| Are there any jobs I would be a good fit?? I currently work as a pharmacy clerk but the job comes with daily stress and anxiety. I can't multitask well (which I have to do constantly), and every time a customer deviates from the standard questions I make it awkward. I've also been told that I do thi... |

| Hello everyone! I would love your guys' thoughts on this matter! I haven't had much luck at all in the dating field, until recently I came across a local guy around my age who has Aspergers too, and he seems interested in me. However, it's rather difficult to have a convo with him because his mind g... |

| Bearded dragons are not that hard to take care of once you have the setup. My friend's one just passed away from old age. They are actually a very good first pet because they are pretty simple to care for. But do the research and write a checklist of all the things you need to do for her and how of... |

| Well I imagine you'd also have to clean the cage from time to time, make sure you always have a supply of insects for it and of course make sure to close the cage when you're done feeding. So it may be a little more complicated than you think. Why exactly is it they don't think you could handle it?... |

| My Co-worker texted me today, asking if I wanted to have her bearded dragon as well as the cage and everything else for only 80 dollars, since she has too many pets and needs to get rid of some. I really want to have her and I'm willing to even spend my own money, but my parents won't allow it becau... |

| I'm rather curious about this, because I've always had a special bond with animals. My dogs and cats feel closer to me than anyone else in my family, and I feel like I can relate to animals a lot. A few times I've even been able to approach stray animals before while they ran away from other people.... |

| Most of my sensory sensitivity is light. I often have to squint my eyes or rub my eyes. Loud noises make me uncomfortable too, especially unexpected ones. |

| I usually do OK about where I know I'm at, unless if I happen to be in a larger, more crowded city since I'm used to driving on country roads. All of the cars, lights, and roads are super confusing to me and lots of locations look almost the same when there's so many buildings. |

2. Yep. 
3. Yes, on more than one occasion.
4. I guess sometimes.

Recently I acquired a new obsession about something that probably won't happen unfortunately, and that's getting a reptile as a pet... but despite knowing this, I still can't keep myself from looking up the best reptile pets and reptile care. My parents are getting annoyed with me bringing... |

| I do feel empathy, and I can recognize other's emotions or if something is bothering them fairly easily. I also can keep eye contact, but I trained myself to do that. |
