| Was as a math tutor. I got to work one-on-one with students who desperately wanted to figure things out. I have a knack of figuring out why other people can't figure out things, so when they got tripped up, they could come to me. As a word of caution though, after teaching at one college learning ce... |

| Sorry for not checking up on my post until now. Thanks for the support. Unfortunately I'm certain that there was nothing illegal about him firing me. On the positive side, he has not held up the licensing process for me (a few days ago I found out that I passed the last major hurdle in the licensing... |

| I am currently going through the worst career-related experience of my life. Last August I started a job, the first position I ever held in a new career. It was going really well, except that I was very frustrated with my one co-worker. The co-worker expected me to do things exactly the way that she... |

| I'm really sorry to hear about your experience Charles. It sounds like you have it much worse than me. For me, I can handle physical restraints for a few hours at a time but the longer it is the worse it gets. Falling asleep is nearly impossible. I was just told that I might need surgery to fix a br... |

| When I first heard about how people with Aspergers didn't like to be touched, I figured that that aspect of aspies just wasn't relevant to me. I love to be touched, love sex, and love physical closeness. But then I realized that there were certain types of touching that I just couldn't stand. The wo... |

| I think that one of the attributes of my personality is that there are simply certain people that I can never get along with. People that I can never feel comfortable with. But with other people, I can chat for hours. It seems that an attribute of aspies is an inability to adapt our personalities to... |

| I've been pretty miserable lately, wondering if I should even keep trying to pursue any of my dreams at all. Feeling hopeless and all the related emotions. I signed into facebook and found an email from a woman that I haven't seen since 1991. I was just 16 then and we were both at a nerd camp for wr... |

| If you're a bit obsessive, online dating is a really good way to meet girls. Think of it as a puzzle to be solved. Go to a big dating site like "match." Unless you live in Barrow, Alaska, there's probably 100 girls from 21 to 35 who live within 50 miles of you registered on the site. Start out and f... |

| I've found that the structure of online dating is something that appeals to me. True, there's a lot of rejection, but it can be a lot more straightforward. When you like someone in real life it is excruciating trying to find out whether that person is really even looking to date. You don't have to r... |

| My first time here and I read your story. It sounds like the kinds of things that I would do. I have no answer except to say that I really don't think you did anything wrong. I also think that other people in the same situation would have been extremely grateful. We could sit around and think for ho... |
