| You could also look in to vocational rehabilitation, which is generally a state-run program. Their goal is to get you the treatment and skills that you need to get a job, and also to help you find the right job, and to make sure that you have the correct accommodations so you can keep that job.

| My dad revelled in this story of me when I was around four. Dad: "Would you like to join the brownies?" Me: "No.." (looking confused at the question) Dad: "Why not? You'd have lots of fun with all the other girls" Me: "I can't.. I'm not brown. Duhh." When I joined the brownies, we went to the store... |

| I don't like ordering. A lot of times I'll just point to what I want on the menu instead of talking. |

Boiling a stinky pig in the lab. It wasn't too bad, but I was hungry so I went out into the hall to eat my protein bar (no eating in the lab), and it was really bad when I came back in from the fresh air.  |

I like them, but I don't eat them because they aren't very good for me. I like the frosted ones. Instead, I eat oatmeal with blueberries. Or toast with peanut butter and jelly. Or yogurt.
There's so much stuff I would love to eat, that I don't... Sigh. |

| I would definitely recommend getting a prep book and working on the math problems. Do be careful about getting a used one, though. I know that the GRE has changed a few times in the past few years. I was not a fan of the GRE when I took it. I actually did better on the math than the verbal section, ... |

| Yeah.... I find my biggest annoyance is that people see it as something that I can fix if I want to and try hard enough. Even my dad tells me to "just get over it." If I'm worried about having to make a phone call or go to a social thing or go shopping, he tells me that I should "just do it, and qui... |

Are you currently seeing any sort of mental health professional or caseworker or something that could have a meeting with your whole family and discuss your current level of functioning and what thing... |

| I am vegetarian. Today at a 60th birthday party at a very expensive restaurant, I was served a 'vegetarian' meal. One bite of the risotto and I started gagging. The chef had cooked it in a seafood stock - yucko! I sent the meal back. I had this problem in Canada. I went there on a high school band ... |

| I'm a vegetarian because I don't like meat. The tendons and stuff are gross. It's too bouncy and stringy and icky. A lot of it is a texture thing, I guess. |

It seemed odd that they were sitting there for so long. Then I realized what was going on. It was a mother and fat... |

I went to do some stuff and came back, and the light won't work again. No light means no movement of the mouse, and the button... |

| You are so unpopular that you actually become the most popular target in the school. Including getting a new name that more people know than your real name. Bonus points if said fake name gets chanted by the entire bus on school trips. |
