| When people throw around medical terminology what happens is that the words get misused. It is not that the popular usage is completly wrong what tends to happen is that certain traits are exagerated and only part of the condition is well known. It is called Aspergers SYNDROME for a reason. Accordi... |

| Everybody is not autistic but most if not everybody has one or several autistic traits. If you have most of the traits and a number of these traits to a greater degree than most you are likely autistic. I see. I pointed out that I know not everyone is autistic but it also makes no sense to me that ... |

| Full disclosure, I don't know if I have Aspergers or autism. I've hung around here, I've done some research, it seems likely that I have it, but I really don't want to say for sure until I get an actual diagnosis. I know there are some people who diagnose themselves with Aspergers to excuse bad beha... |

| It blows my mind that the counselor would say that your wife is "the stable one" and that her remaining that way should mean your son won't have any problems. I mean...wow! Maybe he said this to her when you weren't in the session with her, but I can really only imagine that being weaponiz... |

| Most gay men, in my experience, don't "look" gay. There is a "gay accent," with a lisp and all that. But this is less common than in previous days. A coworker told me I have "gay accent" even though I'm not gay. I break stereotypes, I guess. EDIT: I think the idea of m... |

I've essentially said that my life would be easier if I had A instead of B where most people consider A to be worse than B, however in my case, A and B are nearly identical. Okay, I gu... |

| At the sake of sounding really stupid, what does demisexual mean? Or aromantic? Does that mean like you don't want to be in love with someone? Demisexual means your more attracted to someone emotionally than physically. You're aroused by the fact that you have an emotional connection with this pers... |

| Also, I often think it's the NTs that lack empathy. (Eg when they could empathise with the hell of sensory overload, they might try to accommodate instead of commenting that I'm a sensitive sissy). But my ideas on their lack of empathy belong in another thread, I believe. I would say it is the oppo... |

| The whole thing is still really taboo in the US. Personally, I think it's really stupid. I watched a movie recently called Crazy Rich Asians (which is a really good movie, by the way) that kind of indulged in this kind of shaming by pointing out one of the characters wasn't wearing a bra with her dr... |

| For what it's worth, you were just honest about how you felt and he didn't reply to your text message. That's honestly way more common to warrant any kind of embarrassment, but I also understand that this was something that took you months to prepare for and it wasn't the result you wanted.

| Well, I was a kid and a developing teenager during the 2000s. I remember the revival of some 80s franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones and some remakes, I think...which was basically cemented in the 2010s where almost every movie is a remake of an 80s movie like Ghost Busters, Robocop, Fright ... |
