| Autistics are apparently either savants or geniuses or pitiful tragedies. We're not allowed to be everyday people, apparently. This image is definitely the one that my family and friends associates with autism. I remember when I brought up getting a diagnosis to a close friend, he said, "You're too... |

| I've been, but I go with people I know. I have gone alone only once, and the results weren't good. If you go, 2 tips: -Go with people you know. I've been in some situations that necessitated my friends literally pulling me away by the arm. -Do not be overstimulated by loudness/flashing strobes (I kn... |

| Feel free to write as much as you wish. I was actually the same way. It is only in the last 4 years or so that I am wearing clothes that I picked for myself, too (I'm 23). I dress differently now to shield myself (hood up to avoid small talk). Also, I still have never gotten high either. Just about ... |

| Also about your situation, I kinda.. (correct me if i'm off base) know the feeling. Feels like your mind rationally should know that the person wasn't any good for you at all, yet the feeling is still incredibly painful and won't go away. Especially if you're the type (I am) .. where forming what y... |

| I'm not a parent, but I will tell you what I remember thinking of recess back 10+ years ago. I sometimes hated it. Most of my grade school tantrums were triggered during recess, and it's because the kids I interacted with were nasty or unfair. I have a very focused sense of "fair" and if I saw somet... |

| I wear glasses (no prescription) sometimes, and I feel that I am treated differently when I wear them. People seem less shocked when they find out I am such a nerd. I just have them filled in with clear plastic (no colored/shaded lenses). I wear thin framed, black glasses. Those who know I do not ne... |

I do not believe that there's someone for everyone either. There is no perfect fit, just better fitting tha... |

| I actually saw Mastodon a week ago in concert. They are really good live! Also, their music is really complex (changing time signatures, real technical guitar work, concept albums). I have seen them play with Dethklok, too. They're the band from METALOCALYPSE. If you haven't seen it, check it out. I... |

| I was going to reply here but I don't think any relationship advice is 'extraordinarily profound'; its all just opinions and life experience. Who wants to go to the effort of writing a thought out response only for it to be shot down as not being 'life changing' enough...? I respect that at least y... |

| Even seperated and divorced people cling on each other, not sexually but psychologically and emotionally - aren't they still true at heart to each other when it's mutual? I see that separated and divorced couples still often have an attachment, but is it for the right reasons? If one is going to ta... |

He and my mother are trying to work things out. 2) A cousin I was close to shot himself back in March this last year. 3) The fi... |

| I am completely with you! I remember back in February when I brought up that I was looking into getting an Asperger's diagnosis, my few close friends and family tried to talk me out of it. One friend said, "You're too smart to be autistic!" That reveals how much he knows about ASDs. When I got my di... |

I put my headphones in (ear buds), pull my hood over my head and just look straight ahead as I go around campus. I do everything I can to avoid people handing out leaflets, trying to prosely... |
