| Hi, Yes, I have had hyper-focused on people and usually guys who I have had crushes on. For example, I had a crush on a male on the autism spectrum to the point that I was obsessed. I would talk about him all the time to other friends and co-workers in my life. I would chase him on forums, chatrooms... |

| Kitlily, I know what you are getting at because people tend to make excuses for people's behavior anymore. E.G- A roommate bullied and abused me emotionally years ago because I didn't meet her expectations as a roommate. I.E- She lied about having a birthday party and that I wasn't invited because I... |

| I had written about that autistic male who I had a crush on and who I believe was a covert narcissist and I had written about him on several occasions. However, he treated me like a yo-yo. On the contrary, I have had a few friends who were narcissists and I have learned that we don't pick them, they... |

| Thanks Cyberdad, It helps to talk to someone else who knows what it’s like to work at a university. I also work in an environment where my colleagues know I am on the spectrum. So they do try to provide accommodations. I was also able to talk to my supervisor about how I felt last week. He said that... |

I just graduated with my bachelor's degree a few years ago and I want to be on a research team as I love math and I have an interest in research. Howeve... |

As for your relationship with your mom, I know where you are coming from because my parents would always cut me down, bully me, and make fun of me. I... |

| On a few occasions, I have been known to talk about things that seem like they are, "Off-topic" to others or miss the mark. Because of that, other people tend to get annoyed with me. |

One speaker said that people aren't interested in lots of little details, they are more interested in what they share in common with someone. A second speaker said there are three A's to c... |

| Here are some signs 1. If a person has closed body language, it means they don't want to be bothered. This can also be true if they look down at their phones. 2. If a person points their toes toward a person and looks at them, it means they are interested, they will also have open body language. -.I... |

During my time there, I ended up reporting one of the job coaches who was very unprofessional, irresponsible, and, a bit of a bully. When she finally got in trouble, the CEO, the CFO, and a few other co-workers ganged u... |
