| I don't tend to make unique noises when I can't find words but I do make hand gestures. My fingers will flex and extend or just kind of move around a bit. |

| There is nothing wrong with nudity. It's mostly a hygiene issue. I think it's healthy to grow up in a household where bodies are not hidden. If you can resolve the hygiene issue like putting individual towels down like they do where Vicky lives than it should really by up to each family's comfort le... |

| I don't know if I would tell the carer to "Piss off." It is her or his job to talk to you. I would politely remind him or her that you are autistic and that you prefer not to talk but that you are fine. Then excuse yourself and wish him or her a nice day and say good bye. |

| I think that once you get yourself together and feel more secure within yourself you will be fine to reestablish relationships with your parents. They seem to be very loving and don't come across by what you said to be cutting off with you. Sounds like you just need some space to get yourself togeth... |

| The main grievance I can think of is my sister, who can be quite nasty to me. She told me things like, "You wouldn't make a very good girl," etc. FWIW, just from getting to know you by reading your posts, I always thought you sounded like a girl. I never for a moment thought you were actually a guy... |

| Please stop with the belly dancing. That is all. What's wrong with it? I think it's great that Vicky does that. It is so good for her. I don't understand why you, AspE, have a problem with it either. If you, AspE do not like it you don't have to go see her do it. I am waiting for you, AspE, to answ... |

| I can talk about my special interests for a very long time and with great passion. I usually don't go on about it if others are not interested in it. I am also very protective of my special interests, I don know if others are like this too, but if I know that someone else does not like my interest I... |
