Thanks for the advice and insight I really appreciate everyone’s input and I enjoy discussing AS with people who understand it, I rarely meet people who do. Just to explain some things about me, I live in South Africa not the UK. I don’t think I’ve ever met more the 3 people who are aware of the fac...

That's awesome advice, thanks. I read 5 newspapers a day so I'm confident I'm up to date on current affairs.

Thank you for the advice and the support from all of you. The company I work for has brought all the employees from all the offices around the world together for a week long conference.

I’ve posted here a few times before, simple replies and vague attempts at helping someone but I’ve spent far more time reading this board and what people have to say or merely searching the internet for information I deemed relevant to my condition. I’m 30 years old and was diagnosed with Aspergers ...

There is a VERY long discussion begun by a person asking much the same question earlier this month. The writer details numerous "symptoms" of aspergers that they exhibit along with numerous other that they don't. My suggestion is that you read through as much of it as you can, as I say it's very lon...

I've always found that interviews are a test of your ability to read people.

I laughed when I read this! I was so pleased to hear I'm not the only person who hates the phone! The guys at work think I'm weird because I refuse to correspond with people on the phone. The bank particularly like dealing with me when I demand an email. This has 2 plus sides since I get to think of...
