Thanks  . It's actually in February... LOL. We just have to get a placement before all the other schools so I decided since this is the only one I want available in my area I'd try and get it asap.
Thanks everyone for your help .

| My school is informed on my dx, but I don't really like talking to them about it. Generally it's just said I have a statement, only once in my social skills group did they actually ask what diagnosis I had, and that was only 'cause a guy brought up Asperger's and did a presentation on it there.

| I've just seen a placement for a Lab Assistant, so I'll probably go for that. There is no interview and I'm assuming they won't really notice. I apparently have to interact with staff, and if they pick up on anything weird I'll just mention I have Asperger's, I think. If she asks if there's any medi... |

IDK... LOL.
I figured that the interview would be before all the formal stuff like the transition of medical papers and stuff happened... xD.

| It's not a job interview, just a work experience one(couldn't fit it in the title). The placement might not be open so I'll update you if the circumstances change. But yeah, I was planning on doing it at an IT shop, and figured that quite a lot of the people who did work experience there would be pr... |

| I do it like, every new year, LOL. In Year 7 I was incredibly paranoid, and in Year 8 I decided to f**k it and be social and to ignore the voice in side my head who said they were just there to make fun of me, then in Year 9 I said f**k it again but about having friends(idk why) and now in Year 10 I... |

| It depends what the subject is. If it's something I'm interested in, and with someone I like/know, I can literally go on for hours, if it's something I'm not so interested in, then I probably won't. I have terrible tendency to correct people as well, you do not want to sit next to me in English XD. ... |

This might sound a bit... crazy, but I was in a hearing test(my Mum or someone was concerned about me not being able to hear people in busy places and stuff) and we were s... |

| When I'm in high-anxiety situations(i.e basically anywhere with loads of people), I tend to do it A LOT. I'm pretty sure I do it under the delusion it makes me look occupied. I'll also tend to have my iPod out and just randomly click at the turned-off screen and look at it, or turn the volume up exc... |

I hate going to town and while I'm there I dread someone seeing me to the extent that I go at times when I figure no one would really be around and shops no teenager tends to go :/. Unless I'm really good friends with them. Admittedly though, most people who see me just laugh a... |

I don't really care, tbh. I used to care a lot more, but now I can't really handle having a lot of friends. I used to be in a group of 10 or so people, and I ended up severely deducting the amount of time I spent with them.

Yeah, there's quite a few but they're all male so I don't talk to them that much other than the compulsory social skills group on a Wednesday lunch time for people on the spectrum.

I might try and change my diagnosis when I'm older to HFA, but right now it doesn't really matter seeing as I don't see having HFA would change the support I get at school(at the social skills group[at school] I go to people with HFA and Asperger's are all given the same treatment in lessons... |

The depression could be reverse-SAD(Seasonal Affective Disorder). It's very rare in with reverse, but I think I have it.
