    Asperger to Asperger housekeeper/personal assistant.

    Possibly but I would imagine the pay would be rather low. Most "caregiver" roles are not well-paid, and, as Outdated said, you would need to meet requirements, depending on where you live. I mean, if you're thinking you are going to be someone's roommate type thing, that would be fine, but...

    Medical mental health or allergies confusion

    Correct, and also consider that doctors have to deal with insurance companies/payments. Start simple/conservative treatment - which is less expensive. When that doesn't work, move up to the next step.

    Medical mental health or allergies confusion

    Fair warning: do not take my answer as medical advice because I am not a doctor. The doctor may have recommended Zyrtec (and other antihistamines) to help dry out your sinuses. Sometimes if there are changes in the atmosphere, like when it's rainy or storming, the pressure in your ears may be...

    List just one thing you did today

    Had a salad for lunch instead of something not great for me.

    I am having two MRI's Today. One with Gadolinium Contrast.

    I hope it went well, and I have not had one myself I have heard that the most concerning thing about MRIs is the feelings of being closed in. I have never heard anything negative about the contrast. Was also under the impression that people could have a mild sedative if there was no reason not...

    Musicals!

    Musicals are something that I either really really like or I hate them. So I only have a few on my list: The Music Man Hedwig and the Angry Inch The Rocky Horror Picture Show Mary Poppins Les Miserables

    Seeing the solution and being blocked

    I guess I would need to more on the situation before making any sort of judgement. Things like: what sort of job you do, what sort of work is being done, what process do you want to change and how are you making these suggestions. There may be reasons (legal, safety, etc.) why the processes...

    At least one good thing

    I wasn't there when it happened but yeah, they not only got our security department involved but also the police department. This person is on notice that if they come near the facility again they could face arrest. As far as the harassment, I don't know what's happening but I think there was a...

    At least one good thing

    Well, work issues still going on. This former manager is still harassing certain employees. This former manager also cleared out their stuff from the office and also turned off a vaccine freezer while they were there. So we almost lost a batch of vaccines. The good news is I finally managed to...

    What will you do if you win $1.3B in the Powerball?

    First step, hire an attorney. Then: quit job, buy one or two small houses somewhere (1 in northern Minnesota and 1 in maybe San Diego), buy 2 reliable vehicles, give my parents a sum of the $$ then invest the rest. Of course, to do this I'd have to buy a ticket which I haven't. :)

    How Does One Deal With Social Burnout From Work?

    I told you... healthcare is a beast. As Neonatal RRT said, manage yourself if you want to make this work. And consider if this is what you really want. It gets easier over time, but it's never going to be easy. There are no easy jobs in healthcare.

    Which approaches help you more when memorizing new material?

    I have different ways of remembering things. When I was taking my medical classes, I would remember the names and locations of bones and muscles by being familiar with their Latin names. Example: vastus lateralis (the largest muscle of the quadriceps) basically translates into "big side." So...

    Not really but I am interested in hearing from people who are not from the US who speak multiple languages. It's interesting to me to hear how their brains work, sometimes randomly switching from one language to another.

    What age did you guys realise how important socialising and social skills were?

    I think I learned this around early high school. I'm not great at it but I am getting better over all. I actually went to therapy for a bit and I do think that helped a lot because it helped me to resolve some anger issues I was having. So I think things are better for me these days.
