The limiting attitudes that people have towards us.

What do you think would increase the employment rates of people on the spectrum?

More public works, such as how one president during the Great Depression had people digging and filling ditches just to give them something to do and allow them to work for their money (people back then, a fair amount at least, didn't like the idea of handouts but they accepted this type of work). This would decrease unemployment in general, allowing for fewer applicants for other jobs meaning more likelihood for Aspies, and everyone else, being hired when they apply to any given place. Supply and demand of available labor is the determining factor in employee selection.



What kind of career would you find ideally suited for you?

My philosophy in life is the teachings of Jesus Christ (I'm pretty sure that's a philosophy...)

What are your plans for tomorrow?

I have no plans for tomorrow actually (aside from the obvious, like eat, drink, shower etc.)

With regards to this thread, do you more often start a post because you have in mind an answer to the question the poster above has asked, and then think up a question of your own afterwards, or is it the opposite, and you start a post because you have a question of your own in mind, and you answer the question of the poster above so you can post a question of your own?

(I really hope that question is understandable)

They are portrayed way too stereotypically which causes numerous misconceptions as for the nature of this condition.

Maternal grandparents: Józef and Helena
Paternal grandparents: Henryk (or Jan) and Maria

I never knew my paternal grandparents, once I heard dad's father's name was Jan but this January I saw the court documents of my father (I saw him then for the first time in my life) in which his father was mentioned as Henryk so I don't know myself... :?

These were typical names of people born in that generation.
