| There are times when I wished I wasn't caffeine intolerant, I tend to stay away from beverages high in caffeine. A simple cup of coffee makes me pretty sick and when that fever starts I tend to fall asleep. Tea & soda I can handle, but anything beyond that and it'll knock me out within half an h... |

| I don't believe autism has anything to do with height, because I'm only 5'1". Your height is mostly controlled by genetics. |

| Watching young girls or girls that are in their yard or house window makes you look more like a creep. If you're doing it to minors you'll get into serious trouble, like possible prison time. You should instead find a hobby, maybe you'll find a girl that way obsessing over not having a girlfriend is... |

| I think there's an age ceiling for ABA, however that might be different depending on where you live. I was at therapy today talking about it and I heard you can only get it if you're under age 25. |

I'm sure they have it, I'm 21 at the moment and my parents are forcing me to get ABA therapy starting next month much to my detest. It more than
likely won't do anything for me, as I don't want any treatment anyways. |

| At age 25, it isn't too old there's probably many others in the same situation - I'm currently 21 living with my parents and California rent prices even for a single bedroom apt. + utilities is above my monthly salary even though I'm working full time. |

Just be yourself, go with the flow there's no need to make your crush think you're something else; if you over think it you may end up messing up more than if you didn't.
The worst she can say is no. |

My mother wants me in the program for it, however I've been quite resistant. However, as of current since I'm financially dependent on ... |

| I haven't exactly yet, at the moment I'm pretty dependent on other people helping me select what to dress in. Otherwise I just wear whatever is comfortable, casual, and for going out, usually just a hoodie and a pair of jeans. |
