| Last year I got an Amazon gift-card from a class action zoom lawsuit. I had received a similar type of email as Kitty the year before. A quick google search confirmed there was a lawsuit going on & the email was potentially legit. I didn't have to provide a lot of personal info, mostly info that... |

| :evil: My friend has been diagnosed with ADHD. She thinks she’s also on the autism spectrum but has learned to mask so well that it’s very unlikely she would get a diagnosis now. Is that true? Surely if you are autistic then it can be picked up at any age, even if it presents itself differently. A l... |

| I'll give some examples of when being a perfectionist can be good or bad in the workplace from my own working experience. My first job was dish-washing & I was praised a bit because the dishes I washed were almost always perfectly cleaned. Whereas some other dish-washers were not quite as detail... |

| Meltdowns for folks on the spectrum are psychological and physiological reactions to stressors/stimuli; you're not throwing tantrums. Understanding and parsing through what leads up to your meltdowns can help you avoid or least control when they occur more consistently. If your parents have "s... |

| To the opposite sex? Yes, an expensive car is a symbol and recognition that you may be a good provider. Which is totally valid. It could also be a sign that the person has a cr@p ton of debt or that they spend most all their money on their car. I do have a follow up question. Is the absence of a mo... |

| Some people associate cars with a sign of success or being fun or being tough or mainly or whatever but I don't think like that. However I do associate taking mufflers off of motorcycles or mussel cars as being a huge d!ck who intentionally wants to annoy others. I also associate coal rolling as bei... |

I'm sorry you had to deal with the slum lord place but I'm very glad you stood your ground & were able to get them to just let you out the lease with all your money back. Still not worth the hassle... |

Women (both NT and autistic) don’t want to date an ugly and autistic man. Unfortunately that’s what I am. There are some exceptions & my current girlfriend is one... |
