    Is it worth getting ESA paperwork?

    Thank you for this link. It’s been somewhat helpful. The website is a little confusing though.

    Is it worth getting ESA paperwork?

    while this might be true for no pet apartments and regular housing, college housing would depend on that specific colleges rules. And while some colleges are being more lenient, many are still strict about it.

    Is it worth getting ESA paperwork?

    As a junior in highschool, I recognize that in a little over a year I will be an adult and heading off to college. One of the things that I’m dreading is not having my pets. I had fish tanks since I can remember and a hermit crab for awhile. Since 3rd grade I’ve had cats and guinea pigs. When...

    That’s fantastic? I think?

    Diagnosis, Finally

    I want to thank everyone on here for helping me. I may not have made many posts, but the few I did have gotten me finally diagnosed. It’s validating to know that it’s not that I’m not trying to make friends, I’m not just antisocial. I spent a lot of time tortured by my mothers words, (although...

    Dealing With Sound Sensitivity

    The ear bud suggestion is a good idea, but I really love music and it might be to much of a distraction for me. Plus you’re right, some of my classes won’t be okay with me listening to music. I think the FM system might be almost to much. I still manage to get my work done even with the noise...

    Dealing With Sound Sensitivity

    I get very easily distracted an overwhelmed by sounds. This is definitely a struggle in school. In certain classes kids are either very talkative, or playing music. I find it very hard to focus and do my work when the kids in the class are playing the minecraft theme music. I know some people...

    Hilarious Moment at the Therapists

    Personally it doesn’t feel like rejection. To be fair to them I’ve gotten all the way to 16 before I decided I need to say anything. I managed to adjust myself pretty well. So the response of “it wasn’t an issue” is correct, the only things my parents really had to deal with were my dislike for...

    Hilarious Moment at the Therapists

    It was a fantastic surprise. It also felt confirming because I knew the people who had watched me as a baby agreed with my own logic.

    Hilarious Moment at the Therapists

    So I joined this forum a few months ago seeking advice. I had an idea that I might be autistic and was nervous about bringing it up to my family. I went to my therapist as suggested and today we finally decided it was time to just do it. Ask about getting tested. I bring my mom in and I let my...

    I hate the pool

    Yeah I’m pretty sure it was a lie to scare kids (and adults I guess) from peeing in pools.

    Suggestions for Approach?

    I have around two weeks before I get to see my therapist again, and I want to have an action plan. I only get to see her for about 50 minutes every other week, so if I don’t get my point across in time it could be forever until I see her again. I want to approach her about helping me get autism...

    Who Should I Go To?

    That’s my plan at the moment if I need to tell them about it before I can talk to my therapist/if she doesn’t support me. That’s also why I want to get tested, if I rule out autism I need to figure out why I have these issues/how to cope with them.
