I've been reading some of your posts. Y...Hello. I've been reading some of your posts. Your posts make me smile. Your love for him, how he loves you so. :)<br /><br />I've not been diagnosed, but I read the symptoms of autism and I have a few. I'm so shy and awkward. That immature boys have been bullying me. I'd walk past them, and instead of hearing them admire me or tell their mates that a lot of people admire me because of my skills or looks, they'd say things like: "Hey, that girl has a lot of admirers" and the other would ask: "Really?" the other laughed and said: "No, she's autistic". And I'd hear some say: "Hey, look at that girl. She's autistic."<br /><br />It really upsets me. I'm not good at anything, I'm not sociable, I don't have many friends, and I'm not beautiful like my mother. I talk but I stutter often. I find it hard to express what I feel. Sorry for saying what I find to be depressing thoughts... It's just that your son might exprience these things, but won't be able to talk how he feels and just keep hurting himself... He's still young. Not a teenager. I had what I think was an autistic classmate when I was 8 years old. Not one of my friends back then commented about his strange behavior. They only said that he was annoying, but no one noticed he was very peculiar. He would rarely speak and always smile and mostly just do weird actions. I never saw him again after two school years. Maybe it was because we were about to go to 6th grade and a lot were realizing he was weird?<br /><br />I don't want to talk to my mom about my problems because she wouldn't understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
