| Hey everyone! I am an undergraduate honors Psychology student with big plans to get my PhD in Clinical Psychology; I want to change the language we use to talk about autism in science so that we can be more inclusive, sensitive, and respectful! As far as a fact about my autism, this is kind of an un... |

| We spoke for a couple hours tonight, turns out that he had a lot of unrelated things on his mind and the aforementioned situation was just "the straw that broke the camel's back" so to speak. Thanks everyone for your input. I have confidence we can move on from this and be better than we e... |

| The kicker is that he has used the same medicine in the past and has been happy to buy me related items, so considering those two things I wrongly assumed that asking for the medicine itself would be a non-issue. But the thing is he never said "no", he only said that he "wasn't sure ... |

| It is legal where I live but not where he does, but we have used this medicine together both in legal and nonlegal areas before and he just used it at his house a few weeks ago, which is a big part of the reason why I thought asking would be okay. Could he come visit you at your house? I mean if he... |

| Is this "medicine" legal? Because if you're talking about what I think you may be talking about, you may have come across as using him to acquire drugs that could potentially get HIM into serious trouble. And one NO from him is all that should be needed. And (if this is indeed the case) y... |

| Maybe but still he is responsible for signalling his boundaries before they get crossed - especially in such an unobvious case. I agree... mistakes in communication happen though, and I don’t think it’s worth my energy to hold it against him. This is just a difficult situation because I feel like I... |

| I completely don't understand why asking for some medicine you need was considered pushing boundaries. When my husband's asthma medicine was running low and we were away from home, a whole bunch of freshly met people brainstormed how to get some in case he needed more. I completely don't understand... |

I have been in a long-distance relationship with a NT guy for nearly 3.5 years. We see each other a handful of times a year and have b... |
