Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 hello D, Does the US military have a policy against aspies ? The Australian military is different in: Dont ask, Dont Tell, with us is it doesn't matter & we dont have any policy against aspies, it is measured on a case by case basis. What is your son doing now ?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi D, My parents refuse to acknowledge that there might be something different about me. As for the determination of Aspie Dom, it was done by myself and my very understanding partner. Why Verizon, is he an TI Geek, I am ?

I like to be touched by the right people, not just anyone. I definitely hate 'bear-hugs', ugh! >> Sorry IT Geek, PEBCAK (Problem exists between chair and keyboard) >> Error ;-) And what's " IT " stand for? D.
