    Question

    I can't comment on how it would help with your wife, however, I I am so sorry your family has to face this situation. For me, a diagnosis was both freeing and confining at the same time. Let me explain. I was 35 when I received my ASD diagnosis. Prior to that I didn't have a clue there was...

    Thanks to everyone for replying, I think what I'm getting from most of these replies, except from the last one Sarah is that I should learn to not highlight error in those higher in rank to myself or those around me. I know I should try to pick my battles and I do for a while but eventually...

    Wow! A flaw would be someone not knowing how to respond to someone in need of help. What I point out to work colleagues is an incorrect application of a law, or standard which either results in someone's potential death, injury or significant financial loss. I should just not say anything should...

    Hi all, I am a 40 year Australian man who was diagnosed with ASD level 1 about 4 years ago, and at the beginning of this year I was also diagnosed with ADD. I consider myself to be a highly moral and empathetic individual, but no one ever seems to like me and I never could figure out why. I...
