| I know how you feel. I've got a job coach (who's gotten some assistance from her company) and we've applied for a number of positions for me, but so far I've only gotten I interview, and I found out today that I didn't get the job. Of course, it seems like 90% of all entry level jobs out there are i... |

Reading all these job stories and such, you guys seem lucky ... you actually get to the interview stage. 
Me, I look online and there's nearly no jobs available to me - the only entry level office/admin positions seem to be in sales & marketing and such... |

Actually, she doesn't think I really have a dream to follow, and that's the problem.
I do have goals in life, just not for a specific career... |

| When we discuss me getting a job, my mom often laments that I don't have productive "passion:" i.e. I don't have a set goal for a job or career that I would like to do. In my opinion, deciding on what "career" you would want would result in you narrowing your horizons and thus avoiding a potential d... |

Still looking for a job, but independant job searches can be so frustrating . So ... |

| Well, I don't think my wanting to get married is really a need for a "replacement mom." (Ew!) I was allowed to "date" upon turning 16 and promptly plotted to woo my crushes - I even asked one girl (who was, at best, an acquaintance) if she would be my girlfriend! Also, just to clear things up, my go... |

| One thing that's been getting on me today... Like many of you (probably), I've been told that I've got the emotional maturity of a teenager, despite being in my mid-late twenties. I know I've been told that I've "been behind" my age level in social aptitude for, oh, a good part of my life now. Why d... |

| I wouldn't call it financial independence, but we probably could have achieved it if we had stayed there another 5-10 years. Financial independence is such a tricky idea now, anyway. With rising insurance and medical costs, who knows how much money it will take to live out your entire life. Many so... |

I'm a conservative Aspie, and I'm not rich. 
Though I have to admit I've got a leaning toward statism, as I'd have a better chance get a job there (somebody tells you what to do) than the unstructured, free-wheeling, initiative-dependant capitalist economy we have now...  |

| Just wondering if you could help me out on this: Being an Aspie, it seems that the best places for me to make friends/acquaintences (sp) or otherwise socialize are structured settings. Hence, my best "socializing" times were in high school and (to a lesser extent) college, where I had to see the sam... |
