I've aways had a mental block with maths and was constantly told I was stupid or not trying hard enough at school. It turns out that I have a problem with abstract and relational thinking. I took my maths GCSE at the age of 30 (In England GCSE's are usually taken at age 16) and passed with flying co...

Yes, I think we must give off some kind of child-like vulnerability that brings out the worst in bullying types - at least until we catch on and learn to wear that hardened shell that thankfully came for me with age and experience. I feel it's a shame though, as I really like 1-1 company with good p...

I think anything is a bad as you feel it is at that point in time. If having AS feels like the worst that can happen, and it's happening to you, then it probably is the worst thing that can happen until either something that feels worse happens (that you couldn't have previously imagined) or your mi...

I was once on the receiving end of what I later realised was a bizzare form of bullying - and one I amagine would probably only be effective against Aspies (although I had no idea what Asperegers was at the time.) I had just begun my first real job (in my late 20s - I was a late starter) and was at ...

I should add, I agree apart from the Malthusian bit......I think the planet probably has quite enough resources to support us all, provided we're all willing to adapt our lifestyles accordingly. The problem is there are too many who would be unwilling to give up their lifestyles - they, and we, by o...

In my case, I am reducing debt, watching the media and general economic trends like a hawk. I am slowly working myself into a position to disappear into the countryside sometime in the next 10 years. I am a Malthusian meaning that I believe that resource depletion will finally cause our undoing. I ...

"Smile, it might never happen" - usually by fat, middle-aged truckers who think they are hilarious. I don't rally understand what it means anyway. Snap! What might never bloody happen?? That comment drives me potty! I had this said to me so many times in my youth that I walked around with a fake fi...
