    Friend is changing

    If he is mentioning ANYTHING about wanting to harm himself and is underage, you need to alert his parents and/or a trusted adult. If he is an adult himself, well...laws vary between states/counties/countries/etc.

    Weighted blankets!

    When I find a minky (a man-made, stainless fabric that is so soft), I'm going to see if my cousin can make me [a custom] one, simply because I require a specific texture and pattern, or else it'll just feel like sensory overload/annoy me to no end/etc.

    I almost didn't return here because something someone said really hurt me. And I feel like ranting about it, b/c it was kind of really rude.

    Your relationship status?

    I'm aware, but there is a community of them that exist.

    Your relationship status?

    Actually, it was summer 2014, so... He's only one year younger than me. The problem is/was simply that he had expectations for how women should act, and I am an asexual. I want to eventually get married, I just don't care for people sexualizing every single thing in a relationship, much like he...

    Developing a marketplace for ASD artists, craftspeople, and businesses

    I work with an independent webhosting company and may be able to get the site hosted at a huge discount/for free, depending on the needs. I'm the Partnership Manager and VP of Social Media. Others have already explained the necessary legal aspects of the marketplace, so the only concern I...

    How much self-directed education do you do? How do you do it?

    I taught myself HTML, CSS and PHP, as well as how to use computers, how the Internet works, how to blog/be a full-time blogger, photography, etc. I do better when I can get to the point and learn exactly what I'm interested in, whereas traditional-focused learning is more about learning this...

    They Don’t Want an Autism Cure...

    I saw this a few days ago in the midst of the Twitter war between autistics and Autism $peaks! I was actually really happy, as I'm one of the autistics that don't want a cure, because it's not often do I get to see autistics' views reflected in a semi-positive light without...

    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

    It's been tossed around and suggested I get an official diagnosis... I carry hand sanitizer, wash my hands excessively... my skin dries out so much from washing my hands. I have to wash them, though. If I can't wash them, I need hand sanitizer... My Tourette Syndrome doesn't help at all, as my...

    Kitty, please.

    I seem to do best when I'm taking care of an animal, and lately I've been really wanting a cat again. Mostly, I want a kitten -- I want to raise a cat from its youth, because I've not been able to do that in a while. I love cats and kittens, and I think I'm happier when I'm around them. Like...
