| I sort of wish I was normal sometimes. I would maybe be better at school and not be in highschool at 19. I wouldnt have meltdowns or sensory overload. I would be able to have normal conversations and to talk in a way that is normal for my age. I probably wouldnt be picked on. I also might have more ... |

I was made not to flap, talk, make noise, or rock. They put a rubber band around my wrist and would sn... |

| School has never been easy for me. The academic and social parts of it are very stressful. I wasnt ready to socialize when my mom took me to a family centre. She didnt know I was autistic then. I was diagnosed shortly after. I went to a special needs pre school. That was overwhelming to me. My mom s... |

| I would work on the communication skills, I don't know exactly what you need to work on but that's a start. Can you provide an example of what happens when you communicate with people? I don't think the way you dress would be the problem. I have seen people dress in some weird things and still make... |

| It really depends. Sometimes I can feel a meltdown coming for a while and I can avoid it and sometimes a meltdown happens suddenly. My meltdowns can last from 30 minutes- 2 hours. |
