| I agree that we are easy targets for users, selfish people, and narcissists (cluster B personalities). We are like prey to them as they are predatory. They will use you until they use you up or get bored with you. Just like a cat playing with a mouse. It's not right but these people pretty much don'... |

| Yeah, it's just a coincidence that the two worst school shootings in the last decade (or whatever), that involved body counts in the dozens, were perpetrated by people who, for all appearances, fit the profile of Asperger's perfectly? Who's usually to blame for this type of thing? Disturbed loner t... |

| My work just installed a video camera system in my work area. Nothing has been done wrong, and nothing has been stolen, so there is no good reason for the boss to point a camera at our work area. (I don't work in retail so that is not a factor here.) I have always felt like a trusted employee. This ... |

I like to wear a t-shirt that says "Aspie" on the front.
I guess that proves that I am not offended to be called an Aspie.  |

I think that this sums it up for a lot of us with AS:
Just because I don't have friends, doesn't mean that I don't want friends.

| OK I want to say thank you...after all this posting I don't think this is the forum for me. I don't want to offend and social communication can be confusing and since I live with 3 on the spectrum my fear as an NT is that I will say or do something that will hurt. I'm at an emotionally raw place an... |

I'm looking forward to getting to chat with other aspie's. Hopefully I'll have more in common with people here than... |

I think you should go. You need to get away from the bad manager as soon as you can. He won't do you any good.
Keep us informed on how things go.
Good luck! |

I don't talk much to people who I don't know or just met. Unfortunately, as soon as I feel comfortable enough to start talking, I ... |

Sometimes, it feels like I am hanging on to the end of my rope. I think that a chameleon is a great avatar because many times gro... |
