Did you ever have a time in your childhood that was really meaningful to you, like maybe beoing bullied by someone and that one kid stood up for you, or your first kiss.

My Most memorable moment happened to me in 6th grade See at lunch i decided that i was sick of all the bullywng in the past yrs, and i decided if i try not to bother anyone i wouldnt get bothered. so i would sit at the very last seat at the empty end of our table away from all the other boys so no one would be angry at me. One day a kid looked all the way across the table and saw me, and asked me to come join him and his friends. At first i asked him if he meant me, since thats something you never expect to happen. when he said yes i sat down with everyone else and for the first time in my life i was talking and laughing away with everyone else, The best moment of my life! And i have had so much more confidence and have made more friends all because of what he did for me. Thank you Walter Haines for the awesome thing you did, i know were not really friends but thanks anyways for what you did

Hey man, I know what you mean.
but I was 14-15 and it was at my church (the youth were having a BBQ) and I got my food (we were eating outside) and I just found a spot by the a tree.. (Even tho I grew up with all the kids my age, I still felt like a outcast) so I went and sat by myself, soon afterwards Hunter came and sat down by me, he asked how I was doing and why I was sitting here by myself.. people came to sit down with us, cuz a lot of people like Hunter

Now, the friendship didn't started there, didn't really start till like.. a year ago when we were 17-18, (I'm 18 now).. his leaving in Aug to go to college, all of my few friends are leaving in Aug, I'll be alone again etc, me and Hunter was texting 2 nights ago, I told him I'm going to miss him, he said he'll miss me and he said "I love you Mike, your an amazing example to me more then you will ever know" sigh, I don't want him to leave or any of my friends

You mean being bullied by a kid, and having one of his friends stick up for me?? Yeah that happened!! Still keep in touch with that person.

Nothing that I can think of. Almost everyone hates me or doesn't talk to me. Except one girl. My "possible" friend Sage.

One of my best moments was when I got really close to a girl, and a popluar one to boot. It was in the 8th grade. She moved a year later. but it was fun while it lasted.

The most meaningful time in my childhood was between the ages of 12 and 14 (not that 14 is considered childhood, but that's when the meaningful time ended). I was best friends with a girl who shared my special interests and was just as obsessed with them as I was, even though she was NT. What made it really special is that she was the first and only girl I'd ever had a sleepover with, and we would tell each other stories all night long and draw pictures of each other. I know it all sounds so simple, but the impact it had on me was tremendous.

It ended rather tragically when I was 14. She wanted to be one of the popular girls and started being interested in boys, while I wanted everything to stay the same. It really complicated matters when I told her I was in love with her and she didn't feel the same. To make a long story short, we had an argument, split up for a year, briefly became friends again, had an even worse argument, and she never spoke to me again (outside of the occasional mean comment to impress her popular friends). I have occasionally called her house and tried to contact her on Myspace and Facebook, but she never responds to me. Eventually I stopped trying to contact her because I was worried she would start accusing me of stalking her. I still have dreams about her practically every other night though.

I tended to stay away from most people, because I wasn't like any of the other students. I was disorganised (still disorganized today, just somehow manage to come out with A's :roll:), quirky (still am), and awkward (not so much now, I think I might have outgrown that one). There were three people who practically glued themselves to me, and I remember all three of them to this day. I wish I could say thank you to all of them for supporting me.

I was pretty isolated when I went away to boarding school, I don't think I made more than one friend in my first month there, in retrospect it was an environment I had little chance of handling well at the time; but there was one kid who was one of the more popular NTs at school who reached out to me and brought me at least to the periphery of the group of boys in our class, I don't think I could have made it through without his support and he eventually got to know the quirks that make me the guy that I am and we are still friends to this day... just goes to show that there are good people out there who realize we are all just people.

Yes. My near failure in both the 7th and 9th grades. I've learned from my mistakes. I'm glad I almost failed. Failure is always an option; it is an opportunity to make improvements. I would be a totally different person today if those years had ended up differently, and definitely not for the better.

When my friend's father asked her if I have Autism (before my diagnosis). When she told me that he'd asked, I finally realised that my problems were real and I wasn't just being paranoid. After that, she and a couple of my other friends helped support me so I could get the confidence to tell my mother I wanted to be assessed to see if I had Autism. I didn't realise anyone noticed or cared about my problems until then.
