| Lately, as I ruminate on past social experiences/interactions and my own philosophical way of life, I've found myself questioning certain aspects of feminism that I've been fed as the unerring truth of the feminists gods So I thought I would ask other women their views on modern day feminism and wh... |

| I like reading articles online about autistic social skills learning. This stood out to me. Don't overestimate an acquaintance's level of interest in bringing the relationship to a higher level. As two people are doing that delicate dance of getting to know each other, one of the parties can and of... |

| Hi all! I haven't been diagnosed with ASD. At the age of about 27 I was assessed and diagnosed with Nonverbal Learning Disability and ADHD. At the age of 29 I was reassessed and ASD was actually 'ruled out' based on that evaluation, but I was 're-diagnosed' with ADHD and a learning disability (they... |

I realized that my organisation is really bad, I'm so precise about everything, but when it comes to organizin... |

| I learned by trial and mostly error that it was better to keep my mouth shut as my thoughts spoken unfiltered often offend people. So, I guess I do have a filter, but without it, I would create frequent problems when communicating with people. I think it sucks having a filter sometimes because I do... |
