    Work Problems

    Thanks for your comments and honesty which is something I need at times. The thing is I really do help the team out a lot either if they ask me which they often do. If I find errors I tend to do them quietly behind the scenes, without getting anyone in trouble. One of my current roles is...

    Work Problems

    Work problems continue. The office move is largely completed and I have a new set desk. It is still not ideal as it is rather noisy at times, but nothing terribly bad. However there are a couple of linked issues 1. Beside me in the office there is a door which some people like open as it...

    Work Problems

    Thanks for the replies, so far it has worked decently, and I have been allowed to plug my earphones in from time to time. The distractions though have been noticeable by everyone, and generally there is not that much support for the changes in working conditions. There has also been some...

    Aspergers Terminology Rant

    I would replace the terminology special interest, with "deep interest". Everybody in life has interest in something but it just that our interests can be a bit deeper than others. Passion as mentioned above is also good terminology.

    My list of Aspie (ASD level 1) symptoms/characteristics

    When I first read this I thought this will be a bit general, and some of the points raised are not exclusive to those on the ASD spectrum. However nearly all of the points raised impact me to a greater or lesser extent. In particular though theses are things which resonate with me the most...

    Feeling Alien

    Thank you for all the replies, my loneliness comes down to a variety of factors. I'm naturally not good around people. I am difficult to be around as one day I could be chatty, other days I would rather curl up in a ball, and for everyone else to go away, this uncertainty for other people must...

    "You use autism as an excuse."

    I can totally see where you are coming from and can relate to much of that. However it appears to me that you are being too hard on yourself and try to eliminate bitterness as the only person it ends up destroying is yourself. You can only do your best, don't forget that.

    The Last of Us

    I have Life is Strange on PS4, and I would recommend that too. Great Soundtrack on that game as well.

    "You use autism as an excuse."

    Of course Autism is a spectrum and people have different degrees of it. However having it does make gauging other people more difficult, picking up little cues/ body language does not come as easy to me. On a good day, I can be quite good at it, even if it tiring, other days when stressed I...

    Feeling Alien

    Over the past couple of weeks, I have had meals with my two older brothers both of which have children and have pretty eventful lives. While I have a good job, my social skills are weaker and my social circle is far narrower and I don't see a romantic interest ever being on the cards. After...

    Workplace Inter-Personal Relationships

    Thank you for all the replies, to be honest I don't understand myself a lot of the time, so to try to get others to understand me is an impossible task. I think I will try to bite my tongue in future, and also try to fit in a bit more. Working with me cannot be easy but being me is even more...
