| Sadly I can’t. I’m afraid to go to hell. Though I may anyways, since just about everything is a sin. I’m afraid of death as well unless it’s quick, but my life is living hell. I die inside more and more every day. I don’t think everyone struggles at least not as bad and I don’t care about people wi... |

Please don't hurt yourself. 
No one has a flawless life. Every single person struggles with something - autistic or not.
Even though I'm odd and alone, there's still a lot of beauty and wonder in the world to enjoy. |

Water and coffee. (Does anyone else have a hot/cold thing?)
A banana, and plain yogurt with granola, pecans, walnuts, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips.  |

| I'm 51, but undiagnosed. I think it would be exciting to find out. I don't connect with people, and at the moment, I feel quite lonely. Graceling, being on my own for the first time in my life (no parents, husband or children) has really helped me sort out what's really me. For the first time in my ... |

I made friends with women who were involved in my children's school, and they were the closest, most genuine female relationships I've ever had. That was when I was about 45.
Now I've moved, and I'm back to no friends. Lots and lots of acquaintances though. |

I understand this, and behaved in a lesser, but similar way when dating. I'd have 2 or 3 drinks in order to feel less inhibited - not physically, but just to have a normal conversation.
Men didn't seem to like that, so lesson learned. |

| There is one person in my life that I share my thoughts with. I've gone back and forth with whether or not to talk to her, because I know what I say is probably very odd to her, but it's nice to have someone willing to hear my 'emotional dumps'. She's been very kind and generous with her time, but a... |

I was thinking that if I received a positive diagnosis, that I would encourage my mom and my two older children to be accessed.
That's really one of the main reasons I want to do it.
But if I don't do it, I won't bring it up to them. |

| Wow - thank you for explaining the different types of mutism. I never knew this was a thing, and it happens to me when I'm very upset. I try to talk and can't. Theretheirtheyre, nothing you've described (in terms of your needs) is unreasonable. I think it's more how we communicate it to people - the... |
