| I was just about to make my own post but I think I'll just tag off of yours. My questions are: 1. In the US, how much does the average autism evaluation cost with cash, upfront, and without using health insurance? 2. Can you still get DX'd without getting your parents involved? My parents are both n... |

Hell.
My first semester of college was literally the worst four months of my life. I was sleep deprived, practically addicted to RedBull, and about 10 times more suicidal than 'normal'. I got a 4.0 GPA, but it wasn't worth it. |

| They didn't really force me to make friends per say, but I recall a time when they made me go with my older sister to a roller derby with her friends. I didn't want to go (noise + boring), so I brought my Rubik's cube. My dad was SO MAD when he found out. As far as other traits, they'd tell me to lo... |

I mean yeah... it feels nice and stuff, but it's also kind of confusing and weird. I don't know if this is an everyone thing, an a... |

| Can anyone recommend cheap(ish) noise cancelling earbuds (not headphones) that they have tried out for themselves? I know that I'll get what I pay for, but I'd rather not spend more than $100. I saw BTDT's suggestion, but I'd honestly rather spend more than that for more quality. So I guess maybe $4... |

| That's an interesting take on it. I don't care much at all about what other people do, I just wish people would accept the fact that I don't like eye contact. Just tonight my mom was messing with me by staring at me at the dinner table- I couldn't even look in her direction when she did that. She on... |

| Do you have self-harming stims? * I answered 'kinda' because I self-injure, but not as a stim. A stim is something you do because you like the sensation of doing it, whereas with self-injury I do it because I want a visible sign of distress, even though I find it painful and unpleasant. Yeah... was... |

I'd take the million dollars in either case ASD cured or not lol. If I had a million dollars I would buy (or lease) a building an... |

| This goes deeper than just the diagnosis. She no doubt had issues long before the DX. Also, (I believe) suicide rates among aspies is relatively high to begin with. It's really too bad that she wasn't able to talk more about it. |
