| I'm an adult. I grew up not realizing that I might be autistic. I also grew up not knowing I have selective mutism, social anxiety, and GAD. I knew I had OCD and depression. I was never diagnosed or treated for anxiety and depression. I didn't even realize I had such severe anxiety until after age 3... |

| I just heard of this today after saying that I feel stuck at 13 years old. I don't understand how to function in the adult world. I feel like a 13 y/o being told to go out, get a job, pay the bills, get insurance, a home, etc. I can't. How? I don't understand. My entire world basically stopped at 13... |

| I suspect a large part of my issue stems from social anxiety disorder, but I don't know. Can someone tell me how you deal with losing in a video game? Not just losing, but potentially being ridiculed by a 14 y/o who has no sense of sportsmanship? A 14 y/o who gloats and brags about worthless accompl... |

| There is an online Aspie test called RAADS-R that I know many of you are familiar with. I could have sworn I took this about 10 years ago and it was different. I just tried to take it and I don't even know how to start answering the questions. This new format makes it impossible for me to answer any... |

| From what I've heard, if someone with autism has issues with sounds, tastes, smells, or textures, etc. then these issues should be accommodated, within reason anyway. I have issues with being near my father or talking to him. He is a bully and makes me miserable. I am stucking living with my parents... |

Too much info, but yet not enough. My cat's veterinarian told me my cat needs an ultrasound because something is go... |

| This just happened and frustrated the heck out of me. The doctor's office called about my father's appointment and how much he'll owe. They were saying that insurance covers 80% and he has to cover 20%. They said insurance covers $1500 and so he'll owe 20% of that which is $300. That's what they sai... |

| Thus far you've used 40 different IP addresses, so I can't know which of them might be causing a problem. OMG! lol. That's kind of creepy that you know that. Yes, I used to have dialup until 2019 and almost everytime I connected to the internet I'd get a different IP address. I resolved the issue I... |

| And it's not necessarily a male thing. Not really. I would know. It's more of a casual or not-serious entertainment thing because it is a game. It could be a demographic thing for all you know if you play internationally. I meant that males tend to be more serious and competitive about the game. Th... |

| I've been playing this online game where people communicate via typed messages (a chat) within the game. So if you're actively playing the game, you hit the pause button, a screen comes up with a chat box where you type your message, then send it. Once it's sent, everyone playing or watching can see... |

| Thanks, I feel a bit better now. But what bugs me is that I don't know when people are genuinely asking how I am and when I'm just supposed to be pleasant and say, "I'm good, how are you?" As an example, I was very close to my great aunt. We'd tell each other all sort of things and could t... |

| I get stared at a lot and it's mostly from children. Although some adults do stare. I'm not sure why this is but I have a few theories. I dress oddly for a female. It's always loose fitting pants/shorts, a loose fitting t-shirt with some sort of loose fitting button or zipper shirt/jacket over it. A... |
