| How do you feel about how much you get accomplished at work as opposed to what NT people think you should get done? I personally feel as though I'm not getting much done, but the NT bosses often tell me otherwise. Is this an aspie thing, and does anyone else feel this way? |

| I got by with AS for 26 years so far, so there is no point whatsoever to change now. I've already figured out how to get by in life with the hand I was dealt, both good and bad. |

I was in the Navy for six years, and it there were both good and bad things about it. One very positive aspect of it is the deployments, you have plenty of time to explore your in... |

Most people thought it was rather pointless, but it helped me immensly. Ironically though, since the interview for the job I was seekin... |

| The only good censorship is what you decide. It should be done by your personal taste and not by some government commision. For example, if you don't want to watch something, then don't, but don't let others stop someone from seeing or hearing what they want( so long as said thing doesn't harm other... |

But as I grow older, I want this less and le... |
