I love the Temple Grandin story. She a true pioneer of Aspergers growth.

Loved this. You're both amazing. Can relate so much. Let's remember how fabulous we truly are, even with our deficits.

I was bullied especially in junior high school (age 12-14). I missed a lot of highschool being in psychiatric hospitals. They didn't know I had autism. They just diagnosed me with various mental illnesses. I couldn't complete college and I always regret that. I feel like I have something to offer to the world but I don't fit into the structure of society.

My anxiety is already a burden for me, but its made worse by people trying to hurt me daily and for no apparent reason. I always try to be respectful and kind, and just do my job, nd yet people are looking for issues with me. In every job, i always end up in the same place.

Thank you so much, I think you are both amazing. Thank you for talking about overcoming anxiety. My daughter still struggles with it but she has had some amazing people help her along the way. I remember when she was in kindergarten she was terrified of public restrooms and would not go into them at school. One of her teachers made it a game with her to go into every bathroom in the school to see what was different in each one like they were detectives. That got her over her fear when the activity was done she had no problem using the restroom. Thank you for sharing your story Temple. We've had many other hurdles she was able to get over and many more to climb as a young adult. We just try to keep learning and moving forward.

I always had to move every year as a kid. So I never got to make a real friend. I always joined the wrestling team or football team. It was the only way I could interact with people. I am always to honest so making friends or a relationship is impossible. I don't know how to explain myself well. So when I get mad I'm very misunderstood. My actions are never threatening but my words are. I'm good at holding a job because I am routine based. But I injured my shoudler riding my scooter so I lost my job. Still rehabing my shoulder so it will be 3 months before I work again. I got over 17 years experience in retail in two jobs. So I know I can get a job again.

There's way to get information off a broken hard drive. Just get a sata chord and a computer and you can send the information over. But I understand getting frustrated about somebodies life work on a plastic my passport. Instead of a building with file cabinets and displays.

good talk about mental health. I have a question. Youve built slaughterhouses for animals, how is the mental health of the workers who have to kill and torture animals for a living? Does building slaughterhouses help with their mental health? How about yours? How is your mental health, knowing you build buildings designed for violence?
