I got the idea from an episode of The Sara Silverman Program.
She said she stubbed her vagania.

I have been there. haven t broken a finger, but i have done some damage to my knuckles. Have you ever thought of taking up boxing? they have weighted heavy bags that bear a strange resemblance to any jerk that is putting you in a corner. I am sorry you are frustrated. Maybe you can set up a meeting with your boss and perhaps explain to him what AS is... especially the autism spectrum part... that seems like the easiest thing for nts to understand, what with 'rainman' and the like.

Thanks Dawn!
I explained it to them (my boss and VP), sent them the wikipedia link, and they knew!
When I explained it to them, they said. "No problem, it's okay! We won't fire you for that."
I explained that the AS never got me fired, it was the symptoms.
Like saying the wrong thing, awkward social interactions, etc. Ya know the stuff that got me fired from every other job I've ever had in my life!


I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!! !!
