I was reading your link to the article on Asperger's and lack of empathy. I think it's wrong for people to assume Asperger's Syndrome or a person on the Autism Spectrum means someone is uncaring. The article you linked to seemed to make the husband appear as an immature child-like person, rather then a person who has trouble expressing their feelings because they may be overwhelming.

What troubled me was the joke about "Oh a man died in the washroom, when can they take him out so I can go in?", people actually people on the Autism Spectrum actually think this way. I understand if you feel you relate to the article, or it explains why you find trouble making friends. However, I see it as another article making people with Asperger's Syndrome seem as other, or intimidating. I honestly think there should be less of this notion, that a lack of empathy is the same thing as being uncaring or even narccistic. Perhaps you should note in this post, that the majority of people with Asperger's Syndrome do understand how to interact with others, and a lack of empathy doesn't mean "Acts like a bratty 2 year old child" as the article seemed to suggest.

That's neat- declare yourself disabled in a trendy, non proessionally evaluated way! Lots of other people who wish they were ill, too, can all sing along. I can't wait until we get to read all about your traumatic brain injury.

The overarching dx here is Mnchausen Syndrome, and delight of delights it, too, has workplace consequencs!

Congrats Penelope, I have one piece of advice as someone with several businesses. Use your marketing budget very wisely and I would advise on internet marketing for obvious reasons. Good luck anyway, it's a tough road but the rewards are worth it in the end!

I was thirsty on a long-distance train recently. I wasn’t planning to have a coke when I got to the buffet

#1: You Rock. Your journey has been inspiring and humorous to follow. (I say humorous in the good way, I promise.)

#2: Updating my Brazen profile has just made its way to my Highrise task list. It takes a lot to get on that list.

#3: One day when you're rich and famous, you'll hire a consumer marketing strategist like me to take on the Ryan Healy guns.

#4: My best to you, your son, and The Farmer,
Zach (a web geek who grew up on a tobacco farm)

JOhn–you're a genius. I like to read PT because she's entertaining, but I don't believe a word of any of it, including "the", "a" and "and".

The self-created are fun to watch.

Just a quick note; I'm having problems with the email notifications. I've turned those off in the settings couple times already and checked that they've been saved, but I still keep receiving them and after I log back in the settings have been reverted.

Anyone else having similar problem?
