| Well, I got the job and I never had to discuss autism at all! The woman interviewing me wouldn't have noticed (or cared) if I were green, purple, upside down, or what. It's not that she doesn't care about what she does, I can just tell that she doesn't care if I'm a little different. I get to try o... |

| One way some (ASD individuals) can signal they don't want to speak (or cannot) is by colored wristbands where RED = Please do not expect a response and I need to be alone/quiet. YELLOW = You may speak to me and I'll try to respond but let's use care. GREEN = We can talk now and I'd like to be frien... |

| Hello everyone, I have been searching the UK markets for DANA type devices. My conclusion is that they are really expensive here- it is sad that AAC devices are sold as though they are luxury items. Here are a couple of links to interesting things I found: Toby Churchill’s “Lightwriter” (I would rea... |

| if I didn't have to speak, I probably wouldn't I genuinely do not believe that speaking is compulsory. Billions of people on Earth can not convince me I am wrong. Regarding sign language- Good luck with this, it is more difficult than it may first seem. I taught myself some sign vocabulary through ... |

| Thank you for the replies. I have decided not to send the letter as quoted in the posts previous to this one. I realised that what I objected to was a decision taken without my consultation, so it seems slightly hypocritical to then write about those staff members to someone else without addressing ... |

Before the start of the lesson, R***** took you to one side, quickly explained the game, and asked you ... |

| Hello all. I have not visited here for awhile as I have been immersed in social skills classes. They are run by a local charity for people with autism. Generally the experience is a positive one and I do believe I am learning useful things. Some of the other people using the service are not overly v... |

| I think the best way to stop being friends with someone is if you slowly drift away from each other. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but it's the less hurtful way. I'll have to disagree with you on that 100%. For anyone, especially people with Asperger's, it's downright frustrating if someone ... |

| does anybody else just make noises all day long? No I am silent. It causes great distress to have to cough, hiccup or sneeze, or commit any involuntary noises, which are mercifully few. John Elder Robison wrote in his book (John's an Aspie - great sense of humor, etc), he will often say, 'Woof!' TH... |

I find it easier to type.
Yes. Typing is even more efficient than writing by hand, which is how I usually communicate. |

| Can't you make her something? Otherwise don't mention the christmas present (it isn't really important), get her a card instead. The above is an excellent suggestion. You could make her a card, then write about A and C inside it. I would much rather receive a hand made gift than a store bought pres... |

That is very interesting. What are ... |
