    What kinds of workplace accommodations have you successfully received?

    If I look up "workplace accommodations for ASD" I see pages and pages of different recommendations, which makes sense given that there are many types of jobs and great variation on the spectrum. But the thought that continuously hits me is how often I find myself thinking "I had no idea this was...

    Do Aspies like other Aspies

    I used to dislike aspies until I accepted the fact that I was also one. Now I love them. :P

    Formal assessment (Ontario, Canada)

    I got my assessment at CAMH, it was (at least at that time) a pretty poor process. I just met with a psychiatrist for 1 hour and answered his questions about various things. Then he said "Yep you fit the criteria", no nuances or new insights that I hadn't already read or thought about, and no...

    Adapting to being single for life

    I am asexual, but I did for many years really long for someone to share life with for a bunch of reasons, and was incredibly discouraged (and confused) why for some reason sexual attraction and connection is the utmost important thing when it comes to finding someone to just.... live with. I...

    Anyone getting stressed when playing violent games?

    I hate games that require fast reaction times. They are the absolute opposite of enjoyable.

    "intimacy" in relationships

    Do stability and intimacy have to be balanced against each other? In other words: is intimacy destabilising? Not saying it's wrong, a genuine curiosity.

    Learning Languages

    I am curious how do you define "mother tongue"? I find the concept of "native language" (or "mother tongue", or even also "first language") to all start to become too complicated for the newer generations where increasingly large number of people actually do grow up speaking and naturally...

    Would you give anyone advice?

    I am happy to share my experience, including what I learned from it and would change differently about my own behaviour in the future, but presented within the context of what the experience was. And people are welcome to take from it whatever makes sense to them.

    Autistic bosses, yes ? no?

    I recently attended a job interview where after the standard set of questions, something very strange happened: Him: *looks at phone* well do you have any more questions? Me: *sees him looking at phone* well I know you are busy and so I'll keep this short, ... Him: oh no worries, I am just...

    Sympathy or Empathy For Inanimate Objects???

    I would seek out wisdom traditions and teachings in older cultures - which there are many, though how many are still well documented and held living today I am not sure - that taught an intuitive, embodied awareness of the living essence of plants and animals (among others kinds of "edibles"...

    What's the earliest sign you showed of autism?

    Lol. I didn't start talking until I was 3, and then when I did I only just parroted back random things I heard adults say that didn't make any sense whatsoever. I was actually told that "we were so afraid you would be autistic, and once you started actually talking we were SO relieved". hahahaha.
