    Gift Giving

    I gave it some thought, I think I have a sore spot about gift giving, because my mom is always buying me and my sister gifts that we don't ask for and then she gets mad at us for not appreciating her efforts and guilt trips us.

    new here, hello

    Hi, my name is Jules, they/he, I'm 25 yrs old and trying to get use to the fact I might be autistic. My last therapist highly suspected me of being on the spectrum, she gave me two online quizzes to take and both came out me being "some autistic traits/mild" or "indicative of having ASD" and my...
