| As a child it was worse. Back then me and my family didn't know I was autistic and sensory stuff would make me angry or give me meltdowns and they didn't understand it and would become very angry at me. I remember backpacks being a HUGE issue, the straps had to be exactly the same length and the wei... |

I was confused. Mobbing means bullying in swedish, so I thought you were swedish and just forgot to translate the word, but then you wrote bullying. So...hm whatever.
Also, I don't understand what you're getting at. I don't get it. |

| In Sweden you can legally have sex from the age of 15, get a drivers linsence when you're 18, vote/ smoke/ drink in bars when you're 18 and buy alcohol in a store when you're 20. I find it VERY strange that America consider people old enough to drive a car in traffic when they are 16 (? But not in a... |

| I used to think the kids who beat me up were my friends and as I got older, teenager, I though the people who used me and never stood up for me or treated me okey, were my friends. But as an adult I know what friendship is like, and I demand to be treated with respect always. What you're describing ... |

| Autism was one of the things that made my life a living hell in every possible way up until now. Now I am 21 and people don't notice my autism. I do, but it gives me very little trouble. It can get much better for you, you know, your autism. It might not, but it def. can. And even if you don't chang... |

| I have read that people generally lie every hour, everyone tell small lies during the day if you are out and being social. Don't worry about it and always remember to not try to call people on their lies unless it's outrageous. It's not a good idea, I've learned. |

| Yes that could very well be it. But maybe he didn't really want her to call him and just said it, to be nice, or to not seem like he was rejecting her even though he wasn't interested. People do stuff like that sometimes, I've seen my friend do that exact thing. The girl asked if they should get tog... |

| I have heard it is autism related... Like yet another sensorything almost? It kind of makes sense. I have also read about it, some sources say that it's not even that unusual. |

| Yeah, I don't feel it. I eat once a day, when my stomach growls. In the afternoon/late afternoon. (Not sure if that growls is the right word but you know what I mean). I used to be on a lot of meds inkluding antidepressants during my teenage years and it gave me a big apatite so I eat a few times a ... |
