| I have- from the UK to Mallorca, Spain and to Germany. I don’t speak any languages other than English. The former was an organised study trip (I traveled by myself but was with fellow students, who I had not met before, for most of time I was awake). The latter was entirely by myself with only my, l... |

| Open-toed shoes are a safety hazard, especially in warehousing and machine-shop environments. Many of the jobs I have worked in have insisted on safety footwear (steel/composite tow cap)- however most aspects of clothing, including which safety shoes I ware, are up to me (as long as it was black). ... |

| It does not really bother me that much. The area where I live is mainly university students rather than families with children. I used to work in an shopping/entertainment/leisure complex but my work did not directly involve the customers so the only difference was how busy the car park and mall was... |

| Could you make sure that you never finish your wing early? Would it be possible to go stall/repeat a section if you are ahead of time (clean an area that you already have or take a lot of care on your last few rooms). I have worked what was (on paper) the same job for two different companies; one of... |

| In my experience (and i have done some soul-searching on this exact topic), making eye contact for me has the opposite meaning as it has for an NT. Making direct eye-contact is a sign of agression, or dominance at least, not something you'd do in a regular relationship. This is one of these complex... |

I have developed crushes on girls that, when the crush fades, I wonder why I was attracted to them. I may still find them attractive but I am not able to say why I put them above others.
On the other hand I have been put off from girls due to physical factors such as excessive arm hair. |

| I find it a bit ironic that Campin_Cat is complaining about the colours of the forum when he keeps overriding the defaults. Campin_Cat's a she. Caught out by a user using a profile picture of the opposite gender (and the forum not giving the gender info). I should have used gender neutral language.... |

This will be a particular issue when (if) the forum software allows users to choose a custom theme for viewing the boards. The default posting colours could cha... |

| The sad thing is that the staff would probably be more productive if they had a half hour break in the day than if they were forced to keep working in a tired state. |

Is there any government legislation regarding rest/meal breaks, do you have a trade union agreement that gives you compulsory time off?... |

Try and tell the consultant what you want to change for you (and what things you find difficult and easy).
Autism/Aspergers is not a one-size-fits-all condition so any adaptations need to be fitted to you, not to a generalised set of rules. |
