    Do you recognize if you're being "rude"?

    A lot. I've been told I'm rude, condescending, "high and mighty" many times. I certainly don't mean to. I've found that my tone of voice comes out in a way that's completely unintended, which has lead to some hairy situations in the past. When I speak it sounds totally normal to me, a...

    Working from home??

    I did some poking around at that link after it was posted here. I found one data entry job (kind of what I was looking for, something simple) and it required an associate's degree. Hmmm... Anyway, I finally ended up landing a job, I'm working as a driver for the car lot my girlfriend works...

    Working from home??

    I am a bit of a computer junky, but only on the hardware side. I could never get into software or web design. :( Thanks, looking at that right now.

    Working from home??

    Does anyone have any resources in finding one? Recently my being unemployed has become a real issue here at home. I'm at risk of having to move out because my girlfriend simply can't support both of us by herself (if it comes down to that I'll be on the streets). The problem is, I'm just...

    Obsessions or compulsions that annoy you :(

    I do something similar, I have to count sips when I drink anything. I know I have more but most are subconscious and I don't really realize I'm doing them most of the time. Plus my memory is so flighty these days... I'll pick up that I'm doing something every now and then, then totally...

    Hello, new suspected aspie here

    Thanks, nice to see someone with a similar story. I know little to nothing about unions, most jobs I've had have vehemently been anti-union. Thanks :D

    Shutdowns at work?

    I get the drama queen a lot too. It isn't intentional, and I don't think that's really it, I think it's just a cop-out phrase used by a lot of people for someone they don't like.

    Shutdowns at work?

    Music has always been a getaway for me too, but almost turned into an evil by itself. As a kid I started playing music in my head to get away from things, but leave me present enough that I could still somewhat function. I say it turned into it's own evil because for many years now I haven't...

    Hello, new suspected aspie here

    Scoliosis. I have a mild case of that as well. I never knew until I injured my back at a job and had to have x-rays done.

    Obsessions or compulsions that annoy you :(

    Anybody else have one? Or more than one? I have a couple that are a constant annoyance to me. I can barely stand to watch tv or movies because I continuously write the word NOW on the screen, forwards and backwards, over and over for the entire length of time I'm sitting there. I always end...

    Your video game collection

    I'm a pretty hardcore pc gamer, I think I have 150 or more titles right now, box copies and digital. I always saw myself as sort of a collector (and very avid player). I hate that most games are moving to digital these days, I really enjoy having a physical copy to put on the shelf.

    Do All of You Have a Thing???

    I bounce around between a whole horde of different obsessions. Usually when I find something that interests me I get neck deep into it and stay there until I manage to burn myself out on it. Lately it was vaping, getting into rebuildable devices and everything related to it. That lasted a few...

    Aspies and Art

    I've dabbled in many artistic things through the years. Back in high school and a few years after I used to draw a lot, usually for my own pleasure but in the military I did a lot of tattoos for people, and I have one of my own dragons on my rib. I also played E flat and B flat clarinet, and...

    Not QUITE an Obsession, But....

    I never got too big into the table top scene, but the few times I did play I enjoyed it. I'm much more of a pc gamer, I've played most of the D&D titles out there and my current obsession is Neverwinter.
