| There's nothing unusual going on. He's not shy about telling you the truth... he probably respects you enough to do it. You don't know how hard it is for someone with AS to just tell someone the truth. They don't go around telling just anyone. |

| I do both. I try to fix things myself first, but if that doesn't work, I look to others for help. No shame in that, as long as it isn't your first option. |

| Maybe you should do it for the greater good. That's a terrible attitude to have. You'll miss out on a lot. |

| I really don't know why people want to "embrace" their differences, when we as a species are supposed to fit in with the pack. I want to fit in, I want to be like everyone else... I want to be normal. Must be nice not caring what people think of you. We embrace our differences because we have no ot... |

Awesome thread is awesome.
Also, as a guy, I find women with C cups to be juuuuuuuuuust right. B is okay too, but A is kind of disappointing. I really don't like the enormous kind, they just stand out way too much and distract me from the rest of her body. (namely, the face) |

| So Thursday I will again attempt to take a chance at trying to talk to a girl I used to know a while back. Like, a LONG while back. My mom used to babysit her when I was about 6 and she was maybe 4. I want to talk to her outside of class, but her friend is always there talking to her, and I am afrai... |

| Could be. I'm willing to bet it is because there are no repercussions for doing nothing in the "casual" setting. If I do nothing in the classroom I will gain nothing, possibly lose participation points. |

| I feel like a 40 year old man in a 21 year old's body. Some people with AS are much more mature than others... that's why it is so difficult to fit in sometimes. We'll be older than our age group, and will only fit in with those that are older than us. Then, we look even worse because all the people... |

Growing up, I witnessed my sister go through a lot of bad s**t just because she had autism (not abuse, just daily struggles with life) and becau... |

| You're only 16 though. You may be like me and when you turn 21, everything is instantly okay. I despised all that behavior until I was about 20, going on 21. Then I figured out it could be fun. |

It must be tough for short people with AS though... I'd have to say if I didn't owe it to my height, I'd probably have seriously inj... |
