Heey~

Hey everyone~

So glad to meet people like me!! I'm a 16 year old, I have trouble making friends, I can't really find anyone I can really speak to and share stuff with, someone who won't judge me, etc.

Okay, myself aside - I'm really glad to meet other people with autism too. I just hate mentioning the word for one reason - I feel negative about it. Is this normal?

I was speaking for my daughter, and I'm sure other young people are scared of being different, as well as the effect it has on them socially. I have Asperger's myself as well, so I think I'm well qualified to speak on how it feels and I don't understand why you think it was out of context.

Hello. Yes it is normal. My 12yo is in big denial and hates anything to with autism. Three of us in the family are on the spectrum. I think adolescents and teens have a lot of stuff to think about and autism can be scary or even feel embarrassing to them.
