Is there an autism support group in your area? Or perhaps a support group or self-help group for people with disabilities in general? It might help if you had more social interaction with people who are less likely to judge you. I'm currently looking into autism or disability related support groups myself.

As for people being mean to you, I'm afraid all you can do is either ignore them or try to avoid them :( I wish I had a better solution. I simply avoid social interaction nowadays, but I've found that this is not very healthy and only leads to depression.

Hi Nintendofan! I suggest you write down your problems and needs, and your inability to communicate verbally, and then give this written info to the people you are trying to get help from.

CrazyCatLord is right. You should look into support groups in your area. And, there are no magic ways to make people be nice. You either have to ignore them or avoid them. The exception is if they get violent. You do have the right to protect yourself if someone tries to physically hurt you. Unfortunately, getting physical with someone just because they are nasty, but are not being physical with you, will only get you in trouble.

Do write your info down for the people you need help from, and do look into those support groups.

Perhaps your Mum can try and locate some sort of Community Care Solicitor to force your local services to provide services ?

I was legally assured an aspergers/deaf support worker/personal assistant within ten days by Doncaster Community Adult Learning Disability Teams and Autism teams approx July 2010 just before I was unfairly dismissed from Doncaster Nissan.... A community care solicitor has confirmed what is happening to me is against the law.... then nothing and it's been non stop discrimination and victimisation since. A bloody disgrace what is happening in England towards disabled people. Damn Cameron!! England's financial problems are NOT disabled people's fault !
