    Have you ever been happy?

    Thanks Aspiegirl! I take my son to a jujitsu class three times a week. Just putting on my "congenial mask" when I walk into the waiting room where other parents are sitting is incredibly demanding.

    Have you ever been happy?

    With all due respect, are you really serious or are you just being a troll? Yes, we get that things could always be worse. I could be living in a warzone and being subjected to a genocidal campaign. I've actually said that to myself at one point. Autistic people are a lot more perceptive than...

    High education; Menial jobs

    Hi HP. I'm also overeducated and underemployed. Like you I have a BA in English which I received back in 1991. I was diagnosed with Asperger's just 18 months ago. For nearly 20 years, I've been working for the same company doing phone based customer service. I can certainly relate to your...
