Since I transferred to grocery night shift, I no longer have to deal with the crowds or the screaming kids. I get my own aisle and am left to work.  |

| If you disclosed your AS and they fired you because of your breakdown which is considered a part of your AS and they did not give you time to recuperate or give accomodation, then you have grounds to possibly sue for discrimination. I had my hours cut at work and am the only one who did not get my h... |

One student brought up aspergers and autism and talked about how she knew someone with it and described him as a loser and a creep. The whole 80 minute class turned into one big autism bashfest.

| Life imprisonment in Canada is 25 years then parole which is for first degree murder. These punks will most likely be convicted of second degree murder at the most and get a lesser sentence or manslaughter which carries an even lesser sentence since the killing was not premeditated. And there is no ... |
