| Audio hallucination is probably about the most disquieting experiences I have ever had. I would advise seeking help. I have no idea of your hallucination for me among the factors was most certainly drug use disturbingly from taken months before. Take care and look after yourself above all keep calm... |

| Ok so for the last several days I've been hearing ambulance noises on loop in the background 24 hours a day. It sounds like there's an ambulance a block away, but after hearing it for several hours it occurred to me that it was very unlikely an ambulance would be sitting in the same place for that l... |

| First, if someone isn't impaired by their ASD symptoms then they don't qualify for a diagnosis. It's like how you wouldn't diagnose someone with dyslexia if they had a few mild symptoms but it didn't make reading difficult at all and they were quite good at it. You should read about BAP (broad autis... |

| Maybe a part where a NPC makes a strange face that isn't a facial expression people actually use and then the player has to guess from a large list which emotion they're trying to express. If you guess wrong the NPC could say something like YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW I FEEL! or get angry in some other... |

| I'm going to think about it as a timeline that separates/branches out when different events occur. There are some where I was diagnosed as a child and some where I wasn't (which is what happened). This results in multiple possible futures for the "me's" that inhabit those timelines. In the timelines... |

Why can't parents help? Therapists don't know anything. I hope your daughter gets the help SHE WANTS, not what ... |

| This will probably be a pretty long post, so bear with me. This isn't part of her AS. It sounds to me like depression. If she's been like this for more than a few weeks and is suicidal then she's depressed. She just realized that she has a disability that's going to be with her for her entire life. ... |

My grandfather would let my brother play with his tools, wood, nails, etc and tinker, but when I wanted to play with... |

Sorry if we men have contributed to the feelings you are having.
Thanks, I already feel better :3
I'm not upset at men though just to clear, but thanks for being supportive, I appreciate it. |

| I take it you're not French, Spanish or German then. They have gender specific words for "the" depending on whether the object is masculine, feminine or neuter. That's something I can't get my head round, I end up using the wrong le, la, der, die, das, el etc. I had lots of male teachers. Why are p... |

Like others have said I think the best thing for you to do is talk to your friend and ask him what he actually wants.
Also, I think you need to reconsider the way you think and talk about women. Personally I find some of the things you say very offensive. |
