    Working and Minorities and ASD and "bad men"

    Yes. Unfortunately, there are people to take it upon themselves (whatever their internal motivations) to perceive weakness or flaw in another human being...then boldly, without hesitation...expose it, exploit it, hold power over it, or kill it. The victim of that offense has three...

    Working and Minorities and ASD and "bad men"

    Now, you are getting to the core of a person here. What makes a person gravitate towards any religion? Why are some people more likely to be intellectually engaged in their belief systems and cognitive biases? To them...the teachings within the religion ARE logical and wise. The world is...

    Working and Minorities and ASD and "bad men"

    I am not well-versed in your culture or what you have been told...but being unemployed...as a lifestyle or simply because no one will hire them has absolutely nothing to do with being homosexual or not. There are homosexuals who are very open...and are employed, sometimes in high positions...

    Working and Minorities and ASD and "bad men"

    Noted. However, when someone is deeply rooted in Islam and like some of us, perhaps a bit isolated socially, in our little bubble...this sort of thinking is understandable. @Hazel_1914, given the context and perspective in this regard, it is written in the Qur'an...so I wouldn't attribute...

    Working and Minorities and ASD and "bad men"

    I missed all of that, however, I do work in healthcare and have some understanding...and sympathy. I have had good acquaintances that have had autism and schizophrenia...amongst other conditions. As a friend, it is important to keep people grounded in reality...with respect. One can question...

    Working and Minorities and ASD and "bad men"

    Understood. I am sorry you had...and are having that experience. However, I am glad that you have found Islam to keep yourself grounded. Sometimes people find themselves without something to keep them focused and grounded...and end up being lost...or worse. A good life strategy. Agree...

    How Does One Deal With Social Burnout From Work?

    Nearly 40 years of busy ICU...non-stop patient monitor alarms, the lights, the talking, the phones, the constant interruptions, the staff, patient, and family interactions...totally understand this. Management: 1. "Mini breaks"...10 min in a bathroom, locker room, break room where you can be...

    Autism and mainstream education

    Likely happening or will be happening in other countries, as well.

    Working and Minorities and ASD and "bad men"

    It took me a few reads to grasp this, but...do you mean to say that you are living in Norway and because of your ASD, they will not allow you to work? You want to work because it gives you some meaning to your existence and they are denying that of you? OR...are you suggesting that because you...

    Which approaches help you more when memorizing new material?

    My thing was making flashcards. Question on one side, answer on the other. As a student, I find that many textbooks will have a series of questions and/or key points at the end of each chapter. I will use them to make my flashcards. I like colored pens or fine-point markers, 3x5 index cards...

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

    Personally, my knowledge of socializing and social skills grew in stages throughout my life. As a child, it was primarily focused upon social manners, being polite, respect, self discipline, emotional discipline, not hitting other people, etc. Then, I think it was another few decades of...

    Autism and Intellectual Impairment

    Agree, at least not in terms of the overall...general, daily functional intelligence. There may be very specific areas where there is low functioning, but because of the adaptive responses we often have, we lean into our strengths, often directing our energies and careers into areas where we...

    Autism and Intellectual Impairment

    All evidence suggests this sort of phenomenon is consistent with the autism experience. Many here are of the self-diagnosed, but those of us that did go through the process of a comprehensive clinical diagnosis and have been tested like this will have likely had what I call "asymmetrical...
