| That's not really easy for us. One on one, I can pass as NT for short periods.....but career depot person suggested that I use networking skills.....I've tried that. Doesn't really work. In groups of people, I'm overlooked and ignored. |

| People prefer to be those that are powerful/influential/popular. If you're none of those things than be prepared to eat alone unless you find other outcasts. Even amongst NT outcasts, they will toss you aside if they get a crumb thrown to them from the in crowd. |

| About those state roads in Florida. You don't want to walking on those as an adult let alone a child. The alligators and snakes as well as the weirdos FL is known are scary. You are lucky to have made it. |

Nope, you're not self dx'd from what I see. Your dx was made but the problem is tracking it down. I had the same problem and for all the same reasons. My family won't talk about it.

I tried recently to get a dialogue going with my mom about this and she clearly ignored everything I said (Facebook private message).
