| Doctors work right in your face. Developers, by and large, do not. I'm an IT architect and peer-developer, and if the check is good, I don't care what people think of my work. If you want to wear a cape and get regular pats on the back, apply to be a travelling debug engineer like a PFE working for ... |

| Try Texas. There's no such thing as an accommodation for autism here. Doctor or not, don't let a neurotypical tell you how much social isolation you need. Decide for yourself, and tell your therapist to pound sand. Your job experience is not uncommon. I started as a Chemist then ended up in IT, and ... |

Find a skill that requires a really fast processor, learn that skill, and you will stand out in the job market. Probably, but not certainly, you will not effe... |

| When I transferred from a mainstream school and attended a popular/big college in 2006-2008 I remember the learning support I got there was very poor. Is this normal for a lot of colleges in the UK when it comes to students with learning disabilities etc? You'll be even less impressed with the supp... |

| Since this particular ABA program uses “positive reinforcement” it is a lot less bad than jail where autistics are extremely vulnerable to all sorts of narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths etc. Jail is extreme sensory hell. But a lot less bad is often still pretty bad. ABA trains one to be complian... |
