| We seem to be more likely to experience traumatic events. The stats for experiencing sexual abuse are really high among the autistic population. I bet it’d be similar with other abusive situations since we may struggle to recognize red flags and abusers often target people who seem vulnerable. http... |

| I have ASD and PTSD. It’s still a struggle for me. I just wanted to say that you aren’t alone here. I was in CBT for a long time but didn’t find it that helpful. I’m fully aware of when my thoughts/thought patterns are irrational, but that knowledge does not help with my PTSD symptoms although it’s... |

| I live in a space that is within an hours drive of the path of totality. I have already heard news stories and such and when I first heard about it I was excited, I wanted to go somewhere to watch. But after seeing how much attention it's getting everywhere, and just with the state of the world and ... |

| Your example isn’t applicable in this context because, once again, male doctors don’t rely on subjective experience and personal biases when it comes to treating their female patients. In any event, people have the freedom to hold whatever opinions they like about demographics they don’t belong to,... |

| I have only had one job since getting my diagnosis, so my experience is somewhat limited. But I will say that at that job, I did disclose to my employer and my coworkers. I was open about being autistic. It was a wfh position and all my interaction with coworkers essentially was via chat (95%+). In ... |

| Not very well, but not for lack of trying. Can't tell you the amount of times a relationship went sour, fast. When I ask what I've done and how I can make it better, it's mostly been met with passive aggressiveness bordering on vehemence. They really seem to think I'm playing some kind of mindgame ... |

| Hello! Anyone else have the dual diagnoses of PTSD and ASD? If so, have you found ways to help reduce the PTSD symptoms? I have considered EMDR and heard wonderful things, but after exploring the idea with my therapist I worry it would not be as effective for me, because of the way my brain works. S... |

I keep looking at how objectively terrible everything in the world is right now and wondering how other people are coping.
Seeking out uplifting news and stories DOES help. Even if only momentarily. |

| Maga doesn't need Trump. We see similar things in society. LaVeyan Satanism doesn't believe in Satan. They view Satan as a useful archetype to represent their doctrine. Yet, as atheists, they're the biggest sect of modern Satanism. They get along fine without him. Some Christians like to put up sig... |
