greetings and salutations. i am really homesick. i lived my entire life in newport, rhode island, and next thing i know. my mother drags us all down to amarillo, texas. i lived there for five years, spent one homeless, and then moved up to laverne, oklahoma with my grandfather and have been living here for three months. even though it has been roughly six years, i have never been able to adjust. i lived near the ocean for 16 years, and next thing i know, i am dragged to these completely land locked states. laverne is nice, but its 40 miles to the nearest wal-mart . i really miss the ocean, the cry of the seagulls, and the smell of the fresh ocean spray. idream about it some times. im just standing there, watching the waves come in and wash out. i would love to go back, but have autism and cannot really live on my own. i am a rare case, so im a little smarter than most autistic people, but not by a terrible lot. i sometimes have trouble understanding other peoples feelings. i really do appriciate everything my grand parents are doing for me, but im so homesick. :'( i really apriciate you guys listining, and would love to hear some replies. its nice to vent some times, its like lifting a great weight off my chest. long days and pleasant nights.

I have Autism as well, a very mild version of it although when I was younger it was quiet terrible.
Well maybe you can talk to your grandparents about visiting Newport for holidays or such, being sure to express how you truely miss your hometown and it troubles you so.

Btw, Autism doesn't mean your not smart. In means your very smart and intelligent, but you have to be able to find your own way in expressing it.

Heh... since you brought the topic up, not too long ago I experienced home-sickness that was triggered by scent/taste. I went to a road-house to eat a steak dinner and while waiting, they brought out yeast-rolls. I bit into one and that triggered it since I used to eat them quite often when I was home.

yeah, i know what you mean. i had some pretty good salt water taffy that reminded me of home.
