| I'm 17. My mom has been saying she is going to try to get me diagnosed for a long time, but she hasn't done anything. My dad refuses to believe that I fit any of the criteria for autism. I have a boyfriend of 2 years. I spend more time with him than anyone. He knows me better than anyone else and un... |

My mom just changed the plans, and now I am freaking out and don't know what to do.
What do you do to calm a meltdown?
How do you deal with it?
Does anyone understand????

Yeah he's awesome. It's a pretty interesting show isn't it?
My sister told me about it and said Gary reminds her of me and then I researched him and found out the Gary is supposed to be autistic.
I really like watching shows with people I can relate to, which isn't often. |

He said that to get in the role he worked with autistic teenagers and read documentaries and watched films etc. I think that ... |

| For me I think a new interest just begins to take over the old one. I will get an overwhelming urge to indulge in my new interest and not have time anymore for the old one. This is exactly how I am, and sometimes it will hobby-type things and then I feel bad because my dad will think I've lost inte... |

| I understand how hard it is to be an autistic adolescent but resenting your autism and desperately wishing to be someone else is no way to live. What exactly do you hate about being autistic? Are you bullied and/or excluded? If so, then it may be society's reaction to your autism that you hate. Aut... |

It'll last 2 weeks, you'll end up ruining your friendship(s) and it's just pointless.. >.< This is how I feel about most relationships too. I'm in a relationship and have been for almost a year.

I can tell if someone is autistic just by looking at them and I've never been wrong once! Oh that's cool! I feel like I can too, but I've never co... |

| No idea what you're talking about. If anything Aspies are more embarrassing. I see your point muslimmetalhead; the meltdowns and lack of awareness of social etiquette can be embarrassing but that isn't really what this thread is about. Most (but not all) NT teenage boys are among the worst individu... |

| It depends. My feelings are linked to my mood, and I only feel feminine when I wear something I really like. :P Even then I'm not sure I do, I look forward to wearing pretty things but I don't necessarily feel good in them. But then that may be thanks to confidence. I kind of feel the same way. Up ... |

When you collect notebooks and blank journals would you ever write in them? Or do you just leave them blank? |
