r small, you would be great in a research job where you don't have to deal with people. You should look for jobs like that. It would give you more confidence. I'm sure there is a career or jobs forum here where people could offer suggestions.

Good luck!
I was a professional musician for forty years playing in jazz and blues bands. So I'm very adept at working with people in close relationships. I'm also a lifelong autodidact and am pretty well educated. Funny that you should think that someone who is well read and knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects would have Asperger syndrome. That doesn't say much for your intellectual capacity.

I always liked to read two or three books on an individual because I want to read both sides and then I make a decision. I suggest you do the same about Trump and stop watching CNN and MSNBC.
I've read the biography of Trump Never Enough by Michael D'Antonio and Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff. So I know as much about Trump as I can stand.

Well, I guess you told me! People with Asperger's are usually intelligent.
You are clearly defensive about not going to college. Why don't you go now since you enjoy learning?

I actually went to college for a couple of years but dropped out to make a living. I didn't need a sheepskin to do what I wanted to do.

A mutual fund couldn't do that.

Anyone who wants to know what really happened with the casinos should read Trump's books. I think it's book two and three since it was over a period of years. Most people are too lazy to read books.

By the way, Trump graduated from Wharton. I kinda think the students had to read books.

So...help me understand here. Being too lazy to read books is bad, but reading too many books is escapism. Got it. Can you possibly recommend a correct number of books, just so we can all be sure to strike the right balance?

You know Fire and Fury was discredited, don't you?

Sure. By Trump's cult followers. And I find it interesting that Steve Bannon has not disputed anything in the book.

Just like Trump the cult followers contradict themselves with every other sentence.

Hey I did ok there.
