I've suspected that I may be autistic since I was very young, around 10 or 11, but my parents did not support the idea of me seeing a psychologist for fear of it harming my chances of gettin... |

| My parents, and basically every single teacher I've ever had, had said that they're 100% sure I have Autism. But my parents won't me get get a diagnosis. I feel like I'd get a lot more support (I have none at the moment) if I had a diagnosis and I feel like it would be good if we had an explanation ... |

| In no particular order I hate; snoring, loud or sloppy chewing, burping, and other unpleasant noises. Also dislike being poked or jabbed, my partner throwing themselves at me for a hug or other physical contact, people resting their head on my shoulder (so uncomfortable!), being nagged, obnoxious pe... |

| Today's my birthday, and it's been the worst birthday in memory. I shouldn't be surprised - I'm more socially isolated now than I can ever remember being. I wasn't popular growing up, but I always had my groups of friends. In college I got pretty social, and when I was in the Peace Corps I instantly... |

| When someone randomly compliments me, I'm not sure if just should thank them or compliment them back. Either way, it ends up really awkward... if you compliment them back, it's like you did not mean it. but you were just returning the favor. lip service transaction. likewise, unless someone does it ... |
