Belle,
I watched the David Gale movie with my adopted family. It was amazing. Afterwards they all just were quiet.
For me, I have ocd. I obsess on certain things. For example, when I was younger it was my camera. Then on a fishing trip my bio-father threw it in a rage on the boat, breaking it. It confused me more than baiting the lures. We were out deep sea fishing for yellow fin tuna, dolphin, and marlin. And my father was in one of his moods.
Now with being an aspi, my therapist from years ago thought it was a dual diagnosis.
As for friends, I am different. I am not into having oodles. I would rather have a few that have my back at all times. My adopted sister owns her own home building company. I can see how people try to manipulate each other to befriend her. And it isn't for friendship either. They are looking at what she can do for them. I tell her that she has to really watch who is in her life and why. Some see her for her money, and others she her for her spirit. Money is the root of all evil, & believe you me, that is the truth. I have watched that happen over repeatedly.
