Glad to hear that they appoligised and the frogs have turned out okay. Not an animal but I had a rare plant order come to me not too long ago. It came and I wasnt expecting it due to what had been previously arranged. So it sat outside in a heatwave for a couple of days without me knowing it had been delivered as it wasnt supposed to come and then I found it outside half dead. It ended up completely dying, I ended up not paying for it. I have Aspergers too so really hate it when I get screwed around by a company like that. The company previously delayed my order by a month as they were on holiday but didnt bother putting that anywhere where people ordering things could see it till the order was finalised and completed and then the message came up.


Had this been an animal and not just a rare plant, I would of been furious.

I also have learned to speak to people, and not hidding for them. In my job as a teacher I have to talk a lot, and believe me, I'm a great talker! As an Asperger you can learn how to use your Asperger as a force, kind of like a weapon or power. It took me some years, but it was worth it.
I have Aspergers and hate talking on phone time (I dont even like much even talking to my friends on a phone). Ive always thou forced myself to talk on a phone when I need to do so but unfortunately in my case (Im in my 40s).. I still are no more comfortable talking on a phone then I was when I was a teen. I still feel sick and get anxiousty whenever I need to talk to someone I do not know extremely well on a phone and still often uncomfortable talking with friends on a phone too. I really wish it did get easier but for myself, that hasnt been the case at all.
