    Do you think autistic adults can get jobs involving social skills?

    I have a social job and I don't really mind it at all, except there's a reason why. I work with children and about 3/4 of them are autistic so we kind of understand each other. And even the 1/4 that aren't autistic, it's fine as well. Something about communicating with a child is so much...

    there was a genome study done (maybe I'll find it and post it) that showed that groups of friends either all shared a common gene or did not posses said gene and somehow subconsciously they were drawn to each other. The same results were shown for couples and a certain gene that relates to...

    Organized or messy?

    I'm messy but unintentionally so and some have said previously. Been that way my whole life. In fact, my 5th grade teacher told my mom that I'd "need to either have a good secretary or a good wife or he's not going to make it." Fortunately, I have an excellent wife who can keep all my affairs...

    new introduction

    Hello, greetings, salutations, and the like. I just registered here this morning and wanted, well, maybe wanted isn't the right term, but felt like it was expected of me to introduce myself :) I'm 27, never been officially diagnosed, but I waver between saying I'm an aspie vs I'm slightly...
