| Long post; if it's in the wrong forum then feel free to move. _________________________________________________ I wondered if anyone has ever received help for their living situation because of the influence it can have on your mental health, and a way to go about it tactfully? (I’m in the UK). I li... |

| I'm just afraid that she'll turn the whole RP community against me and then I'll never get to be able to enjoy my hobby since she has a quite a bit of influence there, like I said she's the Queen Bee type. I've dealt with her type before and it wasn't pretty, if these girls don't like you they can ... |

| It sounds like she was being polite at the beginning and was probably worried about offending you if she said anything. But then talking about you behind your back is pretty offensive - so, 'normal' logic, I guess :roll: I think you should listen to your friend's advice and not disclose your autism ... |

| Wow, what a great example to set for the kids! <sarcasm> I would let the manager know how this woman is acting, as from what you wrote it sounds like she’s the ringleader. Then hopefully she’ll backoff and grow up :hugs: |

| To be fair, if he doesn’t even speak about it with his mother or sister, then chances are he won’t to you. He should at least let you all know a day or so beforehand, that he won’t ‘be available’ during that time. It’s a tragedy what happened, and he must grieve in his own way, but if he just ups an... |

| In my case, anxiety stemmed from a need to be accepted ; a basic human need that served me well enough through first & secondary school (masking-wise; going along with groupthink) but failed miserably in high school. I think the challenges that come with autism can be a contributing factor - the... |

| It sounds a little like ’catastrophizing’ i.e. getting worried and anxious about the possible negative outcomes of a future scenario. It sounds like you had a really good relationship with your teacher though, and are worried about how you might come across to her now - is something like a video cha... |

| I would probably make some excuse about being late for an appointment - no need to stop and chat about anything with past peers; there's a reason they are in 'the past'. You don't owe someone you knew years ago anything. If it worries you that much maybe plan a script so you don't feel so on the spo... |

Well, you're not a mind reader. If he refuses to explain how he's feeling in a straight-forward manner then how can you be expected to console him? Like the other posters said, you can't just switch off aspergers.  |

| I watched the first season and stopped there; however, I do have a habit of getting into the big shows years after they’ve finished and all the hype is died down, so I might try it again in the future. Going from what I remember, it’s basically tits and dragons. |

A cat! Sleep all day... go out all night... and get fed and pampered by a silly human who thinks I actually love them 
In all seriousness though, I wanted to be an artist. |

| I used to feel 'less than' in most cases, and like I shouldn't be here, there, anywhere. However I have managed to get to the point of not caring so much about what other people think - I try to maintain the attitude of if they don't like it they can lump it. Accepting that I'm not and most probably... |
