| Everything you have written is true to my experience. By the time any of these start to happen there's little chance of redemption and sadly there's no protection from this "discrimination" (read the boards here). You might try having a discussion with someone in HR who is open to people w... |

| The first time I got drunk I was 26 (finished college) . I had one margarita. I didn't lose control nor did I get sick. I was with my fiancee, a very responsible person, and he was very kind. Some religions frown on drinking, so do some geographic areas. However some areas have *a lot* of people who... |

| I agree with cathylynn too. These things seem really raw at first (rawer for us), but they do blow over. You have to remember that people are so caught up in their own lives they rarely give you a thought. It was smart of you to apologize, but for godsake don't tell her you have aspergers. She was p... |

| I hope your case is going well. It sounds like you've done everything right. That does nothing for the anxiety. Most people feel anxious in an unusual situation, and as aspies it's even worse. However, good people that want to make a difference made laws to protect those against others who would pre... |

I was never cruel to animals! I do empathize with people, unfortunately I just don't usually care what they think. |
