Thanks guys. I've had a bit of a play with Access and that should be good for now. If it's a long term interest (not just the latest sparkly thing to catch my attention) then I'll look into SQL.  |

| I got 27 this time, but I've done this before with a psychologist and didn't do so well. It's a lot different doing it online than with another person present. For some of them I had to mimic them to see what that expression feels like. Others I had to picture the rest of the face. Mostly it was a c... |

At the moment I've got a word document open on the computer with a list of chores to get done today. Then I can just pick something off the list (doesn't have to be in order, becaus... |

| I think it would be ok to email his sister, just to find out that he's ok. Don't use her as a go-between, just find out his status and leave it at that. Then once you know he's ok, STOP WORRYING! :D I really think you're reading too much into it. He doesn't think like you. *Click here* This sums up ... |

But an aspie wanting time to himself, that's not really a problem! :lol: I tend to lose track of time easily. It feels like only a few days since I called my mum but it would have to be at least a week, prob... |

| Huh? I never said people should spend money they don't have. Getting married is a huge step in people's lives, and most people choose to celebrate it. How they celebrate it is up to the couple to decide, between the two of them, as responsible adults. It's not a question of "deserving" it. A lot of ... |

I don't trust my mum to keep secrets, and I think my brother wouldn't understand. It's not really something I'm ready to s... |

It makes me jumpy even when it's nothing to do with me. If I'm starting to panic, I concentrate really hard on the little stuff... |
