| I've chatted on the Internet with Aspies who sounded like extroverted NTs and who made me feel self-conscious about my social interaction with them. On the other hand, about three people I've met on WP were observably unusual, from their text chats. Most interesting is one young woman from WP with a... |

| Because my roomates during my second year of college smoked cigars, marijuana, and played loud music at all hours of the day and night, I cannot say my dormroom was a positive experience. Like woodsman, I quit college. (I am now attending a community college full time though, hoping to make up for l... |

| Some people with AS are happy, others are not. Unhappiness I do believe can spread from one person to another, especially when it is a group of unhappy people and you are a happy person who has to be around them. From time to time I have felt like posting in the Haven, such as when I am unhappy. I u... |

I am interested in getting on Zoloft to deal with anxiety at school and work.
I was just wondering whether anyone here took it and what your experiences with it have been. |

| I'm going to have to disagree with the others here somewhat. You need to tell the interviewer everything he wants to hear. He wants to know that you are a confident, willing, and competent potential employee. Any subjective measure such as how you feel is subjective and no answer can really be consi... |

Prior to 1929, Ireland did not exist as an independent country, so maybe they waived the requirement. As for the P... |

| Like most other people, I have been betrayed or secretly loathed. The worst thing is to overhear what someone else says about you when it is absolutely horrible or downright baseless. I've also been fairly publicly ignored before too. This can make someone want to turn their back on the so-called fr... |

| Yes, mine do occasionally. It's not as severe as those of someone I met at a Christian youth conference. His were vibrating so much that if eye contact was ever a problem for me in the past, it certainly was with him. I scoured Wikipedia when I got back from the conference to see what it could have ... |

Agreed--it is pretty dubious sounding.
The first part might be a good plot for a fictional story, however. |

In fact this course had a lot of group work which was very stressful, although I did get a good degree. The only thing I worry about now is finding a job where team work isn’t ... |
