| Everyone I've told so far had absolutely no response. Apart from my granny who just said "Oh". Thats weird, some of these people have probably responded to every single thing I have said to them in the past but when I tell them I'm mildly autistic they say nothing. I think that is because they do n... |

Bi-lateral Mastectomy w/ reconstruction and chemo Take iron (if possible...I still have to take it daily to feel right), take what ever they give you for sickness, listen to your body. If you don't feel you can do a session you probably can't because of... |

| Here is an idea...I once read in a book you should stand right up to them and say. Are you trying to hurt my feelings, well it is not working or is that the best you can do. Then just walk away...but watch your back. You may need to practice a few time to be able to say it confident and stern enough... |

| Hi, I am old and my son never likes my advice but I was one of those popular bubbly cheerleader types in school so I had lots of experience with this..but that was a long time ago. Yes you did good. She was most likely consumed by fear of flunking the test. Perhaps now ask how she did on the test. I... |

I am no where near the age of person you want to talk with and am such a MOM but...I just have to tell you that I can already tell you are going to be a great adult and a true gift to the world.
You will get things done! Play up your gifts and use them to your advantage. |

| Imagine my surprise when I opened my high school yearbook and my senior pic was not there. I tried to give them one and they said they had it...it was a communication gap. Anyway that was over 30 years ago and know what... I totally forgot about it until you just posted. So..time heals all. It won't... |

| These days everyone knows someone on the spectrum. I wonder if any of your friends will just say, "really so do I" or I thought so. I think by sharing you will be telling them to cut you some slack and to not get mad at you for "things" you may or may not do. Send them a link with info on what it is... |

| I can totally feel for you. With my kids I have gone through the same exact sort of experience as recent as last week. No matter where you started it would not be right. I wonder how many classes they get on how to conduct an initial appointment. Just thinking of all the bad appointments I have had ... |

| So many thoughts to share about your post. You should be very proud of all you have figured out about the world. I would like to share what you are feeling is probably very typical of everyone at all ages and in fact it might be a part of maturity. What else is funny is the behaviors you spoke of mi... |

| I have a lot of different points to make to this question. My kids were on all sorts of antidepressants through the years. There were on Fluvoxamine (Luvox) the longest, with a good run on Zoloft. I think it is very common to need to increase the dose as time goes on. I would say talk to your doc be... |

It is hard to feel empathy when someone you don't know dies and it really does not effect her life except through you.
