I recently learned that my work benefits offered $1000/yr in seeing speech language pathologists. I'm currently 21 and I can converse fine, but I have mighty difficulties in picking up social cues, body language, and the processing of speech and thinking of a response takes an inordinate amount of effort. For those who have seen these specialists, what were your experiences?

On a more local level, Focus Professional Services is a consulting organization based in Vancouver, Canada that attempts to hire people on the spectrum to act as IT consultants. They're a very new organization.

For those of us in Vancouver, there is an Aspies Meetup group; pm me if you're interested. I look forward to seeing anyone in Vancouver either in person or in a larger gathering!

I had to see one up until the eighth grade. I had speech delays as a child, and I didn't start talking until about four or five.

Any thoughts on that experience? Do you think it'd still be useful to an adult?

Thanks for your input.

I'm not really sure. I don't remember that much about it because I was young, and I have a bad memory. D:

Thanks. Any input is still relevant for a formative opinion.
