I can relate to what you are saying, my real identity is something that I don’t think anybody sees. The identity that people do see is carefully constructed, not to fit in but as a means of protection. My real identity is defined by my obsessions, if it wasn’t for them I do not think that I would ha... |

Social isolation – It would not be so bad if I didn’t want friends or anything, friends are just another thing that I want but cannot have. Lack of independence – I hate having to rely on other people for anything, but having to rely on my family for things that to them is no big deal, things that a... |

Megz, that sounds like a interesting idea.
Just out of curiosity, where exactly in Texas are you from?

I don't want to share too many details yet (I don't want to jinx it or anything) but I have a lead on a foundation that could potentially help with the funding. |

I had an idea about a kind of supported living situation for people on the spectrum; this idea came partly from some things I’ve read here on WP and partly from the experiences of me and my brother. I’m working on a plan to make my idea a reality, but before I did that I wanted to hear what other pe... |

Primary school - some acquaintances, 1 person who I thought was my friend but was not and no real friends. High School - 7, only 1 of those I spent time with outside of school and still talk to now. If teachers count then 11. College - again some aquaintances but no-one I would consider a friend. An... |
