| I don't drive. I have enough trouble just crossing the street when I'm walking. I have a bit of trouble judging distance and the speed of on coming cars so I am super careful crossing the road if I am walking. One benefit of not driving is that I have not developed a big butt from sitting in a car t... |

I know I can do that with student l... |

| I don't know how much debt people normally have, the point is I haven't been able to pay it back. There is no point in my telling people that I made "a mistake" - that implies self blame as though I had done something morally wrong when in fact it has to do with disability. |

| I owe over $100, 000. It's bad. Really bad. And it is because I took out loans to survive. The employers business associates want to know why I have this credit history. If I tell them I have autism I don't think they will understand. Most people think of autism as mental illness or retardation or s... |

| I have an employer who is willing to work with me. The problem is that the employer's business includes my having to undergo a credit check.

| And then you get to be 45 and whatever goodlooks you once had that got you by aren't enough anymore, you actually have to have a personality to interest other people with. Middle age hits everybody, even those who once got by on other people's high estimation of their looks. |

| So would you agree that the stigma associated with a woman being agressive has influenced the feminine pshyce such that even the lustful emotion a woman feels has to be framed in the context of socially acceptable "love?"
