Give it time. Now that you have something to keep an eye out for it will become clear over time as your observations stack up. For me it took 3/4 years to come to the point where i embrace and do not doubt that i am autistic. For others it might take less time or much longer. Do not expect to figure...

What people claim are positive Autism traits are just general personality traits what anyone could have, regardless of neurology. Like for example, some Autistics could use ''I am clean and tidy'' as a positive Autistic trait, but you can get NTs that are clean and tidy people too, like exceptional...

Yes it hurts but every...

most of the topics in here are spam, people in l&d spamming their poisonous attitudes and some people like the op spamming whatever helped them improve their life quality. I do not see the problem here, he is not trying to make you buy anything. Almost everything in the books is available as vid...

Same here, i was into self dev and meditation for a while when i encountered his book. What it did for me was give me a much clearer picture of some things i was discovering on my own and it sped up the process. Changed my life aswell. I try to put his teachings into practice everyday, and often lis...

"Normal" people tend to see themselves reflected in others and it amplifies their own traits. They spend time with people who make them feel better about themselves. This might be where her assumption is coming from. Spending time with others with difficulties like yourself and seeing yourself refl...

I think you might be reading too much into this. It does not sound like she implied that being around others on the spectrum is worse then normal. One time i went to a spectrum meetup thing and it was so awkward that i left within 10 minutes. I generally have more patience and understanding for peop...

I wouldn't take objections too seriously. Most people are not able to take an honest look at themselves and acknowledge shortcomings or the irony of their behavior. Yes i am generalizing here, i honestly believe the majority of people on this planet to be dysfunctional. It should be painfully obviou...

I gues you are not really happy then if you would rather be depressed. You do not really have to go back to that if you can still make progress on the positive side.

Some of the things you said make me think you still have some form of depression going on.

I can't really contribute much because of my limited experience. But what i do know is that this focus with one person you have now as a negative trait might become one of your strengths one day. When you do succeed in finding someone that reciprocates this it will be a strength not a disadvantage. ...

Those people might apear to be succesfull at first glance but you never know what trully goes on inside them.

if your positive that she does not want to take it further then cut all ties. Remove all contact info and do not see her again, unless you meet in public in which case be polite and move on asap. You are only setting yourself up for times where you drag your happiness down. You said she friend zoned...

I categorize people constantly and when i judge someone as not worthy of interacting with then this can last for years, until they prove otherwise.
Goes in the opposite direction aswell, some people are hero's to me and everyone else is somewhere in between.

If the particular guy is like a robot, then it's not promoting stereotypes to say that he is. Saying "Aspies are like robots" is promoting a stereotype. Saying that someone is promoting a stereotype when they are describing one person; on the spectrum/of a certain ethnicity/of a certain religion/wi...
