| I'm genuinely really worried that you may get into trouble with the authorities. He asked you not to contact him and blocked you on Facebook. He's been really clear that he doesn't want you to contact him. You barely know him. I'm so sorry but please don't do anything you may regret. |

| Futuresoldier1944 this may be hard to hear but I really really don't think that you should contact your friend again unless they contact you first. It sounds like he's been really clear that he doesn't want you to. I'm sorry x |

Yes I did but tbh they told me not to bother trying to get a diagnosis because there was no way that I had autism. I think I need to accept the reality of the situation and move on.
I suppose it's better to have no friends or family than bad ones ❤ |

| Arielhawksquill what you are saying is fascinating. This topic and everyone's replies have really opened my eyes. I guess I need to grow up and stop being so naive ☺ |

| ? In my head life works like this: I try to be fair to you and I want you to try to be fair to me. I ultimately want to be friends with everyone and I assume other people want the same thing. We are all working towards mutually beneficial goals surely? I don't want to win if it means someone else lo... |

| Since my diagnosis my few friends and family don't want to associate with me at all or as much (and we rarely saw each other anyway) Some of these people are awful so I understand why they are behaving this way. Some of these people are lovely and are known in the community as social reformers and w... |

| I hear you alk123! I have had/have issues wit h all of those things too. I often say to my Husband 'If I was a 'normal' person I would have a great social life' and then I list the things I would do with my friends. His response is always the same 'But you're not a 'normal' person. In reality when I... |

| I feel drained when I spend time around others too. Socially the maximum time for me is one hour. Any time spent after that begins to impact on my physical/mental health. I do wonder where my life is headed though. Will the few social skills that I fought so hard to learn be forgotten? I worry that ... |

| I'm reading all of these responses and laughing AND crying! I have done pretty much every one of these! Isn't navigating the social world of NT's crazy!? They ask questions that they don't want honest responses to and say meaningless sentences such as 'I'm always there for you', well no actually I r... |

| I have people I know but I wouldn't call them friends. I have a small amount of family but I wouldn't say I was particularly close to them. I am married and I am very close to my Husband. I'm unemployed at the moment and go to college one day a week where I rarely speak to anyone. Sometimes days go ... |
