| I live with my parents. I rarely leave the house. Sometimes, I miss company, but I also feel a ton of relief that I don't have to "perform" (as in greet people, thank people, converse with people, remember names and faces, etc.). But I guess it would be nice to have people with whom I didn... |

| I want to change my age, the way that people can change their name or something. When my sister-in-law turned 30, my mom asked her if she felt bad about it or anything. She replied that she was exactly where she wanted to be in life and satisfied. I was then 26, and I already felt like, I want a do-... |

| I'm so deeply angry. I'm so angry that I spent my life trying to be something I didn't know I wasn't. I thought I was crappy at being a person. Turns out I'm not so good at being neurotypical. That whole time--my first 36 years, I was supposed to fit a certain mold. I tried so hard, and there were m... |

| I have a similar problem with my parents. For my whole life, I have had to endure them arguing, being passive aggressive, or saying cruel things to one another. And they argue about nothing! "I was there on Tuesday." "No, it was Wednesday." "It happened on Tuesday and I know... |

| @ Ferris - you make me laugh! I don't think you can really do anything that won't do something to the mind of one neurotic person or another--not when we're all collected around here! I'm glad you said it, and I'm glad I got out what I needed to get out, and thank you for your advice about the Respo... |

| (((mau_tie))) This has been going on for years. It's not you. My own rant: People who are so adept at manipulation that the moderators' only recourse is to post a cryptic rant about it, leaving the rest of us to wonder (a) did we do something wrong? - and (b) if not, who is out to get us? 8O Haha! ... |

| This site will not allow me to post things of a certain length, so I cannot include quotes. It is a response to the comment that said that I am way overreacting. I hope you are trying to make me feel better, but that statement can actually be a very hurtful one, and this is what I was referring to w... |

I'm replying to this with tachycardia, which I've had since last night when I read a post that did... |

| I agree, April. Anxiety is stupid. I hate it. I wish there were no such thing as a sympathetic nervous system. It's obsolete* now that we're not being chased by tigers. (I really, really want to say something nice and comforting, but someone who's ranting doesn't want to hear that, so the above is m... |

I think that I also used to let my anger out on topics in that way--a lot of things that happen in the news and a lot of terrible th... |

| Thanks! My rant wound up coming in five posts, with a sixth for an explanation and apology for everything. I think it must have thought I was a robot, because I'm terrible at those picture things, and I can't imagine that I get them right more than half the time. Amusing that such a thing is on this... |

You have a serious communication disorder. You don't know how to be civil, for starters. Also, you practically plagiarize. You contradict... |

| Part 4 of ? But what really gets to me, which I alluded to earlier, was that this thing was allowed to become a book, that these quotes are not just acceptable among random people but also promoted by the people who are supposed to be supporting autistics. It's inflammatory language... she's a... ha... |

| Part three of ? Back to the first quote (isn't my transition so comforting), my therapist pointing out that she's trying to be Jane Austen stylistically. Since this is a rant, and since I am very angry at her, I will not find anything nice to say, but also, I really don't think there is. Problem rat... |

Please, tell me they have a support group. Except that I taught for a little while, and you find these people everywhere, whi... |
