As i said people can identify whatever they want, no one is going to stop them and no one else cares. The problem is if he`s... |

| If you have a co-worker that you suspect might be on the autism spectrum, is it ok to ask them if they are. I (person A) have a female co-worker (person B) who works in the call center where I've been for 9 1/2 years. She's (person B) been there almost 6 years longer. I'm about 13 years older than ... |
