| I have a totally incompetent supervisor who makes up "fun" busy-work projects for herself and our team that she often tries to dump onto me to "help" with - even though this takes away time from my real work, and I already have more real work than I have time to do. When I point out I can't even get... |

| I totally understand, BrokenBill. I'm about your age, and I've been working since I was 20 years old to get along with the neurotypical world - learning how to talk with them, how to work with them, etc etc. Then the last year or so I've just begun to break down. Depressed all the time. Wanting to d... |

| I have had a terrible time getting MRs to get that I don't react "normally", either.They are just grossly ignorant about anything not in the book they all memorize. Which is why I don't take their drugs for anything any more. I would love to have a doctor who used their brain, though, instead of cal... |

| Some people have said that they started rocking back and forth after reading about other people doing it, and it feels good to them, so they keep doing it. This is true for me. I used to rock when I was a kid, but hadn't for decades. Then I read that other people do it, I tried it, and it was comfo... |

I've noted that when I'm feeling there's more chaos in my world, I'm drawn back to religious belief that's very structured (in my case, Roman Catholicism), because of the structure it hangs on my life. I'm also curious about... |

Once your friend list is hidden, no more worries about others seeing how few "friends" you have. I only have... |
