| I agree that no matter what you say someone will lash out, misunderstand, attack you because of something you say. It is extremely frustrating, but the fact of the matter is you can't please everyone and there are a lot of emotionally immature people out there nowadays that take everything personall... |

| Sorry you're having nightmares, I had them nightly until about 13 years old and randomly here and there since then. My son, who is diagnosed with autism also had nightmares every night and would either wake up or half wake up all throughout the night crying until four years old and he would be so cr... |

| For me, I was too busy at the time dealing with my son's diagnosis to even consider myself. A few months after his traumatic birth my life was turned upside down for a very long time and it wasn't only until a couple years ago that I was able to come out of the fog completely to start really thinkin... |

| When my son was younger I got him one and I ended up using it more than him! Lol I bought it from sensacalm.com. It says they sell internationally, but I know that doesn't always mean everywhere. They're made with poly and are sewn in, never to be removed, washer and dryer safe. For pricing, the abs... |

| Hello, I'm mainly responding because I was you just a few years ago. My son didn't start to point until he was well after three, after trying the picture thing PECS I believe and sign language, which he never got. What I did was start very small, with something he wanted or got on a daily basis, no ... |

| Interrupting a conversation to say 'hi'. Talking to someone who's reading a book. I agree with both of these and it doesn't just appear rude. In most cases it IS rude. I especially dislike it when store clerks interrupt while I am talking to ask if I need help. Or in a restaurant, when the server c... |

| I had to read it a couple times before I understood what you were trying to say and I hope that I got some of it... I completely understand what you are saying about not wanting someone to reply to you condescendingly and how you just try to 'fix' your issues yourself. I've been there my whole life ... |

| From my personal experience (being a quiet person) they never thought I was stupid but were 'unnerved' by the fact that I was quiet. Reason being they had no idea what was going on in my head. Most people tend to talk out how they feel to each other, but I would mainly just sit/stand and listen to t... |

| I have done that all my life! Even with a break in concentration whenever someone would call my name and I'd realize I wasn't sitting in front of the t.v. but had a book in my hand. I'd laugh and shake my head and a few sentences on start 'watching' my book again! I used to get in trouble because I ... |

| Sorry, there's no cross-platform that I know of and probably won't be since a lot of people hate playing any type of multiplayer on the console. The graphics are lowered considerably for co-op, but it's worth it to me. No, I only have an old laptop that can't play any type of games besides browser m... |

| Depression is not sadness. I've been sad, and able to deal with extreme sadness, but still function and feel 'normal'. Depression is like a black hole, the inside thick with fog. It sucks you in and nothing is the same while you're in it. Everything you know is non existent and all you can do is thi... |

Totally obsessed with Ark: Survival Evolved. Wish I had a good computer, playing with my bro on his Xbox One it's extremely laggy, but it's still awesome.  |
