| You would bet? So really, you're just mouthing off? Because my "implication" was that if this girl doesn't get told that she's neurologically different than the general population then the chances are she'll live a life being abused and manipulated by that population. One way or another. S... |

| If somebody - in private and with my interests considered - could have told me that my "wiring might be unusual" and that there might be alternative solutions to life problems by taking that wiring into account then I'd like to think I'd have been interested to learn about it. I was hated ... |

| Something that seems like a simple request to you might involve a complicated and stressful process for someone else. In former times, among those around me, it was known that I have some degree of technical competence. As a result of this I was often asked to perform "simple" IT tasks for... |

| It's difficult to describe emotions without incurring ambiguity. Also, the experience of low self-worth in one person could be very different - or expressed very differently - for someone else. For example... One individual with low self-worth might decide to forgo a relationship because they don't ... |

| How about changing "Self worth" to "belief in oneself"? Hypothetical : If you don't "believe in yourself" then you might do stupid things to ingratiate yourself with someone you do value/believe in. It works the same... I have so little "self worth" that I did... |

| Since last year many times he tries to play stupid. He will say I don’t know how to do brushing, walking, basic stuff etc. He thinks whatever he learnt so far that was not the right way to learn, so one day in life he will learn how to do the brush in a prefect way. Is your son a horse? ... Sorry, ... |

| Try and stay near to someone you feel safe to be with. If you're with someone you know and trust and you feel the need to stim or you get stressed out then maybe quietly tell them you need a moment alone to "ease down". Hopefully, they'll unobtrusively help you get out of the situation for... |

Get a white T-Shirt and a marker pen
Write: "Pigs are people too" on the shirt.
Wear shirt to party.
Offend everyone to the point that they at least won't speak to you or even better tell you to f**k off home and never come back.
Profit. |
