I know some lawyers who have defended a few and it seems that they are able to care... |

| Ar there any other active sites like Meetup? I've been trying to find there any historical groups around Philadelphia/South Jersey but failed so maybe there are any other ways to find them except google (again nothing relevant)? Perhaps set one up? There'll probably be a surprising number of people... |

| I've been to public, boarding and catholic schools, including the special ED. And that only thing I've learned in school is how to survive in prison, and that's no joke. BTW: what was the name of that documentary? Is it on you-tube? I think I may have seen it. I think it's called ''make me normal''... |

| Regarding your first point, what always works with people is HONESTY. I was once in 2 separate group interviews for 2 sales jobs, and during my pitch, I admitted that I was very introverted, and conversation didn't come easily to me, but I was prepared to do whatever I could. And BOTH times they acc... |

It's kinda like that 'you don't know what you've got till its gone'. What I will say is that some people really are built for each other, and yo... |

One guy (who claimed to be ASD) said these institutions were a load of crap and would only make things worse for them. I got into a pretty heated discussion with him (with a lot of insults thrown my way) that institu... |

Damn. I wish then I was a little more introverted. Would make life a lot more comfortable! |
