I have been interested in this topic more than ten years ago and till now, I know nothing much about it. Although I did scratched the surface by googling about it, browsing through books in local bookstores, and having a niece who is autistic.
At times, I see her struggles with keeping calm and controlling her emotions... and I think to myself, it is a mental illness... L has it too? sometimes I think L is stupid, L thinks abnormally, L is crazy? at times I think, many years back, when people are less informed and exposed about autism, many would have been labelled mad, and get madder...
to be honest, aren't I autistic too? High functioning one maybe. Many times I just shoot off my mouth, am socially inept, do the wrong things... and have troubles making new friends or keeping them.
Infact, I was not that interested in making friends when I was young. And to be honest, find it difficult to make new ones when I wanted to.
I don't know what to say to make them want to talk to me more or hang out with me more. And I don't know how to pretend.
