Oh, stop flattering me! ACK!

But I have two close friends. One is a book dealer, and the other is an RPN

at a residential home for adult psychiatric patients. I was talking to her

about it, and she thinks that if I went through her program, I'd be good at

her job. Apparently psychiatric nurses and practical nurses are in high

demand -- nobody wants those jobs. She said that since I already KNOW that

psychiatric illness isn't scary or freaky, and because I'm well acquainted

with psychiatric meds and all that, that it would be easy for me to learn.

I dunno!

It IS an ASD trait, but I think the only proof is anecdotal.
