    My gf's friend wants me to meet her autistic child... is it a good idea?

    Oh wow thank you so much for the responses and comments everyone! You all bring interesting points One of the things that worries me the most is that the child has trust issues when it comes to adults. He feels that he trusts then, then gets betrayed. He loved one of his teachers very much but...

    My gf's friend wants me to meet her autistic child... is it a good idea?

    Oh no I'm not dating a single parent... I think I might have worded it wrongly. I'm talking about the son of my girlfriend's friend. My girlfriend and I don't have children of our own yet

    My gf's friend wants me to meet her autistic child... is it a good idea?

    I only got my diagnostic last summer, so the people around me haven't known that I'm autistic for very long. My girlfriend knew I had huge struggles with certain things but we didn't really have a name for it until recently, although the rest of the family doesn't really know since I've always...

    Ever had this?

    This is one of those things that I struggled with for a long time before my diagnosis allowed me to make sense of why I was doing it. People kept calling me out over this One thing for me is that my eyes will naturally go wherever there's something written. It's not really conscious. If I'm...

    After turning 30 I finally cut my mom off

    I'm proud of you megacomic. It's not easy at all. I'm in a position where I need to do the same thing. My mom and my girlfriend are both doing the same. Every time I get tired and start misunderstanding or misinterpreting things more than usual they get angry at me. It's just a neverending...

    I feel like everything is moving too fast around me. Can anyone relate to this?

    A metaphor I've used recently is that I feel like I'm on a bicycle on the freeway and I'm trying to keep up but cars are swerving around me and passing me at 70 mph. Sometimes I feel like if I could pause life in social situations like you can pause a video game, things would be much easier. I...

    It's my first post here. Hi everyone. Newly diagnosed and feeling lost.

    Hey everyone. Thank you so much for all the kind responses. It's my first time reaching out and to be honest I'm still sort of overwhelmed that there's a name for what I am and that other people have the same issue I think my biggest problem right now is just this overwhelming exhaustion I'm...

    It's my first post here. Hi everyone. Newly diagnosed and feeling lost.

    Hi everyone I'm not really sure where to turn. I was looking for some kind of community or people I could exchange with. I'm 36 and I was diagnosed this summer. I've been feeling very isolated and misunderstood and I barely have any social contacts at all other than my girlfriend and my elderly...
