| Everyone, thank you for replying. I apologize for not getting back to you yet. Situations took a turn for the worse after I confronted my colleague, and long story short I was forced to resign.

| LabPet and caramateo , thank you both for the thoughtful replies. Labpet , Before revealing my AS, apparently my strengths did shine through. It's only since the big 'come out' that things have declined. It seems that indeed they are now choosing to see the autism, not the person who previously did... |

| asplint (can I call you Jeff) - Extremely well-put and constructive posts, and website too. I like your approach, and what you say makes a hell of a lot of sense.

LostAlien, advice or not, the sympathy doesn't go unappreciated, so thanks. Unfortunately, in my experience at least, the labels thing had been only too true; my constant rejection from potential employers is testament to that  . |

| AKA, "'came out' as having AS, now being given the cold treatment...or am I just paranoid?" :lol: I would actually have kept this brief, if the details weren't so important. I know that seeing essays of posts may discourage most people from reading (too much like hard work lol). So I hope that the l... |

I propose a 3 lane division: the left for normal, moderate and fast walkers, the middle for solitary slow walkers, and the right for 'walk poolers' :lol: Buyt th... |

| Celtic Goddess ... your excuse is being a Buds fan :lol: . It's enough to turn anyone's brain. The fact that a team can suck so monumentally is beyond all conceivable logic and thus trying to comprehend such an anomaly causes the brain to turn itself inside out, thereby causing madness.
