Also, for the record, a lot of my ramblings about women applied to young NT women only. I didn't mean to offend Aspie women, or older mature NT women on this board.
I've never understood how the "but you're
different from the rest of the people I've been discriminating" comment is supposed to be comforting. On the surface it sounds like a compliment and I know I'm expected to be grateful that I indeed have met so-and-so's approval when he/she generally is hard to please. But every time a statement like that is thrown in my face (be it regarding my sex, race, or political or religious beliefs), I find myself thinking about what an as*hole whoever-made-that-comment is.
I don't know why that is, though.
