Imagine all the people, in your home, your work, your school live together, communicate, cooperate an din general exploit the advantages of the society and the social life. But you can not. Every and single day you can not tolerate to talk to them, listen them, see them, be in the same place with them.
Every and single day you can not tolerate to talk to them, listen them, see them, be in the same place with them.
Because of all of these emotions, you have a desperately need to protect yourself, so you want to be hidden. This is what means to live in the Spectrum of Autism dissorders. You hide your self behind the door, behind your hands, behind noises you do.
