In my opinion, students with AS should be put to work at age 14. I wish I was.


What does being put to work have to do with anything?

There's no use in going to College for Aspies, becasue social skills are the most important part of a job.

It is inappropriate to generalize. There may be folks who can't handle it, but then again there's a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy sometimes. I have two college degrees and a great job. My social experience in college was severely limited, but I excelled academically. I had to take some time to find a job with limited social interaction but without that college education, I wouldn't have this job I love now.

This kinda cracks me up as any relationship needs this kind of communication to last.

Quote:
There’s none of the “if you have to even ask what’s wrong, then forget it” passive-aggressiveness many couples experience, no expectation of mind reading.


This was written with the assumption that female readers (mostly NT too) actually think a non-direct approach is romantic. Nothing is more romantic than passive-aggressive behavior.

If you don't have a college degree in the US (and I think Europe but not sure), the best job you can land is something in retail, which has a whole lot of socialization...

I still don't get how Aspie boys in Norway just end up as something equalling ret*ds and how they end up as Nobel Prize winners in the US.

So come to the US. Preferably a state in the Northeast like New Jersey, Vermont, or Massachusetts, since those states are the more progressive states in the union (and therefore more in line with mainstream European)...
