| I'm sorry it's been so hard for you, and I really hope things can improve for you. How long do you have until the end of this semester? Is it nearly finished, or just begun? I think you really need to seek mental health support, because this is a lot for you to handle on your own. Talk to the studen... |

| Do not get caught up in this guy you really like if he still wants his ex back. He is not over her yet. Developing a relationship with someone who isn't over his ex is not a good idea. Period. He is not emotionally available for another relationship yet. You say there are other people you're interes... |

| No, I don't have any particular hate towards neurotypical people-they are people, with different interests, ideas, personalities and goals. They are not some homogenous monolith, any more than any other group is. I don't really see why you do. I think it's amazingly sexist and narrow minded, as well... |

| I'm dealing with a similar situation-I need a B average to get into the postgraduate programs I'm interested in, so I've needed to reprioritise a lot of things to focus on study. Here are some ideas that I do, or other people find success with: 1. Re-reading and rewriting your notes at the end of th... |

| Does the school know about her autism? It might help them understand her a bit better. If they know about her challenges, they may be able to offer ways to help her make friends with other kids. I would also be going to the school and telling them about the bullying-if your mother does not want to d... |

| I think people on the whole tend to remember themselves in a flattering light. They remember themselves as nicer and more likable than they really were. Our memories aren't objective truths-two people can remember the same event very differently. Memory is very subjective, and we tend to paint ourse... |

| Is there any way you could decide to live somewhere other than the college dorms? In New Zealand it's never a requirement. If you'd rather live elsewhere and it's your mother wanting you to live on campus, I think you could consider alternative places to live. Going to college is an adult decision, ... |

Your parents will most likely feel too awkward to bring it up ever again, and the computer stuff people have probably seen much worse. This too shall pass.  |

| This could be because the homework and assignments are based on information that hasn't been covered in lectures at this stage of the course, so it probably wouldn't be a good idea to get it done early. You can read ahead, but you will get a better understanding of the material if you can ask the pr... |

| It's hard to say. The challenges of being a child on the spectrum are different from those of being an adult on the spectrum. I find that navigating adult life with autism is a lot more complex and multilayered. Of course, when I was younger I thought that my experiences back then were also very com... |

| I don't like talking on the phone-I find it really awkward and difficult to know what to say when. I prefer written communication, like facebook, email and texting. People on the spectrum do often have difficulty handling telephone communication. |

| You're probably not going to like this, but I think you need to be aware. You're not entitled to sex, a one night stand or a relationship, at any time, no matter how much you try. Sex is not a reward you get for being "good enough". No, it's not fair. You also need to stop thinking of women as sexua... |

I have a lot of trouble with what many people take for granted as "common sense"-I need specific information. I find it hard to follow... |
