  • hi susie,

    how do you get friends to stick by you?? mine all find out im autistic and we kind of go our seperate ways.... i dont do social situations as i find these very intimidating, i also find talking to females very awkward as i dont know what to say or how to say it... i find body language officially from outer space... and facial expressions might as well not exsist!! id love to have just one friend who would like to be my genuine friend! :)

    your so lucky to have found a few that truely want your friendship, i hope you continue to be friends... thank you for taking the time to reply!! :)
