| A lot of Aspies work too hard at their jobs. This is bad because it raises the expectations of what is required on the job. The natural reaction of other employees is to get rid of someone who is working too hard. You can see this on Television if you watch the Survivor shows. Those who do too much ... |

| If you watch Crazy Rich Asians and read the social media commentary it is possible to learn about common Chinese social customs. For instance, refusing a party invitation twice and then accepting it on the third ask is actually how it is done. |

| Another option may be to get a full psychological assessment if you can afford it. My partner had this done. The way it works here is that the upper class sees a therapist for help. 1 hour sessions now go for about $200 each. If you can afford that they will ask around and provide referrals, knowing... |

CBS News showed a girl with Down's syndrome whose speech therapy is fund... |

I had a brain stem bleed and lost my balance and coordination.
I've been able to get it all back and play golf!
But, it was a very long slow process, much like kids go through.
I find it helps to wear high heels to improve my balance. |
