| My psychologist told me, cause my social anxiety is that I don't understand social situations and probably I have Aspergers. Such an explanation makes sense. I am waiting on an ASD assessment if they confirm it or not. |

It's not about age. If you yell at them in their home, what else do they have to do with you?
Since I moved from my parents they don't yell at me and they don't commands me. |
