| It took problems at work to make me question, I guess, my mental situation or mental health. Can people relate? Any ideas as to how I should embrace this new world? Thanks! I understand completely, I went through many of the same things myself. For the longest time I just thought everybody went thr... |

| If you can find someone with a little kink, maybe try a blindfold. Pretend you are imaging them. Might try an inebriant but taking enough of anything to smooth out your anxiety but still remain functional might be a bit tricky. Though if it is performance anxiety, maybe if you just get through it on... |

| Depends on the context. But generally it is meant to indicate that whatever your positive qualities, because you are not bringing attention to them or your actions, others do not notice them and you don't get the recognition or rewards you may deserve. In neurotypical eyes you need to be noticed and... |

| Would it be unusual to have multiple sex partners at once? That would probably fall out of the range of normal, but not by that much. There's a reason orgy is in the dictionary. People have been having fun all sorts of way as long as there have been people. In general as long as you're not hurting ... |

| Was wondering if any of you have had experiences with psychedelics and how it effected your traits. I've tried a few, but mushrooms made me feel more NT in a sense that I could see how empathy existed and such. I still thought logically, but I felt a sense of another way of thinking. For a while wh... |

| I want to say experiment, put yourself out there, play the field. There is a lot to be gained from having varied sexual experiences like getting to know yourself and your likes and dislikes, but it has to be said sex is better when you are emotionally involved with the other person. I personally hav... |

I wouldn't worry about it, whoever you talked to sounds like a prude, I had more than that in by sixteen. But I'm a guy, so double standards. |

| Have fun, be responsible. If you haven't smoked before or its been a while be a little cautious, weed today can be very strong, but you can ask the counter person to steer you towards something you'd like. Oh and be careful with edibles. A lot of people don't realize how strong those chocolate bars ... |

| Kind of, but my reasons aren't normal. I'm aromantic so I don't develop romantic feelings towards people, not even sexual partners, during my teens I had a lot of partners but without any emotional involvement by my early 20s I started to feel like I was just using someone else's body to masturbate ... |

| You also have to remember that wen Asperger was studying and writing about autistics they were facing the threat of a gas chamber if the Nazi's thought that they were lesser beings and not the little professors Asperger often played them up to be. Nazi's were all about the eugenics movement, with id... |

| I don't think men with autism are more 'chivalrous' in our thoughts but we may be so in our actions, simply because manners are a social rule set we can use to navigate often troubling and confusing waters. Person A does this action, I as person B am supposed to take this action. If you do it enough... |
