| A man is going to look at a nice looking women when she walks by. (and vice versa, women look when a good looking man walks by). It's nature.

I did not partake in the poll. I don't think it applies to me. I am an autistic and an engineer. |

Abuse can lead to PTSD and anxiety disorders. Anxiety and PTSD are also commonly co-morbid with autism.
So they may have some aspects on the exterior that look the same, but they are different at the core. |

I am married. So obviously I socially figured that out.
But when it comes to manking friends of the same gender, I have never figured that out. I am 41 and have never had a friend of the same gender. The whole thing just confuses me. I'd like one. |

It looks like a math equation to me.
Wrong planet minus autism equals good.
Given this is a website for autistic people, it makes no sense to me. |

| My psychologist diagnosed me with both Asperger's AND PDD-NOS. What is the difference? They seem the same to me, but then again, I don't really know...what's the difference? I'm just wondering.
