I just joined today. I have learning disability and aspergers. I do work full time in Washington DC and have been for 7 years. This is my first full time job after graduating from college in 2001. I was diagnosed with aspergers in 2007. I was diagnosed with learning disability since I was 4.

I'm from Virginia. The northern part, unfortunately. Even worse for me, I still live here. Glad to know you work in D.C. and welcome.

I have a rat terrier named Josie. Her feet smell like popcorn.

Being that she is a small size terrier, is she sometimes aggressive to bigger dogs?

I have a West Highland White Terrier. He will be 5 years old in few days.
