| Hi, anyone else get told they’re being defiant or stubborn or manipulative if they don’t understand something an NT says? I’m pretty smart and mask well so people think I’m very capable in many situations. So when I don’t understand something they think is clear and simple they can’t believe I don’t... |

We obviously do develop habits, so then why socializing better isn't one of them? Are you sayi... |

| My mum says because of a lot of anger I have towards myself I should see a therapist. She says a therapist is different from a mental health who prescribes medication and she is getting concerned when I take out my anger at myself on others by snapping and yelling. I don't know what to do about my ... |

| Hi, I’m both a nurse and I used to get the same on my inner thighs and upper back thighs. They are caused by Staph bacteria which thrive in moist dark places where the skin gets irritated from friction and the staph spreads around easily. Make sure you keep the areas clean and dry meaning if you get... |

If other people see you as different, so be it. You can also see them as different too. :( i wish people wouldn’t say such mean things... |

| I’ve been wondering a lot about how much thought they put into it, because all the social norms are learned so there must be some thought. Maybe they don’t have to try as hard because they learn all the rules naturally, more quickly and earlier. And I don’t have that same wiring so I didn’t learn th... |

| Hi there! I had a similar experience in my assesssment. I don’t know any other way to think so I thought it was normal to be super conscious and hypervigilant in every interaction and that other people were better at or quicker at doing that than I was. Nope, turns out NTs apparently just “get it” m... |

| I’m only a few days into this journey of “finding myself” after being recently diagnosed and I’ve found it very hard to not mask, it’s so second nature that I have to very consciously let it down. I’m starting to recognize now I hold myself together and numb out things that get to me (sensory wise) ... |

| I’m not sure yet, I was just recently diagnosed at 39. I felt so much relief the moment I heard the words, then some fear welled up that people would look at me differently or reject me if I shared this diagnosis (that will take some getting used to). Mostly I feel vaguely numb at the moment, which ... |

| I don’t. I’m almost 40 and gave up on my legs in high school and go through fazes with my arm pits. I know it weirds some people out but I’ve never been that concerned about that. I always argue hair is natural and that shaving just reinforces gender binaries. |
