    How Will You Spend Thanksgiving Day and Why?

    I'm spending Thanksgiving with my partner and my dad, and probably will want to do a lot of the cooking. Every year I make (the best) stuffing, sour cream mashed potatoes, and yam-stuffed oranges topped with pecans and maple syrup. My dad bought a big turkey from a farm. Yumm. Luckily my family...

    Disclosure and accommodations?

    Haha, I guess it's another one of those things where it would be useful to be capable of reading people's attitudes / intentions. :) I'll use the case-by-case approach, if someone is really confused by me, I'll just tell them I am neurologically different.. maybe I don't need to mention AS...

    Disclosure and accommodations?

    What do you like to collect?

    I collect wheat pennies and books published before 1945. My dad and my partner both know that there is nothing that makes me happier on my birthday or Christmas than a super old book, especially if it's poetry or scientific.

    Disclosure and accommodations?

    I'm currently about to ask for a desk in an office (we have an open office layout). I feel really weird about it because typically only managers get offices, and I am not a manager. But no one's using that desk, and I hardly ever get any work done during normal work hours and I constantly have a...

    'Ello, my name is Katia

    I'm an engineer, physics and sci-fi enthusiast, lover of electronic music. I was just diagnosed with Asperger's a couple of weeks ago. I'm so glad to find out this community exists... I sure do have a lot of questions.
