writes: I have been through such a whirl wind of situations and circumstances that I am not sure exactly where I should begun so I will try to explain my life story as briefly as possible. I started off with a major struggle early on in life. I was born P.D.D., or pervasive developmental disorder which is one of the milder forms of Autism. As I began engaging in sports and extra curricular activities my ability to interact with others and perform task at school improved and then it seemed as if I were on the top of the world and that no challenge would be too great for me, I even earned Black Belt statis in Koykoshin Karate, became captain of the soccer team and learned to speak fluant German but little did I know that everything was about turn for me. Once I started expressing different religious views and practicing Buddism my parents becameextremely concerned of ''mental and spiritual health'' they considered my practice of meditation and my belief reincarnation to '' really wired'' and ''un-Godly'' so they wanted to send me to a strict Christian high school in order to give me a good Christian influence but instead they unknowing forced me to enter a cult controlled by the K.K.K. and it was here that I was exposed toAmerican Southern/Confederate culture for the first time and the whole experience was hell and high water beyond imgination and due to the extremely hostile nature of the environment, I had lost all of the confidence I had once gained in just three years. To add the deepest insult to injury one of my ''best friends'' was successfully able to convince the local police that I was guilty of a serious FelonyIn which we were the only two suspects. The police then noticed my disturbed abnormal behavior and assumed that it was nervousness from guilt when in reality it was just Autisic behavior coming back from bad times at ''school ''. Having the most brutal experience that a teen canHave I started to become apathetic about life and started to heavily abuse junk food, alcohol, tabbaco and prescription drugs without my parents realizing it while I was house arrest for a year and a half for my ''BUDDY'S'' crime. It's been five years since all of this had happened but I haven't been able to recover since. The ''school'' that I attended was closed down for its radical views and I even ended up attending college but not having any of the social experiences sinceI was so gunshy of other people after that. I feel that I need to get a social life agian inorder to stay saine and competent but as you could imagine I have serious trust issues with others and whenever I am willing to open up a little I have trouble answering basic questions about life because I haven't been able to have a life for a while!! Could you guys, Y'all give me advice on how to dig myself out of this bottomless pitfall that has been created for me? I just moved half the country away from my home state so hopefully that should help.
