I myself wish I could wear one sometimes, just so that when I say inappropriate things people would understand that I'm not meaning to be rude. I do we... |

| My son and I both have Aspergers and neither of us have jobs at the moment. I usually do have a job but I quit and started selling stuff on Ebay. I at least have a husband who has had the same job for almost 19 years, so it's not a big deal if I don't work. But my son on the other hand is 20 and sti... |
