I've done nine major ones, almost back to back since 1997. Some are several years long.


Amazing, you're officially my hero now :)


I don't instigate them or anything. It's not like I'm litigious. But heaven help anyone who tries to screw me around.

I could have guessed you didn't :lol: But I admire the strength and perseverance that you need for that kind of stuff. I'm already terrified by bureaucracy and I'm talking stuff that takes weeks or a few months tops!

It still sucks that people have to spend so much money when they didn't even start anything just to protect themselves.

My son's best nurse ended a 9 yr battle in which she had been very wronged but she gave up because as she told her lawyer any justice or compensation I do end up getting will be less than what I have paid you over the years.

Yes, that's very true. Sometimes you can't give up though, because it's not about money. The stakes are too high in other areas of your life. I've spent about five times the value of my home on legal fees. Predators seem to prey on autistic people's vulnerability. I think I have a special magnet that attracts them.

^ I have a history of attracting people who are bad for me as well, although it’s never resulted in a court case.

There is a lady with Aspergers I believe she only uses that term not ASD for herself (might be wrong) but she has podcasts (interviews) and articles and even mentioned in her book, about this.

I developed a liking for Parmesan Reggiano. I would eat nothing but that for every meal sometimes.

In childhood I loved goat's cheese but not now.

Same Q

Depends on my mood, but I think I'm better at "Wheel of Fortune" and so would probably rather watch that.

Same question.

Can't choose just one. Classic and jazz/blues for sure but I also like a lot of electronic and a (big) bunch of other stuff.

Same q
