        2. How was your Day at work today
The people who I live with at the group home say that they will not
answer my questions
2. When I ask questions to the Group home staff at my group home they
say Talk to my housemates and that they will not talk to me
3. The Group home staff get mad at me when I ask Questions to the
people who I live with at my group home
4. People do not understand that I have been told by my group home
that I DO NOT get Money for STAMPS and I would like stamps to help me
with mailing my postal letters I like haveing postal mail pen pals
5. People do not understand that I need help with Stamps and Money for
getting things like Haircuts and things from walmart because I have
been told by my group home that I DO NOT get Money for STAMPS and
money for getting things like Haircuts and things from walmart.
6. People do not understand I would like cards once in a while to
cheer me up like for example at Christmas time and on my Birthday
7. People do not understand I am always looking for more e-mail pen
pals and postal mail pen pals even though I have about 80 pen pals

               When, oh when will a hotshot legal beagle or politician finally
get some real balls with a monopoly-antitrust investigation or consumer
protection legislation to regulate our current robber barons, big oil and OPEC?
   Over 100 years ago, the United States had to break up monopolies in different
industries and impose various business regulations.
   When oil companies are making obscene profits, then everyone knows something
is very wrong. The public shouldn't be the only one crying foul. It's time to
tell Congress, the federal Justice Department, and state Attorney Generals to do
something now!
   Is it a monopoly, collusion or a violation of some old law? We won't know
unless someone really investigates these companies.
   Record obscene profits mean Joe-Q-Public is getting ripped off.
    It doesn't help that OPEC is holding the world by the balls by limiting oil
production when the world is crying out for more. Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
ought to be paying us in oil for providing security to the Middle East.
   Someone in the administration or Congress needs to remind OPEC that if they
screw with our economy, then we can withhold our military and other aid. Just
send all those Arab college students home.
   Even if the oil company executives aren't in collusion, it is  sure time to
regulate this vital public industry. America regulates   utilities  such as gas,
water and telephone companies and services such as the broadcast airwaves,
airlines and health care.
    So why not limit excessive executive salaries and perks plus obscene profits
if they exceed  boundaries like the state's usury limit?
   Outrageous, sky high salaries and perks for the top dogs wouldn't be so bad if
the executives shared the wealth with lot higher salaries and perks  for the
grunts who do the actual work. Or actually invested profits in developing more
refining and production capacity.
   If you agree, write this fine newspaper, call or write your state or federal
legislator,  or tell your local politician or business leader. Let's see some
action before gas hits $5 a gallon!

Hello! My name is Angela Yeung and I am a doctoral student at University
of Hartford, Connecticut. I am currently recruiting participants for my
dissertation study, which intends to examine friendships for children
with Asperger's Disorder. Specifically, I am recruiting children between
the ages of 8-12 with the diagnosis of Asperger's Disorder (aka Asperger
syndrome) in the U.S. In my study, I will be asking children to complete
questionnaires to see how they view friendships. Please go to the
following website to fill out contact information if interested to hear
more about the study:

I think is a GREAT idea to start a book club.
Your website is really neat, great contribution to the grop.
The backgorund of your web site is a little hard to read...I am in my
early 50s and have a hard time reading.  Just an FYI, most parents
must be having similar eye troubles.
My son is 19 years old and is having a hard time finding a job. He
probably won't buy the book because he needs the money to buy college
books.  I am wondering if we could approach a publisher for donations
for the group.
I would like to ask you some personal questions.  My son wonders if
any girl will love him and if he will be able to love.  Please reply.
Happy New Year!

I found the following article to be great.

"Stefan Kavan, who will graduate from New Prague High School this spring, is
helping people understand what it's like to be autistic..."

[Sidebar:]

STEFAN ON AUTISM

• It's hard to talk to friends. I don't understand their feelings.

• I never lie. That can cause trouble. You may have to tell a white lie
sometimes.

• I like to talk about trains, cow farms and Montana.

• Learning facts is more enjoyable than socializing.

• I passed my permit test, but I do not drive yet. I don't like traffic jams. At
all. It's a big responsibility to drive.

• Fire drills and bells affect my ears.

• In class, I sit in front by the door.

• If I get too close to your space or hair, tell me. Be kind.

Getting to know Stefan

This article is the second in a series of stories following Stefan Kavan through
his senior year at New Prague High School. The first story on Stefan is
available at www.startribune.com/a3607.

The only real, even near-close to romantic love of life my life was in his
seventies, (not counting a first grade boyfriend who left me around third grade
when I didn't "grow in maturity" like  the other kids). I was in my late 30s. We
were both undiagnosed Aspies. Belonging to the same species is more important
than age. We aspies are ageless, child- like in our loves but extremely deep and
stormy. She will understand you a whole lot more than a NT would and you may be
her only chance of being understood by anyone but God. The fact her parents
"like you already," is a very, telling thing in a positive way. They know their
daughter even better than you do.  If they think it has a chance, it very well
may. Ignore, ab-SO-LUTE-LY, ignore  what "one person told you." That person
doesn't know diddly squat about the situation. If you marry, do financial
planning together very carefully. She will, of course, very likely outlive you.
Consider not having kids. We make lousy parents. Or at least that has been my
(admittedly limited) experience.

  Go for it!

I honestly wouldn't worry about it...

    The most important thing, esp. considering you both have AS, is that you two
are at peace...and it may well be that this "young lady" has consistently run
into people her own age that are not at peace with her (likely out of
superficial-ity and need to be around someone who makes them look/feel more
normal than someone with AS).
    So, as a lesson I learned from Frank Kafka's "The Trial" and in life you are
only as guilty as you make yourself look and the amount of damage you actually
do...and it looks to me like you're a good person with best intentions and you'd
help everyone else best if you just sat back and enjoyed yourself. :-)

     Side note, I'm 27 and in a now over 2 year relationship with someone whose
relatives originally hated me but now love me...in the end actions proceed over
any preconceived notions about age, economic background, or other issues.

NT is short for neurotypical. I think it means non-autistic, or someone
without a developmental disorder of any kind.

Neurotypical. Someone who is NOT anywhere along the autistic spectrum.

Hi, Mark!

NT mean neurotypical. It basically means your average run-of-the-mill

I know the feeling. I can't count the number of times an NT has engaged me in
coversation and something like that happens. I try to lend my input as
articulately and briefly as I can and still I somehow manage to irritate them in
seconds. Its the only way I can explain why they give me a dismissive, bored
sounding 'yeah, right' and avert their gaze from me just as I start talking.

That is a very interesting suggestion. It sounds like it would be
difficult to do that. Does it ever make you tired or frustrated?

I wish they would study and figure out what is it about us that causes
neurotypicals to feel boredom and annoyance. I attended a wedding today. I was
talking with a lady on the subject SHE chose. Same response. Sigh.

I think that it may be easier for me to do, than for others to do.  I didn't
really pay attention in elementary school, instead I watched kids, and
learned their speech patterns.  I however, think it less tiring than
emulating people my own age.  When I'm nervous, I start bouncing up and down
on my toes.  When I need something, I get a smile on, and say please in the
same prompted manner a child would have.  It works well.  It's just a set of
routines.

That is a very interesting suggestion. It sounds like it would be
difficult to do that. Does it ever make you tired or frustrated?

My husband and one of my best friends are aspies.  My husband is on
anxiety meds that seem to help. (lexapro) My friend has a major hard time
with processing stuff.  She will ask silly questions, and to me it is just
a cute little quirk-  and I think it is OK for her to ask,  it is better
to ask and find out, than to never ask, get confused, and always wonder...
  Sometimes the ways she presents her questions is actually quite thought
provoking too.  So don't be too hard on yourself.  Telling people who
think you are a 'retard' that you need help understanding something will
help them understand you better!
Harmony
P.S. I think 6 year olds are awesome too!

This message has been scanned for viruses and

believed to be clean.

I think that will work for a male. I don't think it will work for a female.
Women are supposed to act more mature than males, even at six.

   I haven't really formed a coping plan, other than to withdraw into myself.
That's not good, I know. But I get socially rejected over and over again. I
can't read moods. By the time I realize I'm being a pest, I'm beyond social
redemption. The other day someone physically attacked me. That person is
probably on the spectrum himself and has unacknowledged depression and most men
react to depression by becoming angry and he finds me very annoying.  The last
time this happened I called the police and because I did not know to make eye
contact, they did not believe me. They believed him. This time, thank God their
were eyewitnesses and our minister talked to him, and we are to avoid each
other. That's not good enough I know, but I must do the best I can. This person
has more social status than I do. If I brought him down, there would be
repercussions that would not be good for me.

   Now I see what you mean by anxiety, thankyou. At 16, and attending a
   community college I am more aware than ever of my social limitations. But I
   have a method that works to allow me to function; I act like I am six. I
   ask innocent questions and make innocent remarks. This makes my social
   mistakes fade away as just something which that cute retard who's good at
   math did. I know that this might seem to be a self demeaning approach, but
   you have no idea how much I respect 6 year olds.

Now I see what you mean by anxiety, thankyou.  At 16, and attending a
community college I am more aware than ever of my social limitations.  But I
have a method that works to allow me to function; I act like I am six.  I
ask innocent questions and make innocent remarks.  This makes my social
mistakes fade away as just something which that cute retard who's good at
math did.  I know that this might seem to be a self demeaning approach, but
you have no idea how much I respect 6 year olds.

I know what you mean about anxiety getting worse in adulthood. I think it has to
do with becomming more self-aware and seeing how other people see my natural
behavior as rude, inconsiderate or just wierd. Every time I interacted with
someone I read (or thought I read) boredom and annoyance in their reaction to
me. Joining an aspie support group and finding friends who accept my surface
behavior unconditionally has done wonders for my confidence, but it still feels
like I had fear and worry when I was younger and didn't care what other people
thought about me. I don't know if this helps, but I do know what you're going
through anyway. take care!

Most of my anxiety is centered around school and social situations. I
am 21 and am in college. I feel anxious most of the day and am
exhausted when I get home. Even the smallest stressor can trigger
anxiety. Interacting with people is very difficult, and having a
speech impairment makes it even more difficult. At the end of the
day, I can't help but remind myself of all the mistakes I made. I
hope this answers your question.
