    Should I be trying to make friends as a young autistic?

    If you pretend long enough you won't be able to tell you from the pretend... It's a weird thing

    Should I be trying to make friends as a young autistic?

    Whatever you do... Don't do it the way I did it... I watched a bunch of movies, and watched people... And then I used what I learned so that I could figure out how to make friends... And it works... But it's exhausting and then you start wondering if they're actually your friends

    "Autistic" or "Person with Autism"?

    I really could not care less... I don't see any reason to use person first language... I figure we have described people in a particular way for a very long time, there really is no reason to change it. I understand that it may offend some people's sensibilities..

Things like hand flapping and other things that really just remind me of my kids when they were younger not...

    Are many autistic people prevented from learning another language?

    I'm not sure if I've replied to this... I took German, French, and Spanish... And honestly I struggled, at best I could find a library, a beer, and a bathroom... And in Spanish I might be able to find piece of paper I might be able to ask you how you were doing or tell you to have a good...

    What would you have done in this situation?

    I would have hollered at mom and told the kid to go sit with her

    Are many autistic people prevented from learning another language?

    I have always struggled... I tried three different languages when I was in high school and middle school... I struggled to make it through the first year... And other than learning how to find a beer, bathroom, library, and a few inappropriate comments... I can't tell you much of anything in...

    What do you think about this?

    Well actually, a lot of research suggests that it may be more like two boys for every girl You have to keep in mind That a lot of the criteria was developed with young boys in mind... And actually it's young Caucasian boys... Also typically a lot of the things that females do makes it easier...
