| In Ireland we have Aware a charity that is specifically targeted towards helping people with depression, they have a helpline and group meetings. Would there be anything like that where you are? |

| Gender issues aside, you could get him a doll and try redirect the stimming onto that. |

Buddha said it better than I could:
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. |

| After reading The Happiness Hypothesis I've been doing some meditation and some Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (which I bought a book on, I don't think I could afford to see a therapist). They're both difficult in their own ways (I tried to focus on my breathing today and just kept gagging), but they h... |

I can relate to it too. But once my boyfriend said Christopher in The Curious Incident reminded him of me, I think I might be perceived as weirder than I think I am. |

| They're probably studying milder cases on the spectrum, but at that level should it be considered a handicap? In some cultures this would be a disadvantage to the person diagnosed depending on the attitude there. Do we all have to be the life and soul of the party anyway? I spent so long hating that... |

Yuck! Rats! We only had a rat in the house once when I was a kid, I thought it was cute. The poor thing looked really scared.
Overall I love Dublin. I don't think I could live far from it, but I don't like it late on a Friday or Saturday night. Everyone goes a bit mental. Have a great holiday! |

| We moved in over six months ago now. We live in a high rise apartment block. It's a beautiful apartment, but I don't like having all these people around me. It's really noisy and I never feel like I'm properly alone. I feel trapped. We're going to move at the end of the lease which I'm also dreading... |

Allennnorde's gonna start a cult. 
I'm useless at making friends and useless at keeping them. I never know what's expected of me and it all just takes up too much of my headspace. |

| I've had somewhat similar problems for the past 3 months or more now, I eventually found out about adjustment disorder after a bit of online research. It seems to fit. Talking is one of the therapies suggested for it. I also found out about the enteric nervous system , it's like a second brain in yo... |
