Yes I am of course talking about myself right now, as annoying as some small talk may be, what I would give for ANYONE to just say hello to me. I barely utter a word to anyone,... |

| Most people get bothered when they hear someone elses problems (because it reminds them of their own). Couple that to the fact that a 'NT' could never possibly understand what its like to have AS/high functioning autism. You probably sound to them as if you're looking for pity, even if thats not at ... |

| The more you complain, the harder they are going to pester you. Obviously they're poking you for a reason in the first place, that reason being they extract some sort of entertainment from it. Playing right into them will only make them poke you more/harder. I'm not suggesting that 'ignoring it' is ... |

| My birthday comes and goes like any other day. No phone calls, no messages, no drop-ins, nothing. I get quite depressed by that alone, it would be nice to know at least ONE person cares. I would gladly trade you, perhaps you should be more grateful for the reception you get? cuz there are people lik... |

| Just painting over permanent marker (sharpies) will not remove them from your wall. Thats probably why your dad didn't listen to you, if you just paint over permanent marker, it will simply come through the paint. You would need to sand them off, prime the wall, and then paint it, thats 2 different ... |

| Hugging seems to be an odd social behaviour. I know personally, if someone were to come up to me and randomly hug me, i'd tell them to get the f*** off me (but i'm also a 26 year old man, and I don't think men hugging other men is considered usually considered socially acceptable). For you though, s... |

I always feel as if by looking someone in the eye I am somehow being invasive and that they think negative things about me for which I gain a strong sense I guilt. Am I the only one who has... |
