| I never told a single woman with whom I had a relationship, situationship, or even a date that I had autism. That's because I wasn't diagnosed until four years into my second marriage. You can make a relationship without disclosing your autism if you do not grieve over how you are acting and whether... |

Are you autistic, or are you not?
I guess my question to you is, why do you care? Are you asking for a friend? |

| I live in county of one million people. There is one (1) support group for autistic adults. I know because I checked everywhere, and I am friends and acquaintances with experienced autism services providers who would know if there is one. I think a lot has to do with the fact that autistic people ge... |

| If you really want to be a writer, and if you can accept a bit of constructive well-intentioned criticism, you have to start writing with the active voice instead of the passive voice which permeates your posts. For instance, scrub the phrase "seem to think" from your vocabulary. |

| You are 40. You are not old. You can do it. I lost everything I had at age 50. I was able to pick myself and rebuild my life, in no small part because I didn't think I was too old to give up. I could have thrown in the towel and limped through life -- I didn't catch a real break until I was 53 -- bu... |

| I personally seem to think why can't people carry on with doing something until they really can't physically do it anymore. Obviously I do understand for example a 60 year old probably can't become a boxer because of the age but I mean it's in the music industry, film industry etc surely they shoul... |

| My professional view is that Microsoft Teams is vastly inferior to Zoom. Perhaps Teams does the job for internal remote meetings within the company, but anytime I get a Microsoft Teams invite, be it from my clients or otherwise, I'm bummed. My autistic view is that Teams AND Zoom are difficult to de... |

| At my wife's request, I am seeing her trusted homeopath tomorrow for a consultation regarding my autism. I am quite skeptical. I am fairly certain that she (the homeopath) believes vaccinations may cause or contribute to autism. For my wife's sake, I have agreed to be open minded. Does anyone have a... |

| I know "can" isn't the right word, but some people ask "can you" because it gives a softer out if the answer is no. Can you? ----- No, I can't (because I'm busy, because I don't know how, etc.) Will you / Would you? ----- No, I won't (This sounds much more harsh.) I think the OP... |
