That's great to hear! If your son isn't worrying about it, then he's set. I see. There have been cases, albeit rare, of PWS getting pulled over &/or being mistaken to being on drugs. I have a st...

I'd advise against taking it to higher authority. You'll ended up retroactively embarrassed. This is something you're going to have to deal with forever. Best to handle internally. This is just my exp...

Be nothing but factual and blunt. No swearing. Nothing like that. Be the undeniable good guy. Be extremely professional. You can give them no wiggle room here....

Honestly, the biggest part wasn't on me, but was rather making sure that the groups I was a part of knew what was going on and how to handle it (i.e., they didn't have to do anything or feel bad, it j...

Record. It's not illegal for 1:1 conversations in North America directed specifically to you. The only time HR works in your favour is when you present a liability to their credibility or profits. If ...

A lot of time I insisted to be included in presentations. It's not my fault I stutter, so buckle up and listen to me because I prepared this interesting shit....

I used to go up to the teachers after class and ask why they cut my stutter off and would they do that to someone with a physical disability. Shame the hell out of them, it works. Also they get scared...

It's terribly difficult to control other people's actions. It's not really something to strive for, to be honest. All we can do is focus on what we want to say, and carry it out as reasonably as we ca...
