| I personally love having roommates. Then again I'm one of those really social aspies and I don't have specific issues with certain decorating. I in fact like having only one half of a room to decorate and I physically and psychologically can't spill over to the other side. It would make my organizat... |

| I have recently bought two chinchillas and plan on seeing if my counselor will prescribe them as ESAs. I'm still waiting to here from the university I'm going to about whether they will be allowed in the dorm with me as ESAs. These little girls bring so much joy to my life. Do any of you live in dor... |

| Being that you are asking this question I'm guessing you are not signed up to get accommodations from disability services or your professor would already know. I know not everyone is comfortable with it but I'm a strong believer in accommodations and letting my professors know right away. Unfortunat... |

| Absolutely. I have a bachelors and I loved college so much that I'm going for a second bachelors. College is the time in my life when I found myself and was able to establish myself as a individual. |

| It always fascinates me to hear about aspies who are social. It seems like a contradiction given our diagnosis. I know we all have different deficits, but I always seem to hear that our social deficit is the most common. Qualitative impairments in social interaction is the first criteria in the DSM... |

| Thank you for all your great suggestions everyone. For those of you that seemed concerned about if law enforcement and stuff had to get involved, I really dream that I never have a meltdown in public bad enough where this would happen. I've only had one meltdown in a public place once in my life and... |

| Thanks for the good advice. I even think this is crazy and don't fully understand why I want to do it. I don't want to be in debt for the rest of my life and that's why I just needed to bounce this off of other people and get good feedback to set me straight. I thought who better to ask than other m... |
