I'm in high school and I have autism and selective mutism. I'm working on speech but it's taking a while so I would like advice to help me be more social and advice on how to make new friends. How do you approach someone properly? How do you start a conversation? How do you keep that conversation going? I need some advice on all those things. Thank you people of this community, I appreciate it.
I have been dealing with a rather odd obsession? I don't know what to call it but first I'm gonna add a warning even though it has NSFW but I'm gonna be safe. This is gonna involve some descriptions of injuries, I don't injure myself IRL, only in my imagination and rp. So, I don't know if it's trauma or something else but I have been imagining scenarios for years now and I really want to find out why I'm imagining these scenarios so I came here for advice. I imagine scenarios where I get injured in some way like I trip and fall onto something or I get bullied or beat up and then someone helps me by providing emotional comfort and first aid...I hope that didn't sound super weird but I don't like it either so I need help/advice with this. Thanks people of Reddit.
