So did I. Either that, or I was overqualified. Most of the time, Walmart hires people who barely speak English, have few if any job prospects, have been on welfare or other government assistance, and whatnot. |

| Why couldn't someone with cooler name have discovered AS? Or maybe change the name altogether. Autism is discovered by a guy name Kanner, yet its not very often reffered as Kanner's syndrome.

| I noticed that a lot of posts where Aspies claim that they are more logical than NT's. Pretty much, most people would say logic is more important than emotions.
