| If you want help look into cognitive behavioural therapy and start changing the way you think This is exactly what I want. I'm crying out for help, and I've been on the phone to them, and I've been to my GP loads of times to get referred to counselling and CBT, and they have referred me but the soc... |

| I blame myself for everything. I blame myself for my brother's depression because I've always needed more attention through our childhood, and I'm still a big pain in the arse now, and because my brother is a shy NT and hasn't got as many friends now as he did at school, he's fallen into depression ... |

I also feel embarrassed because my next door neighbou... |

| Oh - another thing I wanted to say about meltdowns is my relatives have to not tell me things in order to avoid a meltdown. But sometimes NTs think they're doing themselves a favour by not telling me, but are actually makng the matter worse. Take this for example:- Say for example someone had a tumm... |

| I know what I hate about it. Everything in this world what I hate are the things what I can't escape from. For example, I hate toddlers, teenagers, being out alone in public, looking for employment, snowy winters, colds and tummy bugs, loud noise, shopping....... All these things are impossible to e... |

| I find it so hard to endure toddlers when they have tantrums. It's because my ears are more sensitive than normal, and nobody has any idea how painful it is for me. The sound from the brat goes through my head, and both my ears vibrate and squeak and it makes me feel a bit unbalanced. Also, because ... |

| I find it harder when I'm somewhere where I can't go home when I please. If I'm at a party somewhere local, I can stay there until I start becoming overwhelmed and ''exhausted'' of putting on a front, and I could just come home. But if I'm somewhere far and they've arranged someone to drop me off ho... |

| Usually my meltdowns are triggered by anger. I get angry when I start thinking deeply about me being the only one with AS in the family. Also if I get criticised by a family member it can set me off (depends on what they're criticising about). When I have a meltdown I do not touch any objects or oth... |

| I wouldn't be so ashamed of it if it didn't send out vibes telling strangers in the street that I'm ''weird''. And I wouldn't be so ashamed of it if it didn't involve uncontrollable meltdowns. And I wouldn't be so ashamed of it if it meant just a few social difficulties and that was it. What bothers... |

| Some Aspies on this site have told me that all Aspies send of vibes without doing a single thing, and that the AS shows right through them, no matter what. That has somehow frightened me because now I know there is no escape from standing out. I'll be called ''weird'' throughout my whole life, even ... |

| When I was 16 I got called ''sexy'' by 12 year old boys - and I could tell they were just taking the piss. Also I got called ''loner'' by a group of girls when I was 14, because I was walking home from school by myself and one of them just had to shout that stupid word. And I got called a ''f*****g ... |

| I didn't mind gym class. I liked all indoor PE lessons. It was outdoor PE what I hated, especially at the big school when we had to play hockey and netball, because they were team games, which I hated the most. I was just as bad as team games than I was at maths. I could never catch the ball, I coul... |
