| Not by means of social media, Facebook or X or the like. One (female) bully I saw in train. Another on a station of a place where I didn't expect him. If an ex-bully sincerely apologize to me, I am open for it. I won't shut the door. I had a talk with the femaly bully. She was a young attractive wom... |

| I may have lost many symptoms, but neurologically I will always be autistic. For someone on the spectrum I am very social, extraverted and I am rarely overstimulated. I don't disike parties, crouds and noise. Understimulation is more of an issue; definitely an autistic trait. I also have problems wi... |

| I can relate to that. I am told that people on the autism spectrum have a problem with Theory of Mind (I think, that is related to this topic). I thougt, well... let's work on that. The first thing I thought of, is the Sally and Ann test. It's about absolute truth and personal truth or perception. W... |

| Mine is high, but I am not fat, on the border of healthy weight and slight overweight. When I am ill, my appetite lowers and restores after recovering. I am not a picky eater. When I am in a foreign country, I like to eat something from that country's cuisine. In Japan and South Africa I ate the mos... |

| When I was 8 years old, I tried to socialize but that had a high price. I thought: "This is not going to work for a long time. I will try again later." So, I had to wait 20 years, until the bullying was over. On the school for pupils between 12 and 18 years old, bullying got worse, I was a... |

| How attractive you are is secondary to whether they want to form a relationship with a man. It is reversed for men. Attractiveness comes first, as men aren't as limited by their wife's wealth and status. This is not much the case anymore in many places. Looks matters for both now. There is a new ph... |

And I am surprised as well. But... if the woman shows it, I am confused. She may just want attention, ... |

| Read Full Article A few days ago, Toni Braxton claimed that her son had been cured of autism. There is no way that what Braxton said is true because there is no cure for autism. While early intervention and therapy can certainly help individuals on the spectrum live productive lives, autism is a ... |

| For a long while ago I was obsessed with it. I diceded to give up, but that turned me into an incel. I didn't really hate women; it's not their fault. They are free to pick someone whom they are attracted to. To the environment (friends, colleagues and relatives) I come across as someone who isn't i... |

| I am not so sure about labelling these more subtle behaviours as always NOT being signs of interest. I think the main thing here is not to chase women, regardless if they have shown interest in you or not. Chasing women makes you look desperate and needy. I still try to find out. I get lots of such... |

| I never assumed someone was interested in me unless they made a very direct move. I'm too oblivious to notice half of these so-called 'signs of interest' anyway. I have made a move on various women after talking with them a little(in person or online) because I thought they seemed nice & perhap... |

| I had no dating experience. I never tried to date someone because I don't talk to women unless they are clearly interested in me. Quoting the bold part: This is the way. In my country (maybe in other countries) men get in trouble if they approach women. They can easily come across as a creep. The w... |

This is true. My girlfriend has a daughter, who is also married. |

A lot of attention from girls. By the way, my father told me, that I should avoid girls and women. They would be manipulating ... |

It went wrong. After that I avoid them at all costs (I was bullied since then), until it's time go home. I felt... |

And I always made sure to have my music on me to help keep me grounded. In that sense I'm definitely glad I have my own car now. I have my own car, too. Some... |
