For the rest of us on the spectrum, which organization has helped you so much? If you're not going to share, then what's the point of even commenting at all?

There's a number of reasons that I'm not mentioning it. The biggest one, is that it's not relevant to 90% of the folks around, but there are other reasons.

We're known for not playing well with others, but there's always hope, with discipline and work.

Have a great holiday season (if you have one coming up)!
