    Creativity and Theft

    @bekkilyn, Thanks. I'm pretty sure I am in the wrong job. I think I need a career coach. One who know how to place autistic people. I keep hoping to use my gifts for employers, and find that they do not want them. This is possibly because people with autism have a huge problem finding jobs. Only...

    Creativity and Theft

    @eleos1954, I don't think my creations are worthless. What I stealingly-created on job A, I brought to job B; that from jobs A&B I brought to job C. That from jobs AB&C I brought to job D and so on. Right now when I am able to do good work for an employer, about half of it is from things I...

    Creativity and Theft

    @chirstine40, I'm sorry your husband is going through this. I know exactly what it is like. The company I work for is teeny tiny. It is unlikely that there is another position for me. However I do not know everything. Once I have my diagnosis and once I have compiled my list of ideas, I will...

    Creativity and Theft

    Dave-W, I have learned through hard experience that telling employers of my creativity results in negative consequences. Generally I either get ignored, criticized, or shown the door. I have not told my current employer much. I have just gotten worn out trying. I am currently compiling a list of...

    Creativity and Theft

    I have repented of stealing many times. I am unable to do the job I was hired to do because of my probable autism. Being on the job is part of what inspires me to create, so creating at home is sort of out of the picture. I get to see the needs people have when I am at work. I think that out of...

    When Special Interest is a Major Breakthrough

    Tolworth John, Thanks. I would love to publish a paper on my breakthrough. I have no idea how to even get started. I have never published a paper, I have no one funding my research and I do not work in an academic environment. I need advice on learning how to publish a paper. I have thought to...

    Creativity and Theft

    I can't seem to stop creating. I am a very creative person. Ideas pour out of me like water. And they are not part of my job. I spend a lot of time on my job creating instead of doing the work I've been assigned. I can't stand not creating. And I know this is theft. It is a sin. What do I do...

    Asperger’s in a gay man

    When I was in high school people thought I was gay. I was definitely not gay, but my inability to see flirting behaviors, inability to see when girls were interested in me, inability to establish rapport with people and high anxiety lead to people thinking that I was gay because I was not...

    When Special Interest is a Major Breakthrough

    I have a special interest that has lead to a major breakthrough in my field. What do I do now? I seem to have executive function disorder, so pursuing it becomes a problem, difficulty having rapport with people so finding a place where people will accept it is a problem, and lots of anxiety. I...

    A call to gamers who want to evangelize

    This is not true for tabletop role playing games. In tabletop role playing games, you are face to face. You spend a lot of time together. The game can include Biblical principles. You are talking with each other. having fun together can lead to deeper relationships. People with autism may be...

    Late Bloomer

    Do any of you feel that you are past 50 and it has taken this long to discover what you should be doing with your life? I feel like a 20-something, just starting out. If this has been your experience, please share it. My experience is: I'm 57 and I think I just discovered my career. God has...

    How do Seventh-Day Adventists get any converts?

    Adventists seem to pay more attention to the Bible than many other denominations. They pay attention to prophecy. That's about a third of the Bible. They pay attention to all 10 commandments. That is at least one more than most other denominations. The Bible is powerful and sharper than any two...

    My Aspergers Syndrome is a good thing

    Every person with ASD is unique. Each of us as a unique constellation of strengths and weaknesses. I liked your statement "Point is there are benefits to learning more about yourself and from that learning knowing and LOVING God, His son, and the Holy Ghost that resides in us all." Continuing...

    The problem with realistic RPGs...

    What is it about a game that God might like or honor? I have been thinking about this for some time. God loves truth. The more realistic the game is the more true it is. There are other kinds of realism (truth) that can be included in games that do not rely on lots of characters being killed...

    New Christian RPG game

    Endium, the game sounds really interesting. Did you decide to build the game? If so, how is the game going? Did you decide on David's might men or some other story? Is it ready for playtest? If so, do you have a link so I can try it out? thanks.

    Autism and evangelism

    I really want to do a lot of evangelism. What would work for me would be to have a partner to do evangelism as a pair, perhaps neurotypical perhaps not. One problem I find is that all the advice I have heard on evangelism is geared toward telling NT's how to evangelize to other NT's. I would be...

    Need input from fellow Aspies - What allowed you to believe in Christ?

    A combination of factors allowed me to believe in Christ: 1) One of my special interests was history. I created a model of how history works that works very well and is probably good enough to publish. I did this before I was a Christian. When I was running the numbers and following out the...
