| What about people with ASD who have an MBA? I have both. I received an MBA as well, albeit through a part-time, night time program. Without a doubt, I am quite different than the typical MBA graduate. Me too! :) Even though here in Hungary the extroverted ideal of managing is not as strong as overs... |

I have both. I think leading a company or one of its departments is not to my taste considering tough real life situations and the resulting stress.
However, having an MBA has had a boost on my career opportunities. |

"situation based depression, getting depressed easily, but with a reason"
I'm prone to depression. Sadly, it gets worse as I age. Sometimes I get into hypomanic mood, never reaching true clinical manic state (have a sibling with bipolar). |

| You may catch up later. Not everyone who's been successful in school is doing just as well later in life, the same goes for behavioral problems and difficulties with fitting in. Endurance and persistence also play a role. Einstein wasn't a good student, for example. New ideas often come from origina... |

| Your language impairment excludes you from the old Asperger's diagnosis, so you probably would've been diagnosed with autistic disorder. ...or PDD-NOS, for that matter. I can't find it in the poll (of course). Swiper, your obsession over the topic bears some similarity with mine when I got the ambi... |

Newer is not always better.) I particularly liked ... |

| @tomato I can relate to most of your experience, except I have a fairly decent job (thanks to my struggles and a handful of luck). I have already suggested a connection between mild schizoid or sczizotypal traits and autistic behavior at this forum, but it didn't have much effect. Yet I think that i... |

Yesterday I visited Arundel, the castle, the temple and the cathedral. The castle is fabulously rich and magnificent, beyond expectations, even comparable to B... |

| Well, no one had come, apart from me. Whether because choosing Sunday wasn't a good idea in the first place, or failing to present the leading poll option, the Guild Hall, or something else, I don't know. The Chandos was closed but I was standing at the corner from 10:54 to 11:30. This is the second... |

Today I visited the ground level of Victoria and Albert Museum, then went to buy some cold food and was looking for a sport-jacke... |

| I think it would be better to discuss the whereabouts of the meet-up in person. We can meet at the Chandos pub near Trafalgar Square and then decide where to go. (This way at least we have a better chance to actually meet each other.) *** If you'd like to come to the meet-up, please go to the Chando... |
