| Do you know what level of qualification she has? She does appear to be rather incompetent from what you have said. As for complaining, unless the sessions where recorded then she will probably make out that you have misconstrued what she was trying to tell you. It is a major advantage that you sent ... |

| Hi, Maybe you could post your questions direct in the forum via survey monkey/google forms you may get more replies this way instead of people having to ask you for them. Just a thought Do you have the relevant permissions from your university to ask the questions? I made this oversight when doing m... |

| @PorridgeGuy When you have "completed" it, how about moving on to a related subject? Would you be motivated for that? If so you could build upon what you've already learned. Yeah that's probably a very wise idea. I all ready have an engineering degree (though not a very good one - MH probl... |

| @PorridgeGuy I've never really been one for setting goals, though I know I should. I am methodical about learning new things, and once I get into my head that I know enough about a subject, it's like I've "completed it" then I just move on. @BeaArthur Logic is my only real strength I would... |

| I have read that you should choose a career that is related to your special interest, I don't have a special interest... In fact I'm not sure I know what I like, the phrase I like everything, and I like nothing springs to mind. One day I could be looking at becoming a chef, the next day a train driv... |

| +1 for liking the big bang theory, I think it's funny as well. Here's a quote from an article about Sheldon on autism speaks: No matter why you watch the show, after talking to many individuals in our community, the biggest reason why people seem to be drawn to him is that he’s absolutely genuine.

This happens when I'm talking to a person, or group of people that I'm not that familiar with. I don't know if this is because I am anxious and I am trying to consciously control my eye contact.
Anyone else experience this? |

I can sometimes read/study with background noise (e.g. people having a conversation, music, the TV) but the majority of the time I need silence.
Is silence golden for you? |

| Maybe after the altercation you could write your thoughts down and send your parents a text message/email. This will give you time to think about what you want to say and you can get it across better. They will maybe then understand where your coming from , and how important it is to you that you le... |

Thanks for all the suggestions/input, and I am right handed.
@BTDT I do prefer writing with pencils but you can't use them in exams.
@boofle I think it was pilot roller ball pens that I've used and they were very smudgy! |

| My hand writing is not the best, I can make it neat but this requires a lot of effort and hence if I do write neat I am very slow. I can only use ball point pens because my writing smudges with the other kind and the ink ends up all over my hand. Does a more expensive pen make a difference? e.g. I m... |
