Thank you, guys! I think (not sure) that I'll be in Irvine... Is the bus safe enough for a woman alone? I remember that in LA they told me not to ride buses alone...

Yes, SoCal is south california. And I'm supposed to start working soon. :( Grisha, thanks a million! Sounds like I'll be very near you. I have NLD so I have very bad visio-spatial impairment. If I rent a car, I'll get lost immediately with no way back. I'm fretting, what if the company expects me to...

I have to travel to the USA in a few days, to SoCal, and I'm very scared. Mostly, how do I go from place to place, say from the hotel to the office? Is it safe to take taxis? And the social subtext, how do I get along with them SoCal people, what should I take into account?

I don't even own a TV set, I only know them from fanfic on the web. But they're always dismissed as "weird" in the stories and in mytharc, I don't know why...

Everyone calls them weird and kind of leaves them aside. I don't see anything weird in them... Is it because I'm Aspie?

Any and all contribution comments will be welcome...

Your words did me a lot of good, Apple. Indeed, I was raised to not pay attention to my own pain and efforts. You reminded me that once a car almost ran me over when he was going reverse out of his garage and I passed with my bike, so seeing the car coming towards me quickly I dropped my bike trying...

Is it the chicken or the egg, though? Do you hold those values dear because you're like that, or are you like that because you hold them dear? I think that if I'd had the ability to play the game, I may very well have also seen it as the best way to live and I wouldn't have different values as I do.

If my bosses looked me up on FB, then they know I'm Aspie. Not good. But I don't care anymore.

That's why you have to always be like on your wedding day - wear a personality that suits from your boss to your great-grandmother to your closest friend. I find that one of the hardest things for me to do, because it combines both biggest problems I have: social + multi-attention. I'm bound to say ...

That's the essence of us Autistics. We can't function on intuitive automatic.

I feel guilty because their tricks are designed for normal people's psychology and how normal people react. And here I am, looking all normal, and yet impervious to normal tricks...

I soooo much more prefer the anonymity of big stores than the smalltalk of the small ones!

Thank you, Auntie. I used to be a lot more active here, contributing my mind and soul, before I was repaid for my kindness with heinous treatment, now I post a lot less.

I thought NTs adored the FB interface! I remember the young women at my work, they seemed so totally smitten with it!
