| Ich bin Engländer, also wird mein Deutsch nicht perfekt sein. Ich habe ein Lied gehört, wo es eine Lyrik gibt: In dieser hellen Welt, hab' die Feuer ich entfacht. Ich habe Deutsch auf Schule gelernt, und bin jetzt 26 Jahre alt; ich habe Deutsch seit vielen Jahren nicht gelernt. Wenn mein Erinnerung... |

| That sounds like an amazing idea and if I was more comfortable with my other languages I would happily sign on. I might have to come back later after I brush up. I think things like this would be huge boon to the autistic community to show some of our strengths especially with the recent upsurge in... |

| I recently heard about an all autistic IT company - called auticon(.co.uk) Might be worth checking them out for ideas (for example employees have mentors to help them cope with any day to day problems so they can focus on what they are good at). Plus looks like they have a lot of European business ... |

| Hey everyone! It has been a while since I have posted here, because since the beginning of the year I have been trying to launch an autism startup in The Hague, in the Netherlands, while working full-time as a freelance translator - it has been insane! I've made a rambling YouTube video about it tha... |

| You're talk was wonderful! I related to the video so much, I've never understood why I was expected to feel nurturing toward everything under the sun. :D :D :D I love this so much - and honestly, I fully agree! I've also started teaching myself to code in the hopes of finding people who would be su... |

| Thank you all for your lovely comments - I was quite worried that I might have made life challenging by saying things in a way that was specific to me, but if I was able to help at all, I'm thrilled. Especially since I know many of you are also dependent on virtual technology for your support system... |

| I think relationships work because the people in them choose to make them work together - regardless of being on the AS or not. I would liken that reasoning to saying "Type II diabetics shouldn't date other Type II diabetics because they need someone to help them with what they struggle with". |
