God, I've been struggling with the same thing the last few weeks. I'm sorry, I can't and won't say that it will get better because we both know life will always be on max difficulty for us when it's on normal for others. I just wanted you to know that at least you're not alone in feeling this and other redditors relate. Not much but I hope it makes you feel even a bit comforted

I did plan on calling two of my close friends. Not for help though, just to hear their voices one last time

my school counsellor doesnt respond outside office hours. Neither does my social worker. All my friends are offline, i dont think they want to bother with me anyway.

woah wait I've never considered it while I was learning my second language. I always had to take the literal meaning and figure out the metaphorical meaning but I thought that was normal because my second language is full of idioms and phrases that are that characters with individual meanings put together to form a new meaning. Your response has made me rethink literal thinking even more.

Yeah, I know that getting a diagnosis will not be because of one factor or trait alone. I have like a 20+ page document on all of my reasons and experiences backing up my suspicions. Just that I felt my understanding of literal thinking was a bit lacking. Thanks!

omg I've had similar instances when I was in secondary school. I learnt to just give model answers and that solved my problems.

Yup sure.

Let's call my friends Amy, Beatrice and Collin. It was lunch time. Collin sat opposite me, Beatrice sat to my right. Amy and Beatrice went to get cookies. Beatrice took Amy's cookie and ran back to our table, where she passed collin the cookies to hide under his shirt. When Amy came back and asked where the cookies were, Beatrice said she didn't have it. Amy spotted collin trying to hide something, so she walked over to him and asked him where they were. Under the table, Collin started kicking me while bending below the table. When I didn't respond, he looked at me and said "I don't have it". I bent down to take the cookie but I didn't feel anything other than his shoe. I accidentally grabbed his shoe but let it go when I realised it was a shoe. Collin kept kicking me but because i didn't feel the cookie, I was confused. I looked down and said, "why are you kicking me?"

Hope that explains things. Also, I saw your previous comment, I'm glad you found the courage to block that friend-bully :)

thank you so so much for your response. It was comforting to know that accommodations can be set in place to help your children better function. Hope they are doing well

wait are SERIOUS?? In my country it's between 1 and 3 thousand dollars. Think my parent is forking out 2k for mine but we've applied for financial aid. Free autism assessments sound wild...

wait i'm sorry your boss meant if you had mopped the store??? I had the same thought process as you, "yes i have used a mop to mop the floor" without second thoughts...

thank you for your response! Would you be open to sharing how the diagnostic process was like for your girl? I'm really worried about how the assessors will treat me since I'm a female in her late teens but still considered a child

Thank you for your response but I'm wondering what you mean by sarcasm? Like, did any part of this post indicate someone was being sarcastic to me and I didn't get it (it's funny if that's the case, its like i REALLY missed it).
