What should I do if I think I might have aspergers?

Question by Ender: What should I do if I think I might have aspergers?
To start, I’m a 15 year old boy. And no, I’m not asking if I should get myself diagnosed or not. I’ve read a bundle of articles about it, and I match almost every characteristic. Even if I DON’T have it, well, I still share the characteristics, and I need help. Well, first of all, I notice I have awkward movements and postures. I can’t really help it. And when it comes to social situations, its like my body just shuts down when I begin talking to a stranger. I’ve already planned what I’ve had to say and how I want to say it, but still, when the time comes, it just doesn’t come out right. I start to shake, studder, speak too fast, too slow, and just feel totally uncomfortable. How can I overcome this?

And it’s not just with strangers. It even happens with my close friends sometimes! They’ll ask me a question, and they’ll will truly be interested in my response, but sometimes, I just can’t help it and just give a half-assed response that makes no sense and just say “I don’t know” to their follow up questions. And I really want to tell them the true answer, but it just doesn’t come out right. And when someone tells ME something? All I do is just pay attention to my body language and what my responses are rather than even listen to what they’re saying. I’m too nervous to even notice what they’re saying! And I’ll just end up saying “cool, nice, cool, yeah” very unnaturally :(

So what I’m asking you is if there is anything I can do. Is there any medications that will, like, calm my nerves when talking to someone? Any practices I should try? Because when I’m in school, I’ll just end up sitting in my seat while everyone else is chatting. I’ll really want to say something but can’t. Or someone will talk to me and I’ll get so nervous I’ll forget everything I originally wanted to say. I’m worried because in the near future, what if I want to get a job? I’ll be so nervous at the interview! And helping people at a cash register or something? How will I ever do that? And even beyond, if I can’t even talk to my friends, how could I possibly talk to a girl to get a girlfriend?

PS: I can communicate via text perfect fine. If I was asking this question to all of you in real life it wouldn’t make sense.
Oh yeah, and 2 more things that might or might not be relevant: Say I want to go jogging. I’ll start, but I’ll just feel so awkward running on the sidewalk in public I just can’t do it. And if I’m on the computer, if someone looks over my shoulder while I’m typing something or watching a video I’ll just instantly freeze and get nervous.

Was Obama not speaking the truth?

Question by Darin D: Was Obama not speaking the truth?
Put your beliefs about the man aside. I want to know honestly, if there is anything in these statemnts that is not true, from a Hillary supporter.

Obama began by recalling a moment in Tuesday night’s debate when he and his rivals were asked to name their biggest weakness. Obama answered first, saying he has a messy desk and needs help managing paperwork — something his opponents have since used to suggest he’s not up to managing the country. John Edwards said his biggest weakness is that he has a powerful response to seeing pain in others, and Clinton said she gets impatient to bring change to America.

“Because I’m an ordinary person, I thought that they meant, ‘What’s your biggest weakness?’” Obama said to laughter from a packed house at Rancho High School. “If I had gone last I would have known what the game was. And then I could have said, `Well, ya know, I like to help old ladies across the street. Sometimes they don’t want to be helped. It’s terrible.’”

“Folks, they don’t tell you what they mean!” he said. Obama chuckled at his own joke before riffing on another Clinton answer in the debate, when she said that she is happy that the bankruptcy bill she voted for in 2001 never became law.

“She says, ‘I voted for it but I was glad to see that it didn’t pass.’ What does that mean?” he asked, again drawing laughter from the crowd and himself. “No seriously, what does that mean? If you didn’t want to see it passed, then you can vote against it! People don’t say what they mean.

“You know what I’m saying is true,” he said, then addressed his routine directly at audience members who don’t know who they will vote for yet. “Undecideds, remember now, remember what I’m saying.”

He continued by responding to a new Clinton radio ad that accused him of having financial ties to supporters of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste site that most Nevadans are loath to come to their state.

“I have said over and over again I’m against Yucca,” Obama said. “I’m against Yucca Mountain. I think the science is not there. I’ve never, I’ve never been for Yucca. Never been for it. Never said I was for it.

“Suddenly you’ve got the Clinton camp out there saying, `He’s for Yucca.’ What part of I’m not for Yucca do you not understand?” he said, then laughed along with his audience.

As the laughter subsided, Obama drove home the broader point he’s been trying to make against Clinton the entire campaign.

“Those kinds of tricks, that kind of approach to politics is what has to stop because what happens is then nobody believes anything,” Obama said. “The voters don’t believe what politicians say. They get cynical. Folks in Congress, they’ll tell you they’re looking out for you — they’re looking out for somebody else. We have to change that politics and that’s why I’m running for president.”
If it’s not true, what’s not true about it?
“While he was giving that speech there was an ad running saying that the Clintons tried to stop people from voting in Nevada. That is a lie. He’s no better than what he is condemning.”

He didn’t run that ad. Research before you speak.
And the Clintons did try to stop people from voting obviously.
The “5 times the vote argument” That situation happening is slim to none, and it’s in effect in all caucus states, because some places have different populations. Do you know what would have to happen for their votes to actually be 5 times more important? I doubt it, you’re too busy listening to Bill.
Hillary endorsed the decision to fight it in court only two days after the culinary union endorsed obama. She was for the caucus locations last year, why is she against them now?

Answer by Ring0Rosie
I sure hope you don’t plan on being a comedian…

It seems like you are trying to make this woman seem stupid and these jokes come off really sexist. Women can work and do a good job- they are not all airheads like the one in your jokes. Presenting women like this is really sexist.

problems with my boyfriends mother, how to handle?

Question by Krissy P: problems with my boyfriends mother, how to handle?
i had planned a trip to go have an interview that was 800 miles away from home. my best friend, his girlfriend, and my boyfriend all needed jobs and/or a better job, so they decided to join me. we had planned this weekend roadtrip seriously for over a month, but had started planning way before that.
my boyfriend is still in high school (graduating this year) and a month away from turning eighteen. so we were concious to take his mothers concerns into or planning. she had previously agreed (a week before the trip) to let him skip school on friday, so we could use that day to drive down.
on thursday, about eight oclock my friend calls me saying he got a facebook message from my boyfriend saying that his mother didnt know ANYTHING about this trip, and he wasnt going anymore. we gathered, talked it out, and he went home and his mother was fine with the decision we made, to just see how everything goes, and then she could decide if she would allow him to take the job or not.
friday morning she calls my mother (who was joining us on this weekend trip) at 6 freaking out asking every question under the sun about where were going and why, then his mother agreed to let him go. we left an hour later, and we were 13 miles from the border (2 hours into the trip) his mother calls my cell phone (we were eating and i didnt hear my phone ring) and left a voicemail message saying she wasnt aware he was skipping school (which she was cuz she texted him like five minutes into the trip saying have a good time) and that she would call the police if we crossed the border. she asked us to just leave him on the side of the road and she was already on her way to come get him. so we lost 50 miles and 2 hours driving to meet her and waiting.
im SO MAD!! she KNEW about this trip beforhand, way before! and then she has the nerve to STOP THE TRIP cuz she is having a fit, then telling me she is uncomfortable with my mothers parenting abilities and she would call the cops if we continued (on top of lying to my mother on what she had told my bf).
im afraid she is going to punish him in some way that will have repercussions that will affect me. what should i do?
this isnt the first time she has done something like this, just not this major before.
all the time she will plan WHOLE VACATIONS and not tell him till the morning of.. she even forgot to tell him that he was getting his tonsils out till the morning of.

How long after 2nd interview do you expect to hear back from a potential employer.?

Question by barrie bakar: How long after 2nd interview do you expect to hear back from a potential employer.?
I had my first interview with a potential employer on October 1st. Thought interview went pretty well. Took 2 weeks without hearing anything, called and left the hiring manager 2 voicemails at the start and end of the 3rd week. I was contacted on October 20th to come in for a second interview on October 21st. Second interview was very informal with another employee. He basically did all the talking and explained the job in detail and what I will be doing and confirmed that I will be working with him. He told me that he was to submit a report to the hiring manager and asked me to call him if I ever had any concerns or questions that were job related. Its mid November now and I have still not heard anything back after the second interview. I called the hiring manager twice this week but have not received a call back or an email. Friends tell me to stay put and that I will receive an email or call if the position has been filled. my question is does it take this long to hear back after an interview? As a recent graduate I am not too familiar with all the intricacies of the hiring process. Please advice.

Best answer:

Answer by Samii Revlon
It really depends on when he wanted you to start, do you have any idea? If the start date wasnt for a while, its not unusual to not have heard anything, as they would contact you about a week or 2 before you were due to start. If I were you I would call again if Ive not heard anything in another week or perhaps send a email and continue this. You dont always hear back if the position has been filled by someone else, which is a pain really as its not really fair to leave you guessing when you could be taking up other jobs. Keep applying for new jobs just in case

Why are my parents such idiots who understand nothing and dont even give me a chance?

Question by Paul N: Why are my parents such idiots who understand nothing and dont even give me a chance?
Ok, im here to bitch about my parents and thier lack of intelligence. And this is also a challenge to all you smart ass parents who love to shoot kids down on this kind of stuff by telling us your always right. Ok heres my dilemma. Im 18, i live in the UK. I don’t drive, and i dont have many qualitifcations. Im looking for a job. My last job was working for my dad, as a dry liner in the building trade. This for for about a year but then as self employed work sometimes goes, he had no more work for me. I was qualified enough to go and work for another company, so this left me on the job hunt again. Now, its septempter, and i finished working for my dad at the end of june. So ive been out of work for 2 months. Every single day i look on the internet, in the newspapers, on teletext, the whole freaking works to try and find a job. the trouble is its hard to find work when you dont drive and have to rely on public transport. It has come to the point where i am willing to take any job no matter what, as long as i can get there and back safely, and theres enough hours in it. However, finding this seems to be an impossible task at the moment, but like i said im looking every day, and when im out and about i ask in shops and stuff too. I do have previous retail experience and some other stuff too so i dont have to worry about that. But my problem is, EVERY SINGLE DAY when my parents come home they shout thier heads off at me, telling me how im so lazy and just cant be bothered to work. Its like they think i enjoy being broke and having debts i cant pay? I have a credit card which has about £600 to pay, results of my holiday at the start of july. Obviously i was unaware i was going to be jobless. So anyway, although i paid for payment protection against unemployment on my credit card, the bank have had the check to refuse my claim for unemployment, leaving me to deal with this debt on my own. Tossers. Anyway, my parents KNOW that i spend most my time looking for a job ive told them so many times, they even SEE me doing it on the computer or reading the paper. And now they keep suggesting stupid jobs that they see in the paper, ones that you need major qualifications for and they know i dont have, and when i say i cant do that i havent got the right qualifications, all they do is yell at me again and say i just cant be bothered. Well, im sick of this shit now. I try my fucking hardest and all i get is yelled at. And heres the best one, my dad has now told me that if i dont have a job within the next week, he is going to kick me out. And he will. Hes done it before over the years, he kicked me out when i was 14 because i was 10 minutes late home. I had to live on the streets for 2 weeks before my friends parents took me in for about 6 months and finally helped convince my parents to let me come back. Anyway. Im just so sick of being treated unfairly, its fucking bullshit. Especially seeing as the reason i lost my last job was because he “couldnt” find any more work for me. Fucking tosser, funny how he kept everyone else going. And now he is constantly shouting at me for something he is partially responsible for. I just dont know what to do anymore. They keep telling me i owe them money for rent too, which i do, but they know i dont have a fucking job. and…ARRRRG im just so sick of this shit. Please, someone, adopt me. I defy anybody out there to say that my parents are being fair, and if you do then your just an idiot, and would probably be good friends with my parents. Please, help me!!!
