  • RE: What to expect in my outcomes meeting??

    You can expect in the long term, to learn that government and it's minions & subsidiaries are not there to help you...

    I USED to run into a flurry of argument absolutely every time I said stuff like this, (I'm actually Apolitical, what some people…

  • RE: Eye contact - is it resolvable?

    Hi Longman,

    Your post intrigued me - as a fellow "mouth-watcher", the way you summarise your experience chimes with my own.

  • RE: Housing Crisis

    I'm not disagreeing with you on how it happened. My point is why it happened and that was down to the massive de-regulation of the 80's under Thatcher/Reagan that more or less continued to the 2008 crash.

  • Who are you? (Adult Aspie identities)

    It occurred to me when reading a post recently that adult Aspies sometimes seem to have spent so many years masking, mimicking & changing their behaviour to fit in that their "real" self has become subsumed by a "fake" self, or they feel they no longer…

  • RE: ESA reassessment-Form Arrived today

    Thank you for your words there, you have perspective and this is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about, going through this now becomes a one track thing where I lose that perspective I have built because it all collapses in on itself the longer…
