| I don't make much of a differentiation in myself or others. Aside from the obvious age factor, the point at which a person would be considered adult is extremely unclear and generally in observation, i will have the impression that a person is child-like regardless of level of accomplishment or inde... |

that sounds like a complicated matter.
Have you researched about the legal aspect of your situation. Like if this could then be qualified as a disbility and would it be legal for you to be fired because of it. |

makes sense. employers need workers that can work.
likely, losing your job won't make life easier.
find appropriate times to focus on the issues and make work a special priority. are you in therapy at all? |

| Your perception of early is relative to the sleep schedule that you have adjusted to. If you would like for school to be the last thing that you do in your day, then end your day with school. Go to sleep after school and start your day at whatever time that would cause for you to be waking up at. Fo... |

| He will lie without even thinking about it. Are you sure that you can know what he is thinking? Issues such as neglecting hygiene aren't that uncommon. It could just be a matter of him not recognizing the significance and may feel that he has better things to do with his time. I have tried to take ... |

| An example of my focus would be this. Think back to 200 years ago. What idea should we have about the people that lived 200 years ago. Should it be limited to who is to blame for their deaths and the fact that it's sad that EVERYONE from 200 years ago is dead? Or would it be more productive to be a... |
