  • I'm autistic but how many sorts are there and why and what sort am i?

    I think weird. like i think of weird things. like em,... im watching a drama, then there these extras behind right? um... i woud think of how they felt about that situation and what would happen if... and it goes on but that just might be my ADHD. i don't like loud places, don't like bright places. always in my own world, make tiny videos in my head talk to myself alot. likes to be alone. impulsive, a lot of times say things that are mean but i don't mean it in that way but don't know how to express myself. and i taste colours! yep, like if i eat a artificial flavoured pink strawberry wafer biscuit, and you didn't tell me it was a artificial flavoured pink strawberry biscuit, i would say that it tastes pink. people ask me how do you taste a colour. i dunno really.... it just does. like i can taste colours? dunno how to explain it really. i smell colours tooo! like purple perfume, and things like that. and i imagine lots of different stories. and i have a very hard time keeping up a conversation, donno how to react to different situations, like if someone gives me a gift i had to train myself to smile but i don't know how to say thank you, when i do, feels weird, dunno how to fully explain but it does and like to obsessively feel things and textures, sub on a rough surface or try to even out a wine glass in my head. so i appreciate it.

  • what really is autsim?

    I have ADHD and mild autism but really whats that? the doc says its just some "disorder" where you have trouble interacting with people, which i guess for my case is true but what is it really? Im the sort who likes to be alone dislike loud places like malls, dislike theme parks, and all the things teens (im 14) are suppose to like. :( being autistic does that mean i can't work with people cos i really want to be a paramedic!

  • What should i do? please help!?

    I have this friend, isabelle. She's generally not trustable unreliable lazy and not trustworthy so yeah more like a frenemy. Anyway, so it was assembly in school and she started jabbing her elbow in my thigh. I asked her to stop and said it hurt but she wouldnt! so yeah, naturally i yelped in pain, and i got annoyed so i shoved her a little and asked her to stop doing it! (in a more shouty manner but not exactly shouting) and so the teacher saw this, and thought WE were playing and talking and poking each other for fun! so he asked us to stand up and stand in the middle of the hall for all to see. I tried to explain the teacher that she didnt mean it on purpose (which she totally meant on purpose, but to save her some dignity, that was what i TRIED to tell) but the teacher refused to listen.So i looked at her, but she was just smiling and giggling at me! Isabelle! i hissed so many times but she was smiling away. I was so shocked at how she is, she didn't even have that little bit of guts to own up to the teacher or even say she's sorry! now i'm not talking to her she made me cry and be humiliated in front of the school and it was not even my fault! What should i do now? Should i sever all ties with her, (some of my friends suggested that, but i think thats a bit too harsh for a mistake, i;m lenient in nature:P) or should i ignore her until she says sorry,(thats what i think i should do, but i'm not sure, she's always been stupid and never appreciating my help) so yeah, i would like to ask who is in the wrong here and wether she should say sorry, or i should say sorry first and what am i gonna do? by the way, she's the type that won't learn unless its the hard way so what should i do and prevent this from ever happening?

  • Why doesn't "my" cat like me anymore?

    Well, i kinda "adopted" this little male (not fixed) cat. It's a neighbours, but my neighbours only feed it and stuff, they don't really care much about it other than that. so one day i saw it and it decided it liked me, rubbed its head and everything on me and loves my pets and would follow me around. and that continued for about 2 days. today its the third, the first time i came back from school and he was like usual just a little less affectionate, but still pretty nice, i spent about 10 mins i guess, then i headed home for lunch. the second time i came, i thought i would be nice and give him a feather toy to play with. he kinda plucked out one of the feathers and i kept it cos i didnt want him to swallow anything. and i brought my fraidy little sister too, (9) she's scared of cats, so she stood in the corner. and then the cat decided to try to sniff at my sister or investigate her. that sent my sister running and left the cat pretty suprised. then it came to me and went meow and i just petted him again. then i left, i came back the third time, and this time it only closed its eye at my pets and it wouldn't even let me touch it body now, its would lick it constantly, all it did was lick most of the time i was there during the third time. and just as i was about to leave, his ears were turned back a lot. i knew it meant he was annoyed so i left him. why is he like that? why isn't he affectionate anymore? is it cos my sister startled him? oh and by the way, he has this cat friend too, they can be found together a lot. i'm not sure of the cat friend's gender though. and what should i do to fix it?

    on the second day it even showed its belly to me, which is a sign of trust right? so why is he ignoring me now?why isn't he affectionate like last time? should i ignore him for a period of time?

  • What would you do? Tuition teacher shouting at students who is unclear of questions?

    Now i have tuition and everytime i go there, there is this teacher who is always shouting and saying really negative things to her students whenever there are unclear of something or need recap on a certain thing. Like: Why don't you just get it? Its that simple in a really angry negative frustrated way. Numerous times I try to maybe stand up for her students but i just never get the courage to. I really want to because if i have had tuition teachers worse than that and i know its really painful to go through. So how can i stand up for the students and how can i do it politely but provokingly. to actually make that teacher think twice. I'm 13. the mean teacher's table is right across the room and its kinda hard and embarrassing to just shout. I really want to do something. I am considering slipping a letter under the door or putting it on her table or something. I don't know her contacts or anything though. I really want to do it cleanly.

  • Which pointe shoes would suit my type of feet?

    am an advanced dancer. been dancing en pointe for about 6-7 years. I always had my pointe shoes custom made by my uncle who was a pointe shoe maker for 20 years, he would get the materials and make them for me free of charge so i never had to buy from any shop. Now my uncle's hands are weak cos hes like 80 years old, he can't make pointe shoes for me. So, i have to get from dance shops and i haven't tried any yet, but i was wondering what sort and what brand would suit me.

    I have relatively high arches.

    I have wide feet

    I have slightly tapered toes (meaning toes almost all the same length)

    I also have short toes.

    I prefer a v shape vamp.

    So what would fit me?

She has ADHD predominantly inattentive but she does do well in school and topped 10 in her class! So yeah, shes been getting overly anxious these past few months, and this has made her a little insomnic. always wanting a hug, always having the need to feel secured. Well, that is whenever i'm home. One time, one of the relatives told her off, she went running to her room crying, and then biting herself till she bled. This breaks my heart, whats wrong?

  • How do i convince the principal?

    I'm from singapore and we have something like an army cadet junior sorta thing as a cca here. (co curricular activity, everyone has to have one) and mine is NCDCC. (national civil defence cadet corp). Its a fairly new cca in the school and we haven't entered many competitions yet because we want to get the feel of it first. On its third year of running, We have now over 30 cadets in one school, and we were hoping to win something this year. But the principal now wants to phase out/SHUT DOWN the cca! I mean,m it is doing quite well. The principal's reason was there is not enough enrolment this year and he also wants to add new sports CCAs, so he is shutting us down. Which means we're not recruiting anymore new cadets, and after the last batch has graduated from school, bye bye NCDCC. Which isn't fair! We did nothing wrong! Our teachers, commandants and everybody has tried talking him out of it but he won't listen!!! He has made up his mind, but we want to change it because it just is not fair at all!!! We have written letters, signed pettitions, almost started a riot. This cca means so much to everyone, it teaches civil defence skills, CPR, advanced first aid skills, how to use an AED, footdrill and instills discipline and important moral values! I mean what is the principal thinking right? I would love ideas to help me convince the principal to change his mind because this cca means so much to me and i love it there, no matter how tough it can be. PLEASE HELP?

  • Self harm? Help? Save me from myself.?

    I started feeling very sad at about 8 years old.But it was never really very bad. Depressed you can say. At 9, one time I had too much. I felt angry and sad and worthless i felt like screaming yet i can't. I can't bring myself too because i know the consequences. So i thought about self harm, i just started. I took a pair of scissors and started drawing on my wrist. not the bottom part because i know its dangerous. i made a vow to myself at 8 that i would never suicide no matter how bad it may be. Anyway, to be honest it was fun and releiving. When i saw blood, you might think i'm mad, but i actually felt a little happy, because i actually acheived something. At 11 i turned to biting. So much easier and much less revealing than cutting. If i bit real hard i might get a little bit of blood, but no more than a few drops, but it would always bruise and my skin very rarely shows bruises, only maybe a little but not much, it would hurt though. I'm 13 now. Yesterday, i had a fight with my parents.I bit myself again. They saw. They were angry called me phsycotic and crazy and mad and should be caged up in a zoo and people should be careful of me. so i bit again. This time they beat me and said that I am mad. I screamed and bit again. I feel so bad today. I have always been different, did things that were weird, hated by teachers, never confident but with words that were a double edged sword. Am i really mad and deserve to be caged in a zoo? I feel bad, and is it my fault? I guess it is, and i would like some comfort, and hope you won't judge.
