| Sure there could be a market for that. Anything that's written well can sell ... with a little bit of luck. Reminds me of a trailer I saw recently about a girl with ASD who's trying to find a boyfriend. It looks like a smaller budget movie, but someone had to pay for it. Jane Wants A Boyfriend P.S. ... |

| Thank you everybody that responded. I was looking to leave her a friendly message in return, but she deleted her Facebook account, so .... I guess that's that. If that changes I'll update this thread. |

| About five years ago I dated this woman for two years. It's the only relationship I've been in. The relationship ended, she called it off. I've moved on and I am not interested in her romantically anymore. I haven't spoken to her since, but a few days ago I got a friend request and this message from... |

| The initial post https://emmapretzel.wordpress.com/about/ is by an autistic person. There are some valid points in the article, but the hate speech isn't doing her arguments any favors. Not to mention there are no specific quotes from the books they're bashing either. It comes across as very hypocri... |

| Yes and no. I've managed to get around black and white thinking by using it to try and be open-minded. "Try something once." It's become a philosophy, and I adhere to it with the same black and white or all-or-nothing thinking. It can make people think I'm open minded, and the results may ... |

I'd find something you like to do (doesn't h... |

The company's in a bit of rough spot and I might get laid off anyways ... but this is taking longer than expected. My therapist has had me keep a journal of my day-to-day thoughts and nearly... |

| I'm trying to figure out what meds work right now and it's been pretty rough. I've tried: Wellbutrin - gave me a slight kick, but didn't help with depression or anxiety. Lexapro - gave me serotonin syndrome and lots of fatigue. Prozac - didn't do much of anything for me at all, still fatigued. Effex... |

I would recommend looking for quiet jobs where there isn't a whole lot of communicating with people to be successful at it. Data entry, computer programming, office filing, or proofreading/editing (maybe?) If you do ... |
