Asperger Syndrome Support Group
Asperger syndrome - also referred to as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger's, Aspergers or just AS - is one of five neurobiological pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), and is characterized by deficiencies in social and communication skills, normal to above normal intelligence, and standard language development.
I posted a thread not too long ago about my AS partner's interview for a sales position. He was so concerned about his body language, facial expressions, and eye contact (or lack thereof). He honestly didn't think he was going to get the job and had a terrible feeling after the interview. He tends to be hard on himself, so I told him it probably was better than he thought.
We have been working together on these skills (nonverbal language) together for a while, and it seems the hard work paid off! He got the job!! This is what he needed...he needed a company that appreciates his musical intelligence and talent, and he needed the confirmation that he is growing and changing as a person, and improving his social skills through hard work!
Just thought I would share some good news.

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
It's great that he got a job in an area he he enjoys - music!
