2 Aspie books I've read have discussed social errors. One was upsetting a dean and getting kicked out of college for a joke they said another book mention upsetting there boss whom was a judge and they got fired. Uh they seemed to put this aside and go on with there lives yet the fact that I personally got kicked out of college for upsetting a professor and NEARLY fired from a job devastates me.

The college issue I've mention time and again on WP forever! Kind of sad trying to go on from the issue suspended a year Feb. 2005 returned Fall 2010 finished Criminal Justice degree Fall 2014. Yet still upset over getting suspended.

I found a new special interest in computer programming but my mom saw me as "weird" for running around cleaning and excited to get back into my website that was about learning programming it was that fun to me. :-)

Now no disability and no job I've signed into Linkedin. WELL! The professor I upset popped up on there and I went digging. She's moved on the Georgia to teach there and I still live in Florida. Always imagined I'd be able to apologize to her. :-(

Tried years ago when a childhood friend had her class but that friend said it was between me and the professor she wasn't getting involved. Tried Facebook was quickly shot down. :-(

I don't just blow these mistakes off I see them as major RED FLAGS that need help/fixing!! ! Does anyone agree? Or am I doomed to be depressed over this forever?

My fear is I don't want to make new mistakes and REALLY get fired or dare I say thrown in jail for saying something/doing something stupid!! ! :-(

If I have a true personality conflict with someone, my attempts to improve things either fail or make it worse. In those instances I sometimes find letting go can be a challenging but best-available option.
