Ok. This is written for those who have not been assessed, but we obviously need those of us who have been assessed to give our little stories so those who are reading who are not sure may pick up on something familiar.

You need a job that is more "You". |

I once had a whole collection of carrier bags which I kept under my bed and I had all sorts of different businesses and company logos on them, and I used to test them to see which lasted the longest without breaking, but my Mum thought they were rubbish I had accumilated and chucked them in the bin.... |

How can one own autism? Is autism for sale? I don't get it. 'owning' autism is an american slang term. Owning your autism translates to being completely aware and accepting of your autism and that nothing anyone else says or does can change that. Ownership means I'm not ashamed, embarrassed, or try... |

How can one own autism? Is autism for sale? I don't get it. She "owned" the troll. "Owning" someone is a slang expression that means putting them in their place with a good comeback to an attempted insult. She "Owned" Autism-As-Insult Trolls. Terms are funny in America... |

Varies but these days we don't buy jam as since they no longer put sugar in them due to the sugar tax, they go off within weeks of opening the jar. Also we avoid atrificial sweetners so though we love jam, we tend not to buy it. Love peanut butter but like artificial sweetners, I avoid it. You misse... |

This is where USA and the UK differ somewhat, as in the UK couples can get on fine despite having different political oppinions as they may openly debate (And enjoy the debate as well) but we don't take these differences personally.
