| You have no idea how many times I have dealt with one-sided situations that it's not even funny. Until most recently, I had been attending a local autism group that was put on by two people who were supposed to be my friend. I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for these people and thei... |

| Hi Baby Bird: The one where I get discouraged a lot is driving a car and I am tired of it. I also have seemed to get the responses about being a receptionist. Yet, no one at work has seemed to care what I feel or what I really want. I want to be a psychologist and I want to teach. Yet, I have seen s... |

| First of all, learning to be assertive and saying no. However, please keep in mind that we are direct communicators and people off the spectrum feel that direct communication is rude. It's best to say "I am not comfortable going to your home because I struggle with anxiety." Don't mention ... |

| Is anyone interested in seeing Dreamworks' "Home?" I saw it last weekend, and I LOVED it!! I thought it was adorable, and very touching. The basic plot is that a race of aliens called "The Boov" decide to colonize Earth in order to hide from their enemies, and relocate all the h... |

| I am getting interested in seeing the newest film by preparing for it. I also saw a few clips and had to laugh at the way the deaths are presented. Honestly if I can handle watching 1. The Melting Nazis and the death of another Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark 2. The scariest scene in Poltegeist 3. T... |

| It sounds like she may have had some mental health issues and was having an episode. People like this will go off at anyone due to those issues. The best thing to do is walk away and let them yell or call the transit authorities who are better trained. As for for the person who she kicked, the other... |

Hi:
Even though I could never be brave enough to watch because I am seeing that people are walking away feeling traumatized. I have to ask how can anyone can do that.
In the meantime, I am interested in the plot about how these people cheat death |

| Even though several self advocates are speaking up, I am finding some backlash by long term caregivers who are picking on them. Although they are frustrated, I feel like they are acting very entitled. While I hear where they are coming from, I king of feel like it is not our fault that we have lower... |

| He kept being pushy about everything (meeting, texting, coming over), etc even when you said no multiple times. Blocking him was a good call. Off topic, so it turns out that I had posted about this around the time that it happened as I did a dig. Anyway, the first weekend that I avoided him, it was... |

| ^ Yeah, that's annoying. It's one thing if they point something out to help you and explain things so you can learn. It's another thing to point something out then laugh. Knowing they're autistic, I assume they're doing it because it's happening to them. Like you said though, not my problem. I don'... |
