Also, for "can autistic people", there are "be violent", "be gay", "talk", "b... |

| I'm glad DrHouseHasAspergers is in there pitching jobs, but realistically, a part time job, or even a full time job in something like retail will not pay the bills for an independent living situation, so most probably I'd encourage you to think in terms of a (good or at least decent) roommate situa... |

Unless it's with my best friend Hannah, in which case there is zero effort or stress involved, we interact effortlessly and I never get irritated at her presence.
