| I don't have the time or resources to write a more cohesive response right now, but especially with regards to being a trans person, it can be very mentally debilitating. Not necessarily because of problems typical for autism, but if you ask any trans person suffering from massive dysphoria, they'd ... |

| A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience claims to have found a potential cure for autism. For those with access to the article behind the paywall, some notable quotes include (my bolding): The SYNGAP1 gene is a crucial regulator of synaptic function in neurons, and individuals with SYNGAP1 h... |

| I don't see the point in making a thread that generalizes an entire population of people for simply sharing one singular trait together. Just like autistics, there's no common personality type among allistics and all these sort of threads serve fuel a radicalization of certain beliefs and attitudes ... |

| I liked this when I read it. Any thoughts? https://hes-extraordinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/so-called-mild-autism.jpg I think there's some truth to that statement. The problem is that descriptors of subjective experience can never be meaningfully quantified, because what is a 6 for one pers... |

| Ok, so if I had to dream... But I'd like a guy bigger and taller than me which honestly isn't too difficult as long he's even remotely average in physique, and who doesn't care so much to fit according to masculine norms but still looks and acts overall masculine. So he's still cis and all that and ... |

| Most of my friends are women. I actually find it difficult to befriend most men because I just don't gender conform to masculine stereotypes well nor do I care to, so a lot of the time I feel I become that stereotype gay friend women like to be around and ask questions about what it's like to a dude... |

| I won't be able to respond to every response, but I liked the idea of trying to combine masking and current support needs into perhaps two separate or a more fluid level of diagnostic assessment. I mean, I don't think I mask as much a as I've seen other people talk about (though I think some of that... |

| I gave up to try to be likeable or to be someone I'm not a long time ago. I do adapt in social settings, that's unavoidable to some extent, but generally speaking I'm just myself. If someone doesn't like me it's their problem and not mine and most importantly, why would I want to be around someone w... |

| Title. Currently, levels are based on support needs but given the broad spectrum of skills among individuals, a high-masking person doesn't necessarily struggle less than someone who find it harder or does not want to mask. It's misleading to assume that high-masking skills directly relate to one's ... |

House building is the most creative part I enjoy. It's been a while since I played the game though and did any major builds. Sadly I lost a... |
