| Hello! I'm also a devout Catholic and love to talk about the faith. I've been recently learning about Mother Teresa- wow, just amazing all the wonderful stories I've been reading! I'm especially fond of Catholic related books, so any you've enjoyed, I'd love to know about. Anyway, nice to meet you! |

| Oh, and let me guess, one of the coworkers probably found you in the ladies room and probably told the manager you were weird or something like that and it became very difficult to work there. Yup. I even got pulled into the back room for a chat. :? And they'd already thought I was a bit weird beca... |

| I've learned that actually when I'm with other people I'm not actually doing anything approaching social behaviour at all - I just tend to remain silent and drift about like a ghost not engaging much with anyone. I tend to assume that people won't be interested in anything I have to say so I keep q... |

| I will put my theories in, first of all, in the interview, you may get questions like "what do people say about you?" Something like that can be hard to answer (what do neurotypical people say?)' If you come across awkward as we often are, they think "He can't handle the job" Or they may think that... |

| I used to be able to get a job much more easily. Now I am older and not so cute and have a sketchy work history. I can't even get interviews anymore. The few that I have had in the past year have been terrible - I just don't have the energy to pass as NT anymore. And actually working in the jobs I ... |

| The movie "Harold and Maude" has a funny approach to funerals. Both the main characters attend funerals for the heck of it, maybe to gain a little zen kick about living fully. It's a pretty cool movie. I've found funerals to be useful as an initial step in the grief process. It feels right to me to ... |

| We buried my mother last month. She had a funeral Mass in the church and then a graveside commital service. It took all day. She had one of the old Requiem Masses and that was over an hour but it takes that long because it's religious rite and you have to do certain things in a certain order. Then ... |

I thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. :) Glad to say, we're still good buddies all these years later. Haha! Not... |

| Discussing with you guys was enlightening in a way tho, as I realise fully that your beliefs about life and death are definitely not for me, and that if I believed the same thing I would have killed myself a long time ago, or I would have let myself die when I had a cancer at 20 year old. I'm sorry... |

Unfortunately I'm not sure I do deal with it very well, I sort of fluctuate between apologising for everything and trying not to impose myself on people, and trying to participate but being overcome with thoughts that I'm unwanted or imposing and I should leave. This is how I a... |
