There isn't really anyone that we could contact other than her, she has a business with a few other people but they don't have a receptionist or anything, it's pretty small. I will search if they have a website though. |

| So, I've been seeing this therapist about a year now. Last time I was there, I had no more appointments and she didn't tell my mom to schedule more. I decided to not bother her about it and go home. My mom called her last week, and left a message that she wanted to schedule more appointments. I'm su... |

| I'm going back next Monday, and I got my questions answered, thank god. Now I'm just nervous for no real reason other than I feel nervous and this is a giant change. I'm just pretending this isn't going to happen. |

| After being denied an IEP for my good social skills, and being determined "not technically autistic" by my school, they have finally agreed to give me a 504 plan. I'm being pressured by my dad to go back this year, which I don't want to, but I'm still doing because I feel like I have to. I... |

I already have extreme sensory problems relating to poop, and now I have I can't even spell it, it starts with a d, you kn... |

| I would kill all the school officials. They're heartless bastards and don't want to give me any help at all. Apparently I'm not longer autistic according to them. I can't even come into school, and they claim that my autism "doesn't affect my performance at school". Like b*****s, shut the ... |

| I'm pretty sure everyone does this, but I do it A LOT. Like I say like all the time. See? I just did it! I try to do it less over text, but irl I say "like" almost every word, say um 24/7, and I also say "you know" and "I mean" a lot. |

| I'm being very pressured at my age to start driving, but I don't think I'm ready. Whenever I'm in the car, it's hard enough for me to simply exist without flipping out. I hope I can move somewhere where I can take public transport or ride a bike when I get older. I'll probably try to drive, but I ca... |

| The average age here is pretty old, obviously, lol. But I prefer it to more modern social media because I'm not sure why. I guess because it seems old, and I take a lot of comfort in the past. I definitely wouldn't change the design, one of the reasons I come on here is because it looks less modern.... |

| I confess that as an Autistic kid, I had such an aversion to the cold feeling of a toilet seat on my thighs, that I would hold my poop in for days sometimes, just to avoid going to the toilet. I don't know why I do it, but I've done that for as long as I can remember. I hold my poop in for weeks at... |

| Being in an isolated area, and being homeschooled, makes things really difficult as far as socialization is concerned. No ——, Sherlock, I know I’m just commiserating with you by stating the obvious. How do you feel about the 4H Club? Or something like Junior Achievement? What is 4H and Junior Achie... |

| It's better not to worry about what your diagnosis is. Getting attached to a diagnostic label might make your therapy less effective. The BEST way to make friends that I know of is to join a group or club. Your profile summary says you're 14 years old: I suggest you try talking to your guidance cou... |

| I’d wear noise cancelling headphones or earbuds when I could. I do but the baby is so loud that you can still it! 8O Active noise cancelling won't help with that type of noise, the only thing I can suggest that might work is earplugs or earmuffs that are made for really loud noises. I have some mad... |
