| I am sorry your mom is dying, perhaps you can text her or go and see her before she passes? I would try and ignore the negative comments she makes. If it's too much, I wouldn't go or even talk to her while she is passing. She is making this choice to treat you like this than making it peaceful for ... |

IF she were actually dying. She isn't. |

| She's still at it too. She told me to "let her die in peace" and told me I need to get over this depression as if it's a choice. Well it is mostly her fault for not helping me with my special intrest or getting me to someone who can. "I called one vet. Sorry it was a misunderstanding ... |

| My mother makes me feel awful. I finally get my nerve up to make a phone call and she just brings me down by telling me how "standoffish" I am. When I ask her how I am "standoffish" she says "I can't fix you!" I wasn't asking her to "fix me" but to tell me wha... |

| I can recall a few group projects in elementary where I would ask the teacher if I could work on it alone--especially if it had to do with animals or plants (making a report on a plant, etc.). I can also remember asking the teacher if I could stay inside for recess so I could read. While I preferre... |

| I wouldn't say I self-isolated, but I always preferred to spend most of my time alone. I sometimes hung out with other kids or at least talked to them at school, but generally I could be found doing my own thing. I didn't run around in the woods because we were in a city with no woods nearby, and a... |

| I'm wondering if other people were isolated by choice as a children. I never had the desire to socialize with other kids or even adults of that matter. If someone wanted to talk about my special interests, I'd want to interact; but people who shared my special interests were so far few in between. I... |

| I was diagnosed when I was very young. Around 7 or 8. I don't remember any extinctual crisis because I was still a child in a single digit age. They called it Asperger's back then...despite the fact I had a speech delay. Being autistic is all I ever knew. My parents did not hide my diagnosis from me... |

| I had a hysterectomy at 23 so I would stop having periods. Found a doctor who agreed with me. I couldn't remember to take hormones and those might have bad side effects. An IUD would be too painful to put in. I never wanted children anyway. Everyone said I would regret having a hysterectomy so young... |
