| I see a lot of postings on here about aspies being undervalued in the workforce because we don't have talents and skills to bring to the table that are profitable to a company but aren't there things that neurotypicals do to make companies suffer by being not as loyal or reliable as us aspies are?

| I also have bipolar as well which for some reason seems to make everything feel twice as difficult to do, handle, or deal with. |

| Does anyone else feel like people in general really have trouble empathizing or understanding their frustrations and annoyances. Or it feels one sided like the person with aspergers always has to admit when their wrong or not knowledgeable but NTs don't need to fess up to their own mistakes |

| I have a lot of difficulty standing up for myself but its not due to low self esteem or being cowardly. I truly don't know how to explain and verbalized the thoughts, feelings, and ideas in my head articulately. Does anyone have any advice for how one can do this better. Also when you feel that some... |

| I don't mean to and I really don't want to but I don't see any other way. My straight friends have come to accept my aspergers but grasping gay too is a lot for them and so they continue forward in their straight life and I feel pushed into gay culture even though I don't agree with the partying asp... |

| I came out of the closet recently and have been coming to terms with being a triple minority (gay aspergers and jewish) and I'm wondering if I'm making a bigger deal out of it then it needs to be. In college I didn't care if people had a problem with my aspergers and since I wasn't out I wasn't look... |

| I've tried 2 things out recently. 1. In college I tried just talking and not caring what anyone else thought of what I was saying in order to allow me to set my own goals and feel my own confidence with each stride i took rather have others define it for me. That was when I wasnt looking for a relat... |

| Unless you've got really good skills understanding/talking to women this seems to be an issue with NTS. They cover it up by counting notches in a bedpost, but really thats there way of admitting they have no idea how to have a real relationship. If you're still young, theres nothing wrong with allow... |

| God do i know that feeling. The humor (as far as I go) comes from adversity in youth and the fact that if you just started complaining when you first met someone as to how hard it is to communicate with aspergers, theyd be gone quickly. Thinking entertaning/funny thoughts and projecting them seems t... |

| Do you think middle school kids who are getting diagnosed today get treated better in their schools then we did when we were kids? Like are other kids more understanding of differences with diagnostic names attached to it or because they're young are they still bullied and made fun of? |

Ones that have been in it long enough probably g... |
