| Hi Coda, Haven't seen you in a while. What will you do when you finish college? I was diagnosed with autism at about age 3, about 1964. I'm going to do a course with a charity who help people with special needs get ready for work. We'll do stuff like group work, volunteering in the community, work ... |

| I'm just wondering at what age people were diagnosed with autism. Was it when you were a young kid? As an older kid? As a teenager? An adult? Or are you still waiting to be diagnosed? I was diagnosed when I was 11 years old. Before that, I lived in a small town in the north where nobody knew what au... |

| I had a bad break up with my ex-girlfriend and couple months ago, we were together for about 6 months. Our relationship was quite good at the start but 2 months in to the relationship, she would constantly put me down for my autism. She would point out certain things like how I didn't understand how... |

| I went to see this doctor (not my GP) that I have to see every month or so. Last time I went, they talked to my mum alone and said something about getting tested. I went to see them again today and they told me that I'm getting tested for multiple personality disorder... I think it was multiple pers... |

| I have industrial-grade highest sound block ear defenders. I wear them at home when I want the windows open or when the neighbours are being noisy. So many meltdowns have been prevented by them. I know exactly what you mean. As soon as my mum opens the windows in my room (mainly for the dogs rather... |

| I love ear defenders. They're an Autistic persons best friend. You can see mine in my profile picture. I have the Peltor X1A SNR 27dB Ear Defenders and they're amazing but I'm thinking of getting the Peltor X4A for when I go to college as it's quite loud in college and the X1A doesn't seem to block ... |

| NO! The amount of times I've wanted to kill myself and have tried to kill myself is quite a lot but those are times when I'm very sad but right now, I'm happy with my life and don't want to die. What if, in my depressive mood, I declared that I wanted to euthanise myself? I'd be dead by now. If it w... |

I have to make sure everything feels right otherwise it'll just ruin my entire day. To put on socks and shoes, it takes around an hour. I have t... |

| This happened to me a lot. I make friends with people only for them to be very nasty and abusive. It doesn't happen as much as it did when I was younger, thankfully, as I'm in college now and people aren't cruel because they are older and mature. When I was younger, I was very very naïve and a lot m... |

| In my case I know something is wrong and always has been, but hell am I clueless about it. As a toddler I had almost all autism signs and I still do now so I suspect it's autism, but I can't diagnose myself. Waiting for a professional to do that. I wouldn't be surprised if it was autism, but there ... |

| What do you think in response to this, then, Coda: You seem to apply your idea indiscriminately; your opening post indicates you think for example that much older members "should be diagnosed" along with everyone else regardless of personal circunstances or choices. How is it that you kno... |

| Hi Coda, I'm glad you're doing well in college. You were a little concerned that you might not do so well--but you are! When Raptor talks about not quite getting to the top in an elevator, it's sort of the same thing as saying that one is not the "sharpest tool in the shed." In other word... |
