    Aspies Using Different Accents

    I've been asked where I'm from on numerous occasions as I apparently have an accent that most people attribute to me being from the US, New Zealand or Australia. I thought this was because I worked with Czechs and Slovaks for five years and/or was because of exposure to US TV.

    The poor communication at my current job is starting to massively irritate and trigger me.

    I just don't get it. If their scientific records were treated in the same manner as they deal with IT support they'd never get anything done as they'd be violating their processes and essential data would be missing meaning their experiments would be classed as failures.

    The poor communication at my current job is starting to massively irritate and trigger me.

    I broke down the ticket with screenshots of each section and bullet points explaining the many issues with it in an email and at the end recommended that in future involving third parties in such a situation is inefficient and not including essential information when creating a ticket not only...

    The poor communication at my current job is starting to massively irritate and trigger me.

    My missus thinks I need a job that minimises contact with people. I'm inclined to agree. In the past I've considered field engineer roles - perhaps I should pursue this avenue.

    Over the past couple of days I've had... To chase a whole bunch of people for basic information that should've been provided in a ticket Was given 12 minutes notice for an important meeting that needed network ports connected - made harder by essential training and documentation not existing...

    Thinking of Leaving Christianity

    There are likely people with degrees still trying to prove the existence of the Loch Ness monster. This proves nothing.

    Thinking of Leaving Christianity

    People can still be highly educated and believe in the supernatural - we are humans and therefore capable of biases and irrationality even when presented with evidence. There is no credible evidence to support its existence. Human perception is not a valid source of evidence. Show me a peer...

    Disappointed with the 'help'

    I had similar experience at my old job. I was diagnosed in July 2018 at 37 years old. I was completely open and honest with them about my condition, how the environment was affecting me and requested some changes to procedures. They did very little, instead feeding me lip service while I was...

    Canned solutions that never work.

    These are noobish responses. Just like the whole "have you tried turning it off and on again" stereotype perpetuated by The IT Crowd. People that use this solution clearly have no idea how to use Task Manager or whatever process / resource manager is integrated into their OS.

    Canned solutions that never work.

    I don't assume. My analysis is based on observation. I work in IT support and have done for 20 years. I know when someone lacks technical knowledge, especially on helpdesks.

    Canned solutions that never work.

    I am highly intolerant of script reading tech support noobs that demonstrate a lack of technical knowledge.

    Have you ever experienced the following and would you attribute it to Autism?

    Are ASC related anxiety and the ones mentioned different?

    Thinking of Leaving Christianity

    I submit that if you educate yourself in science from credible sources you may stop believing in the supernatural. My parents have been fundamentalist evangelical Christians for over 30 years. Had to live with it for 12 years then left home 21 years ago but still respected their beliefs, until...

    Have you ever experienced the following and would you attribute it to Autism?

    I used to live in shared houses a lot from about 18-32 and would hate communal areas like kitchens or lounges and would hide in my room feeling anxious until they went into their room and then would feel anxious and alert when using it just in case I thought I could hear someone heading in my...
