    Early diagnosed people here?

    I’m sorry for insinuating that late diagnosed people would not understand this. I currently feel like no one does. But that’s my brain’s fault, not yours. I don’t know. I’m sorry.

    I got my diagnosis at 5 too.

    Early diagnosed people here?

    Are there some early diagnosed people here? I feel like a good many of us are late diagnosed. I know that a lot of people here are older so that could be a factor. Diagnostic criteria used to be stricter. But I still think they are wildly different experiences. I want to know how many of those...

    Martial Arts/Self Defense Classes for Autistics?

    I have recently been receiving some very disturbing cyberbullying messages. I was ignoring it until it went from just insults to threats of violence. The person threatened to beat me up. I have reason to believe that this person goes to my school and would be able to find me and do it. I told my...

    Believing that objects can talk to me.

    I have a fear of going to a doctor or therapist. My first therapist alternated between treating me like I was completely normal and not giving me any accommodations (fidgets, a way to talk to her when I was verbally exhausted, etc) and treating me like I was a literal child and speaking to me as...

    Believing that objects can talk to me.

    I looked up the symptoms. A lot of them match up with symptoms of autism. How would you hypothetically know if you have both? Especially if your autism is quite noticeable and would explain a lot of behaviors.

    What if my spouse was the stapler?

    Believing that objects can talk to me.

    I don’t know. It could be a fantasy world. But I don’t personally think so. But maybe I’m just convincing myself it’s not. I do want to try to get IRL friends. Since one of my interests is DND, I was thinking of going down to the games store on my bike and asking if they have groups for people...

    Believing that objects can talk to me.

    This happens a lot. I see objects as alive. I can talk to them in my head and they talk back. I have relationships with them. I told my parents and it didn’t go well. They told me that objects can’t really talk to me and I need to focus on reality. I can’t convince myself they don’t. Am I crazy...

    How do I make friendships?

    I’m not completely comfortable giving my location away online, especially since I am a minor. Is there a reason why you’re asking?

    How do I make friendships?

    But I’m not a phone addict. Or I don’t think I am, at least. How do I know if I am? Do I lie and say I am?

    How do I make friendships?

    I checked it out. And I started crying. I wish so hard that I didn’t have to train like this. I wish I could just interact as myself without training a persona to do it for me, but I know I probably can’t. I don’t think I’m in the right mental state to read this right now. Maybe later. I’ll...

    How do I make friendships?

    I don’t really have anyone’s number. People don’t give me their number unless we have to meet up for a group project or something. I do have one person’s number, but she hasn’t texted me in ages. Should I text her? I feel if people cared they would give me their number. If people cared they...
