| There seems to be virtually unanimous agreement that Season 2 was better....certainly more realistic (both in its portrayals of those on the spectrum and those off it). |

I think almost everyone feels like Frank Grimes at some point in their life...being baffled as to why someone dumber than you is more successful. |

| I have watched it, but don't know if I will continue to do so...I am getting tired of network shows...they have too many episodes. I like the shorter seasons on cable and streaming. |

| That is what I feel makes us different. We do not hire people with autism into ONLY technology jobs. Yes, we do have those opportunities, but just because someone has autism, doesn't mean they want to sit behind a computer! We have been very successful with a manufacturing partner, for example. We ... |

| I LOVE the Killing Joke graphic novel, but I'm hoping they do something different...something original...for this movie. We already got an animated adaptation which was good aside from the Batgirl prologue. Killing Joke can't take up an entire movie anyway. Dark Knight clearly drew inspiration from ... |

| So unemployment is low in the U.S. (3.9%) and it's even lower in my county. So here's my question...why don't the job ads in my area reflect the tight job market? Most postings I see still have ridiculously high requirements even when the job doesn't pay that well. You'd think with the job market th... |

| I hated Zahid in the first season...thought he was so over the top, but he was a good character this season...the writers "humanized" him and showed his flaws. |

| I realize making friends is hard for many of us, and I definitely include myself in that category, but does anyone else have a real problem losing touch with the friends they do make? Maybe not friends (I've rarely, if ever, had close friends) so much but friendly acquaintances. I've been feeling ve... |

They never actually told me no....they just didn't communicate with me after the interview. I sent a thank you e-mail, but they never responded even to that.
For the record, and I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but they were actually hiring multiple people for the job. |

| Being well-rounded would be discouraged...NTs would be strongly encouraged to just have a few special interests and focus like a laser on them. |
