| actually, I do this a lot. I often have difficulties speaking what is on my mind. Even during face to face interactions, there are times I will pull out my phone and type a message instead of speaking it simply because I can be much more precise in text than I have ever been in talking. During meltd... |

Honestly, I found that taking these as compliments was the best thing I could do.
When someone would tell me I was weird, I thanked them. What they meant was I wasn't like them... and I had no desire to be like most of 'them'. |

When I first got here, I didn't even have a place to live, so I hopped from hotel to hotel based on the lowest rate of the n... |

| One of the most important things in teaching someone with ADHD/ASD is to get them interested in it. If you can capture their attention, they will practically teach themselves. I know that sounds oversimplified, but it is very much the truth. I haven't ever taught music, but in teaching, there was ba... |

| The worst I have experienced was not by a classmate, but by a teacher that disliked me in fourth grade. She sat me down in the middle of the class (gathered in a circle around me) and had each of the class (roughly 30 kids) each tell me one thing they disliked about me. If they couldn't think of som... |

| Cant see the video on my computer. Basically you're asking folks who have recreationally used acid, and/or pot, how it has effected them as autistics. Pot tends to make folks mildly more 'autistic'- ie more into their own thoughts, and less extravert while high. But its not debilitating either on o... |

| For me, it is usually a case of "didn't know". For example, I didn't know that when people asked how you were, it was rude to just answer the question rather than asking how they were in return. I didn't know that it wasn't so much a question as a basic social interaction. Social reciprocity, as wit... |
