I would like to be treated for symptoms, such as depression and anxiety. But I am content with how I think. 
Also, I feel that the most effective form of "treatment" one can give themselves is exposure to uncomfortable situations and to the outside world. |

| I couldn't see how women would take offense to being a starter tho, I don't think I as a guy would. I'd actually be more flattered than anything. I think in the sense of someone taking offense would probably be someone with severe self esteem issues. I could be wrong tho. I am a woman, and I'll try... |

| Yes, from 4th to 8th grade. 4th and 5th were heavenly, 6th was okay, 7th and *th were living heck. I dropped out of middleschool during the 3rd quarter of 8th grade due to bullying, a horrible case manager, and other things going on at the time. That's around the same time I got diagnosed with AS.

| I have, many times. It's never bothered me too much, though. The only times I can remember it really hurting was when it was my brother or father calling me it. Other people who have called me it were just horrible people that I hated anyway so I wasn't that bothered about it. Same here, but people... |
