| For an autistic person, does it help to be inside crowds (or groups), have intimate relationships with people, or worsens the condition? I dont like being around people much, and i dont get along with many of them. I just get along with smart people which is very rare. I feel irritated among too man... |

But i have this since childhood, sometimes it gets better or worse. Medications help me when i use them (stops over thinking and relieves me) but i d... |

| I started taking paroxetine 2 weeks ago. It took away all of my emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, worry). I dont feel anything and it's not really what I wanted. I just want to be like any other human being. |

I was very smart but not good with people. I was also diagnosed with mental problems like adhd and anxiety. So i got into depression and d... |

| Its not about what you know...Its about who you know. Sadly that puts most of us Aspies at a massive disadvantage. However there has been a boom in remote work and online businesses that could make finding a job and starting a business much easier for you. You could start a online business or a go ... |

| What has been getting me interviews was creating projects at my place of work, even if I got scolded for it, but I still put it on my resume and still got a few calls. If I try hard maybe I can get interviews, but landing a job at this time wouldn't make me any happier. Because i started early but ... |

Yes, i haven't been taking meds for 2 years. I dont like being dependant on them, but apparently i might start using again. Because every day I wake up hopeless and unhappy. |

| 10-15 years ago, I wish i did not numb my mind with video games, psychiatric meds (in the name of treatment), and i wish i faced my problems on the spot, without escaping them. I was very young (12-16 years old) when all these happened. That means i had barely any experience in life. So i made a lot... |

| I just want to feel what others feel like, laughing, smiling, crying, having fun, but all I can do is thinking about whats wrong with me 24/7. It's very hard to move on in life without dumbing myself down. |
