| At this point I tend to expect that I am not included. That doesn't mean people are purposely excluding me, but simply make no effort one way or the other. Being treated as though I was invisible or excluded use to be very upsetting for me. It was heartbreaking to feel like no one liked me or would ... |

| I'm not sure if there is a real good way to bring it up. It's a lot easier to have someone ask you questions about ASD than to just start talking about how you function. A person would think that if they would ask you about it, if they care for you in an attempt to understand better. But I suppose t... |

I did almost pass out while having blood drawn once, but that was because I hadn't had much to eat lol I've been told I have great veins, I guess cuz they're e... |

| People tend to fear or feel threatened by what they consider out of the norm. Different responses can come from that. Making up stories, avoidance, or by challenging you. I've had some issues with this kind of thing. I've been told/thought to be I'm intimidating, a snob, lazy, manipulative, a liar e... |
