Well, maybe friend is a big word, but we were living abroad at that time and they were our neighbours of the same nationality.

I heard a lot of this stuff in the past. My mother's brother and my family in general, were ostracizing me because I didn't like other kids and didn't want to play with that brother's son, instead I felt very overwhelmed and angry because he was touching and moving all of my things in the room and causing general chaos. I was told to be raised badly, was told that I'm unkind and bad since a very early age. My family is very disfunctional (http://forums.psychcentral.com/survi...nal-abuse.html) and I was never comforted or anything like that, even when I was severly depressed as a kid or heavily bullied (for everything, the way I walk, talk, look, for my nationality, sexuality and hundreds of other things), no one has ever helped me to recognize my possible autistic traits. My grandfather seems very autistic and his life is devoted to his obsessions, my father also has some traits (and ADD, too), so there were times that I thought it's all normal (but I'm kinda happy my dad is this way, even if he doesn't do anything about it, we still can laugh about some weird behaviours and I don't feel like the only weirdo here). In the middle school, I was often tricked because of my naivety, people in the corridors were sometimes calling me "A robocop" for my gait. Sometimes someone would ask me if I have sth wrong with my leg because "I'm walking like that Bryan", even though I haven't.
I'm a 21 year old attractive woman right now and I still hear this stuff. "She's mean, it's her character" "You're so stiff". Also, I must look pretty overwhelmed. I had a situation at a club, where some woman would approach me and grab my hands (I think she was a bit high) and tell me I'm beautiful but I'm really sick and I got stress (It was so weird!). I suspect I may have dispraxia.
