| I seem to let my fears get in the way too. Well, some fears are more tolerable than others, like I fear crowds and horrible screaming toddlers, but I can still work in a supermarket stacking shelves (that is, if there isn't some other barrier that gets in the way of a simple job like that). But I c... |

| *HUG* I've been there too, love. Took me 11 years to find my current job. The government says they're non-discriminatory towards the disabled, but I wonder if it isn't being taken to a more subtle level by private firms - yes, you've disclosed you're disabled, and we'll give you an interview... but ... |

| It sounds like you have a manager who isn't particularly good at dealing with conflict. Hopefully, your HR department will be able to straighten this out. In my mind, the issue of swearing or not swearing is not entirely relevant. You had a meltdown, and made a scene - when that happens, disciplina... |

| You say that your sister is an employment solicitor. As you're not a union member, and even if you were, I recommend that you get your sister formally involved as soon as possible. It might be worth your while joining the union, but they won't usually assist at interviews etc until you've been a me... |

Unfortunately, this is going to be a bit long, but I'll try and keep it as short as possible, ok? :) My history: Bullied at primary school, secondary school, 6th form college and university. Had 2 stalkers, one in real life for 9 months, one online for 3. Extremely difficult... |

| Paulie C's got down to an art :D. In my life I know a lot of social workers and a journalist, and watching them has been a great lesson, especially since I ask questions about how they interact the way that they do. The journalist always asks questions, leans forward when he's interested and makes e... |

The current suggestion is to hold a small civil ceremony for the family of both and then to have a large LRP gathering o... |

| With you and your mum being confused, I think that's as real an emotion as anything else. I think even quote-unquote 'normal' people (and no such thing as 'normal' anyway! :D ) find weddings more stressful than enjoyable, much less us talented people on the spectrum! Seems like it would be hard for... |
