. Anxiety issues 3. Trouble multitasking 4. Communication difficulties 5. Mediocre att... |

I'm a mad man with a box and a screwdriver. I'm not good and I'm not bad. I am no soldier, president, or hero. I wonder around, helping out and learning. I am the Doctor, and always will be!
And this will be my first and only post to this forum. |

| I worry a lot. I tend to worry about what others think of me, regardless if they're strangers or people I'm very close to. I tend to worry about being struck by lightning, being run over by a car, the fire alarm going off right as I pass by it. Worrying about what happened in the past isn't fun eith... |

I'm in my early twenties and take classes part-time at a local community college. Here's how she's overprotective and why. 1. She doesn't let me do social... |

| I am often paranoid about people thinking I am weird, because a lot of people DO think I am weird, and some judge me harshly because of their judgement. And some people feel like mistreating me based on their harsh judgements on me. I have had the problem of this paranoidness of my for many many ye... |

It worked well up until 2010 when things started going downhill. I was starting to have major panic attacks for no reason at all starting in late 2010, my shor... |

| My son who will be 2yo next month and has mild PDD-NOS is obsessed with elevators. He breaks down crying if he can't stand at an elevator door and constantly press the button. He will sit and stare at the doors. He will break away from my grasp to run to an elevator bank and throw a huge tantrum if... |

| I've never seen an elevator with a hand that depicted the direction of travel. I've seen some elevators, both older and newer ones with arrows that depicted the direction the elevator was traveling. I haven't watched many videos of elevators outside the United States, so I might come across a video ... |

| I was both a little nervous and a little angry when I did this video. I tried to film the bus as I went downtown, but a couple of crackheads got into an argument, so I stopped recording and deleted the video. Plus, I missed the transfer, so that gave me the perfect opportunity to go to the hotel and... |

I filmed my first elevator a few days ago at a downtown hotel, with many more elevator videos planned, including those at downtown parking gar... |

| Thanks for posting this video! This is the best explanation of Asperger's that I've come across in any TV show. This will definitely help children see what AS really is. Why can't they use this type of explanation of AS on other TV shows so that the adults can learn the truth about AS? |
