| Yes, I can honestly say the same about her daughter. What I really cannot understand is the fact that this woman allows us to be friends if she doesn't seem to approve of me. I had spoken to my therapists today about the situation and it sounds like I was trying to set boundaries with her. They also... |

| Nearly a month ago, I went to meet up with two female friends at a festival. One of these friends is more severely disabled and lives with her parents who are pretty strict. They are also extremely over protective with her and that that jazz. It was during the festival that I had several run ons wit... |

| I live in a dorm building with another kid with aspergers. (not my roommate, thank god) Now, I'm pretty normal for the most part, I've pretty much grown out of my social awkwardness and everyone thinks I'm normal. It seems that my only real problems I have are with paying attention in class and kee... |

| Two examples. 1) I was about six and an a half, and my mother went to house sit and take care of a 10 year old girl. This 10 year old had a computer that she loved to print images which was in her father's office. One-day, she had a friend over and they happened to print off images for greetings. (T... |

| What made me blood boil was the way she acted when they were leaving. She had this snobby, irritated, and almost self-righteous tone to her voice. She didn't even bother to talk to me about it afterwards or apologize. Instead, she walked by me and said, "Bye," and then said my name. I then decided t... |

| I usually have birthday parties every year but that is because I like tradition. I am going to be 30 this year and I am doing a big 80's theme since I was born in 1981. As for alcohol, it's highly overrated and it will get you into trouble. You might also with the meet the seven friends at a restaur... |

| Sometimes she snuggles on her husband and holds his hand and is all happy and it's fine but she constantly does it in front of me. It's "Oh honey." I am fine with it's almost like she is doing it on purpose because she is still insecure and wants to get under my nails on purpose. |

| Don't try to be something that you are not as it never works. Instead, I would learn how to revise those social skills and then be yourself as much as possible while having fun and staying positive. However, you have to be comfortable in your own shoes first and that always works. |
