| I love the Baldur's gate series. As a stress relief, I have been playing around with the games code. Tweaking things here and there. I may even give modding a shot. The game has even got me interested in programming. I discovered the series late in life, perhaps if I had played it earlier I would ha... |

| So, for this has been my first year in a MBA program. Well the program is big on group projects and presentations. As a person with AS, I find those two tasks exhausting. In fact, I have found this to be the first time I been exhausted with school. Even law school would be preferable than what I hav... |

| I don't know but I am skeptical about your employer laying you off. Employers are terrified of law suits (especially regarding people in protected categories, like disability and race.) So, many employers will try to dodge the truth to avoid angering the employee they are terminating. I would have t... |

| When I was a psych undergrad, my situation closely resembled yours (i.e., looking for volunteer work related to my degree). If you want to work with youths, and you are not averse to unpleasant subject matter, then I recommend you try to connect with your state's welfare office. States are always de... |

| Although the 6 months unemployable rule is pervasive, volunteering can go a long way in counteracting that issue. Companies want the best, talent employees. When a person has been unemployed for a long period of time that person's skills has likely deteriorated. The necessary skills for gainful empl... |

However, tomorrow I do have an interview for a summer internship (keep your fingers crossed). I have a good chance of getti... |

| So, technically I joined almost a year ago, but I never bothered to post or get involved. In fact, I had to sign-up again because I was unable to recall what my password and nickname were. Hopefully, my second time here will be more successful. With that said, I might as well introduce myself. I am ... |

They never want to talk about anything interesting (or to be fair, what I find interesting). Instead of philosophy, religion, astronomy, and politics -- the disc... |

| Nice to meet you (sorry I'm rather awkward with online forum greetings). Anyway, what kind of information are you looking for? Anything specific? I assume "ABA" refers to the Applied Behavioral Analysis program. Although I may be an adult (28 years old now) who is on the spectrum, I can offer some i... |
