It could be a focus thing--people can be distracting. It might be general poor focus, or you might just be distracted by only people, for the most part.
I'm mostly only able to focus on the computer when I'm alone, or even around most people other than my friend. |

| I'd only pursue involuntarily taking away your sons' self-guardianship rights if there was trouble surrounding legal contracts. The problem isn't legal contracts. The problem is bed availability.

Not everybody with autism is good with math. - No one in my family has autism or aspergers. That doesn't always matter. Autism genes don'... |

That, totally.
All because you need psychological services doesn't mean you can't work in psychological services. I'm tired of hearing things like "I'm bipolar, so I can't be a psychiatrist.". Uh, yes you can. |

| Well, if you are sensitive or allergic to anything edible (or sometimes, even something not edible!), it can interfere with mentation. The thing is, what you're sensitive to, or even if you're sensitive to anything, is going to vary from person to person. |
