And I don’t understand other forms of communication. But I hate conflicts. |

I ran on my toes when I was a child, because I could do it faster that way.
But I walked normally as far as I can remember. |

| I wish everyone would just stop being vague and stop assuming I know what's in their mind. :x Also I wish that they could just explain or specify, or just admit they couldn't do that either. Instead of presuming I understand or unconsciously pressure me to pretend that I do understand and they don'... |

And what do you mean by:
It is irrational to criticize someone out of rejection. |

| Criticism, like rejection, is a form of denial of another -- and, human nature does not like to be denied. As in case of aspies, there are possible multiple factors why we couldn't take criticism well: It could be because of we receive emotions and how we handle it. This part had something to do wi... |

| I'm ok with criticism , as long as one who criticizes can listen to my explanations and counter arguments . What I really don't like is prejudice , which most NT's are full of . |

I don't believe that someone can grow out of autism .
However good you can be in masking , it's still unnatural and takes a lot of energy .
And the idea that her child didn't truly love her before seems a bit sick to me . |

| I taught myself eye-contact in the childhood , after observing others making it all the time . Still feels unnatural most of the time . |
