You shouldn't feel so bad about it. There seems to be a lot more stigma associated with this in the US than there is in Australia. The first American I ever met was having a bit of a rant, he'd come to Australia on business and wasn't getting his own way.
He said "The great American dream is to own a house bigger and better than your neighbours with a big swimming pool in the back yard and still have enough money to send all your kids to college. As far as I can tell the great Australian dream is to not have to work.".
I grinned and shook his hand and told him he'd got it right.
Our social security department is called Centrelink.
Went down into basement to find Screw to hang painting have storage cabinet in front or dryer Moved container of fabric softener and liquid detergent stored on top, paint missing rust present I spent years testing dryer and washer machine paint for specifically for detergent resistance. obviously whoever took over responsibility for quality after I left dropped the ball big time Who needs planned obsolescence.

It is my first time meeting another autistic attorney, irl or online! I am still not sure how i managed to become one, and got praise to boot!
I'm NT but I have a friend who is an autistic attorney. She specializes the disability claims and sets up Special Needs Trusts for many people, including my autistic nephew. She has an excellent reputation and I often refer people to her for representation.

That's amazing! It is my dream as well to help other disabled people in legal matters, to become a sort of activist even.

Res judicata ;-)
I really admire people who work with computers because I tried and my brain couldn’t do it at all!
My mom told me l should have gone to law school. But l did help my firm win a case simply as a paralegal. It's amazing how many talented people are at this website, and they give freely of themselves to help others who stumble and fall and just need support.
My brain is too active for computers, computers like logic chains that make sense not chains that fellow humans as programmers like to use. This is what held up AI originally.
