I've avoided Uber because of the heavy social interaction required. As a contractor for the company you assume the bulk of the financial liability (insurance for your vehicle, wear-and-tear, health insurance, cost for your smartphone) and the pay you receive doesn't balance out the costs. Uber is a ...

Growing up I always heard David Lynch's work was dense and confunsing. Before watching Twin Peaks I watched Eraserhead. I thought it was an interesting take on the anxiety of becoming a husband/father/provider. There are a few subplots that I didn't enjoy but overall Twin Peaks made sense to me. I r...

BobNewbiesBus' example fits me too. I have a life (partner, job, house, pets) and don't need external support. As I get older I'm starting to see where I differ from the herd and coping with that can be very frustrating but not in a way that will endanger my self-sufficiency. Seeing what other peopl...

Amity made a point that resonated with me. "During that time I realised that many aspects of my life were dependent on personal qualities that were actually nurtured skills and not innate abilities." As I get older and more versed in this disorder I'm recognizing situations where I brought...

I've never been out of work for more than a few months and I've been fortunate to work in an autism friendly field (IT) but I've switched jobs twice in the last two years. Each time there was a long period of stress, about six months or so, when I had to re-establish some of my calming exercises lik...

I recently started Kendo at our local dojo. There is a big Japanese community in my area and most of the families participate. It's particularly good for me since everything is very structured and there is a right and a wrong way to do every action. Most of the 'do' 道 (meaning 'the way of') martial ...

Ban-Dodger had a good point about keeping things in context. For me that means understanding a few different things: We live at a certain point in time. Most of our customs have evolved only over the last few hundred years. They will change in the next few hundred years. Humans are adaptable and ver...

I grew up around computers, video games and technology and I've always liked to understand how systems work. After getting a language degree I vowed to not work in IT helpdesk and only held out for a year before taking a job doing just that. At the start it was difficult since most cases weren't tro...
