    Anyway, it's nice to see the next generation coming out like this and spreading awareness.

    You haven't thought of getting it officially diagnosed? Or did they **** you around when you tried the first time?
    I get where ya comin' from with the bullying at school. I hope college is a fresh start for me.

    The problemis that I have pretty severe depression and an on and off anxiety disorder. The doctors Ive seen about it think I inherited it which kinda sucks, cause there's nothing I could have done to avoid it. In
    a VERY general way it really just means I see things in a different (usually worse) light than everyone else. Which is why I'm really impressed by Esne and you because even if I wanted to the depression wouldn't let me do anything similar. I'm going to stop now cause otherwise I'll go into a self pity fest which is never good and happens all too often.
    Just want to say again that y'all are awesome and what you're doing is amazing b:victory b:cute
    Thanks Aryth :) My boyfriend has something similar, they out him on something called beta-blockers 'n' he's doing a lot better now. I hope you can work stuffs out. Actually, have you tried drawing? I draw when I feel depressed, it's a nice reliever.

    Wow, you're really brave and I admire your spirit :D
    Back in my home country Finland I had an aspie friend, but she didn't talk about it, being honest, even I didn't know for a long time. It's great that you can be so open about it.

    And by the way, did I mention that I think you're pretty?

    totally agree with this

    Just stumbled over this thread.

    hmm weird??? naah no way.
    I always think, what is normal? It depends on who explains what the word mean to them - What is normal for me, might be strange or weird if you ask my neighbor, and vice versa.


    But I must say that you are a very brave person, posting on a forum where a lot of ppl can read and post... risking the possibility of flaming trolling etc.

    It isn't.
    And even if it was, what would it change? People are different. Noone is the 'perfect person'.
    We're all humans and we all got our quirks.

    Hats off to Esne and the others who embraced themselves as being that way. I can only imagine how hard it is and I got great respect for you guys :)

    Wow. Just wow. You explained it so well. You're a brave woman, that's for sure. I also think your art is awesome, your creativity knows no bounds, apparently. I envy your ability to hyper focus. Much love to you and keep your head up.

    A very heartfelt video... I know exactly what you feel, as my brother suffers from autism, too. Never mind what the people around you say, just be yourself and remember there are always people who will love and support you. I sincerely wish you the best of luck and happiness in your life, feel better soon!

    Your accent is nice but you're kind of hard to understand. (sometimes) Probably just me though, cuz I rarely talk or listen to people with that accent.

    hell ya'll got me wondering now if the idiot in the military diagnosed me correctly since i behave somewhat similarly and have alot of the same personality traits expressed. they diagnosed sociopathic tendencies, and said that i use strategy as a tool to get my way... i was always just interested in it i thought.

    I support people who serve for their country :) Maybe you could ask for a rediagnosis somewhere? idk how though :/ Autism can be misdiagnosed, I may have said before, but I got accidently diagnosed with ADHD when I was younger.
