I call Quicksilver, because he's awesome! Although, I would rather stay me, so I'll go with Quicksilver's powers.
same question

i know nothing of the x men so i will also say quicksilver.

what is your greatest creation?

The song 'Tell Me Now' which I composed in 1990.

Do you like Jack Daniel's?

I don't know what that is.

Same question.

Sorry. No liquor for Robin.

Sting or The Police?

Sting


Genesis or Peter Gabriel?

Peter Gabriel. Funny you should mention him because Peter Gabriel and Sting are touring together.

Robin wants to go and see Sting with Peter Gabriel when they come to Key Arena this year. Can you lend him $1000?

Unfortunately, I sincerely don't have the funds to provide you such a nice adventure.

Could you help me get back into the workplace without all the hassle from whether I'm hired or not?

^ I'm not understanding the end piece of your question - "...hassle from whether I'm hired or not?" Is it a hassle to hear from a manager if you've been hired? Isn't a simple, "You're hired" statement good enough?

I suppose, it's better to be hired than fired.

Do you think overall employment of autistic persons through the job markets will improve?

I hope so. Some companies, like Microsoft, are taking the lead.

Note: I can't prove the following, but my careful observations lately, at least in Seattle, seem to support it somewhat: Did you know that 1% of the general population is autistic but 75% of all homeless people are autistic?

I knew the 1% part but I've never heard about 75% of homeless people are autistic. That seems way off balance and unfair. I just wonder where you get that statistic. I'm assuming it depends on where you live. A lot of homeless people put themselves there because they have a problem with drugs. I know that sounds cold and many people are homeless because of circumstances beyond their control, but that's not true for everyone, and in most cases it has little to do with any medical conditions they may have.

Same question.

I've heard how many autistic people can find themselves homeless through a variety of reasons. As it relates to the autistic spectrum, do most persons tend to have this vision of some nerdy/geek male whom lives in the basement of his parent(s)? I say this cause many individuals don't realize that there are many people which make up the entire spectrum other than the preconceived stereotypes depicted in the media.

I'd say that's a pretty fair stereotype. The perpetual geek. The oddball nerd. The weird one.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, and it's probably nothing more than that, but many times over the past couple of months, if I happen to find myself in the company of three homeless people I've just met, three of us four will say they have Asperger's. What's sad, though, is nearly 100% of the homeless I've encountered are substance abusers or alcoholics, unless they're really out there in Deep Space Nine and don't know the difference between a crow and a can of paint. BTW, I'm homeless and spend quite a lot of time in the company of the homeless, like at food pantries, in libraries, social service organizations, out in the street, etc.

Are you good with reading atlases?

Not too bad..


This might be a difficult question to answer but, have you had any scenarios involving the law?

Not really. There was one time when I had a meltdown in public and a police officer came and checked on me, but that's about it.

Same question.
