| I work in my special interest and the common ground helps with the conversation part of social skills, but for me the other aspects have been learned through cognitive training. The interaction with people and patients is easy in that I know what to say most of the time just from previous experience... |

I know there are a few of you lurking around here, what operating mode interest you the most? Voice, digital text/file transfer, cw, digital voice, or any I failed to mention?
Lately I have been heavily into digital and cw, specifically FT8 and PSK31.

| My handwriting and signature are down right bad, even my printing is so bad I have to decode it for others. I get told my writing resembles hieroglyphics or a doctor's prescription pad writing. I am very glad that here in the states, patient charting is computerized and very little is hand written c... |

| The regulations haven't changed much in the last 40 years, just the pushing of the limits. There are actually two sets one for broadcast such as cable or over the air tv and premium such as HBO. Broadcast has been pushing the limits of what is allowed for the last 20 years or so but it is up to the ... |

| I have one and it is a great way to stim when I am at work. I can keep it in my pocket and use it as needed and most of the time it bothers no one unlike other forms of stimming I used previously. |

The plus to wearing a uniform for work I don't have to decide what to wear.
At home I wear t shirt, a hoodie (on colder days), a ball cap and blue jeans, pretty much the same thing every day. |

I use one to sleep with as well as a way to calm myself when I am overstimulated. I don't know what I would do without it.
I'm not sure where it was bought my mother and my wife went together and purchased it. |

I work in EMS and I know as an Aspergers EMT that very little is known by providers when treating those on the spectrum. Here is a link to the EMS one article about the kit and training a mom of a Aspie and mental health worker developed.

My writing is horrible to be nice, if I concentrate on what I'm writing and take my time it is more readable but still messy by NT standards.
Though my wife says she can read my writing so it cannot be all that bad but she has 12 years of practice reading it. |

Always, especially with something I have little to no interest in doing and/or do not desire to do. I, like most others wait till the last second to get something done.
I would quit procrastinating but I keep putting it off.  |
