| I'm another one studied Anthropology as I love the human story: where we came from, where we are and where we're heading; how we interpret the world around us and make sense of it. Whilst it's true that Anthropology isn't a vocational degree in the same way IT, Engineering, Law, etc is it does provi... |

| I was a tomboy growing up. My favourite toys were my He-Man figures by far. Also had Star Wars figures, Transformers, Big Trak, lots and lots and lots of plastic horses. |

| Don't have much to say in terms of advice but I do want to say that I find it hugely encouraging that fellow Aspies are looking to make a career in the field of psychology/counselling as this is where my career aspirations lie. I have wanted to be a counsellor for years and have completed a Foundati... |

| I've had a long-term love of English medieval history, but not sure I would want to live back then. The dreamer in me thinks this: I'm a futurist, so I feel that technology isn't evolved enough for me to accept this world as it is. So yes, I feel I was born before my time (in the wrong time period).... |

I grew up a tomboy so was never did the dressing-up girly phase and my mum did't wear much make-up so had noone around to show me either. As I got into my late teens I did put on a ... |
