Thanks, guys, for caring . I appreciate it. I know it seems very selfish of me for her to want to talk to me, but this scenario just got me thinking. This time with her, the situation is now very different, and obviously she needs a lot of time because it's bad news. But, the situation triggered me to think about past experiences though, to the past where people seemed to cut me out of their lives at will. I tried to offer as much friendship as possible, but I guess with me having an ASD, the attention I give is just weird and people would rather avoid it than receive it.

Thanks, waggiedog, I appreciate the offer .
