Students who are from households with regular incomes or below average incomes have an easier time getting into elite colleges than students from households with upper level incomes. I... |

| I graduated Summa Cum Laude four times. Take it from me: No one cares about your GPA. No one at all. Don't worry about it. I also hear you about the depression. I was depressed for the first part of my life. I had a shocking experience and it just went away. I don't think that can be replicated, but... |

It helped that the show is funny. Seinfeld is a great show because it has an ens... |

| In real life, never. And frankly, these things annoy me as well. When I was a young girl, I was a medical secretary for a number of years. It seemed to me that I was the only person around me who took accuracy seriously. I learned in college that I would be liable for incorrect information on a pati... |

He will straight up not be able to handle things like groceries and laundry if he's dealing with social things and also getting into the groove of his academics. He is more likely to stay in University if you help wi... |

This is an excellent thread.
The anecdotes highlight many problems in society today that autists could help with if only allowed.
And they are also funny scenarios to picture. I wish several could be drawn out in comics. |

| Especially at work, you did the right thing to hold in your reaction. Aspies do tend to assess some things as being a bit too negative as they are. But it could have been meant in a negative way, so no reaction is always the best bet. I say work on your scripts for social situations and if you have ... |

| As the previous poster explained, autistic people may or may not realize that they are on the spectrum as they grow up. But if they determine that they are on the spectrum, retroactively then, one knows that they were always on the spectrum. The reason is that you cannot "become" autistic.... |

Each of us has an interest that seems stupid to someone else.
I understand the need to nap during the workday, and that there aren't a lot of good places to do it, but the breakroom is really a common room and you can't control what others do there.
Can you go to your car and nap? |
