| I attend a social group for people with autism/other disabilities. It's fun, though I don't really feel like I fit in with the other kids. Me neither, one of my friends that I met there has the same problem except much worse; she always tries to cling to me and not allow me to mingle with other peo... |

| I'm actually going to a meeting today. I really like going there; I've met some of my closest friends there, more friends than I've ever had in my school life even (currently a sophomore in high school BTW). One thing I do find odd is how over half of the people who attend are all adults, miraculous... |

Been a fan since birth, homes.  I like more underground/indie stuff though like Childish Gambino, Cormega, Sean Price, etc. than mainstream though. |

| That's very interesting how multiracial Aspies made up the second largest percentage since I myself am one and I don't know any mixed race Aspies in real life. Plus all of my autistic friends are either white or Hispanic. As far as only studying children that is pretty bogus. |

| the largest percentages of races in my genes are Mexican, Irish, and German. My mom never taught me Spanish growing up, because she didn't think I'd really need it. my German and Irish genes are dominant so I always got called 'White Boy' and people always thought I lied about being part Mexican. I... |

| In my Aspergers social group, only two of my friends are 16-19 years old, which is within my age group. Everyone else is between 21-26 years old, which can be awkward knowing that I am a teenager who finds a lot of common interests with grown ass men lol. |

| Facebook is extremely idiotic to me, I do not see the point in having one; it's especially frustrating when family members keep asking me if I have one, to me it's like asking if I own a yacht. What doesn't help is the fact that a few years back someone reportedly made a fake account with my name an... |

It is truly remarkable how much I could relate to this song. Eminem is the greatest.  |
