    Snapping fingers

    I have never been able to snap my fingers, ever since I was a kid and we were asked to snap to some songs.

    just realized this is the first time I'm sharing my life story to others+ SURVEY -I NEED YOU OPINION

    The Boss who makes me sick

    This member of management is an utter incompetent. Which was merely annoying until they were moved into my line of command. Now their confusing instructions are directly stressful.

    The anti-résumé: name a weird task or skill your ASD could grant you

    I came across a "pointless data broker" in a post (courtesy of @Full Steam), and that's inspired me to write a crazy résumé (or CV for our non-US based friends), in the vein of things I would write if I were brutally honest about my quirkiest abilities.
