When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

That actually sounds really fun =D

I hate sports too. I think I would rather do nothing at all than play basketball.

Berserker have you tried talking to people on the internet? instant messaging maybe, or if you felt up to it, there are ventrillo servers where people talk to one another. i find it a lot easier and it helps me build social skills since i don't have to be worried about eye contact body language and other stuff.

Well that's a start. I'm not any expert on knowing how to meet people since i have virtually no friends, but as long as you have people to talk to and continue to build your social skills, maybe in the future you can move to a bigger city and find people who are similar to you =] try not to think that your life is over, we're still really young and tons of stuff is gonna happen. be positive!

I hope you're not being sarcastic =[

You're a good artist, have you tried playing around with photoshop? You could probably learn how to make really nice websites and logos and stuff since you seem talented in that way. It would probably help you feel less bored and like you're wasting your time too, since it's a valuable skill =D

if i'm not being helpful just say and i'll stop.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. I just can't word stuff right! ><

I haven't got Photoshop. I asked nanna to get it for me, but she said it's too expensive. Once, I downloaded the free trial, and it wouldn't even work. Well, this is a pretty bad computer.

You are being helpful! No need to stop helping, m'kay?

hah i'm not sure whether it's you that can't word stuff, or me that doesn't know how to properly interpret stuff, so i say we both just not worry about it and be extremely blunt with each other haha.

you play games and stuff though so shouldn't your computer be somewhat okay?

There is a nice free replacement for photoshop: GIMP http://www.gimp.org/; its interface is not resembling PhotoShop, but it is still very functional editor.
Of course there is another variant: buy disk with "unofficial", pirated PhotoShop (it is very cheap) or get it from torrents, but it is less elegant solution :)

I play video games, not computer games. I do play ROMs sometimes though, as they work better than actual PC games.
