| The one about trying to smell good when meeting people is a problem for me, as I have an odor problem that showering and deodorant don't seem to help. There is also my liking for garlic. A recent example: I had garlic powder on a sandwich I had for breakfast the other day, then showered, changed in... |

I would like to add a tip that has helped me in the past:
Find curious but non intrusive questions to ask people about themselves. These can be provided by the current topic being discussed, (what they did that day, current events, their jobs). This helps find common ground and interests. |

| I am sorry that you are experiencing so much right now. It sounds like officially realizing that you were neurologically different has caused you to be thrown into processing the traumas with this new knowledge. I am just guessing here. Is it possible that seeing yourself as autistic is making you b... |

Has anyone here been diagnosed with Pragmatic language impairment or Social communication disorder instead of ASD?
And, what symptoms made the MD or psychologist come to that conclusion?
Thanks in advance! |

| Unfortunately, the media is blind to what people with Asperger's need, and people are unwilling to make accommodations. I am not surprised about the media, just annoyed. I am surprised none of her friends or PR people have thought about it, after finding out she has aspergers, how to help her avoid... |

Oh geeze. Does nobody realize that the woman just needs quiet, not stimulation?
Give her some comfortable earplugs, a soft hoodie and sunglasses and she'd probably be fine.
I wish the media would get over it. |

I am surprised that they are required to test the inmate for diseases and tell a visitor. I would have thought that was against HIPPA laws...Now I am just confused.

| I have definitely been noticing this myself more and more. The more social I have to be at work, the more I am exhausted. I try to take naps during my lunch break, or at the very least, listen to repetitive soothing music while I walk outside. I hate the lights and all the noise, but there isn't muc... |

that's horrible.
I am sorry that nobody is looking into it.
You did a great job at looking for evidence.
I was just curious, have you talked to a lawyer? |
