| While social media has it's advantages, it's also given people who are otherwise passive aggressive who openly attack others. |

| Even though several self advocates are speaking up, I am finding some backlash by long term caregivers who are picking on them. Although they are frustrated, I feel like they are acting very entitled. While I hear where they are coming from, I king of feel like it is not our fault that we have lower... |

| I understand that many of us struggle with social skills, yet some of us seem prone to flinching away from any sort of social interactions that might lead to improving our social skills? Has anyone here gotten good at something without practising it? Well, why would one expect social skills to work... |

| He kept being pushy about everything (meeting, texting, coming over), etc even when you said no multiple times. Blocking him was a good call. Off topic, so it turns out that I had posted about this around the time that it happened as I did a dig. Anyway, the first weekend that I avoided him, it was... |

| I'd stay away from that guy if I were you, sounds like trouble. I have and I have since blocked him since the last time he tried to ask me out. As I said, it would have been a mistake to get into any relationship and especially since I was at bottom of everyone else's list. That's a fast track that... |

| ^ Yeah, that's annoying. It's one thing if they point something out to help you and explain things so you can learn. It's another thing to point something out then laugh. Knowing they're autistic, I assume they're doing it because it's happening to them. Like you said though, not my problem. I don'... |

| I'd stay away from that guy if I were you, sounds like trouble. I blocked his number after he attempted to use a pick up line so he could ask me out. I originally was not going to leave my last synagogue. At first I attempted to take a break by getting in contact with the leadership so I could expr... |

| Yeah, he sounds pushy. IME, someone making you uncomfortable is a good reason to stop going or to look for a different religious community. I wish I would’ve quit going instead of putting up with ongoing nonsense for a long time. Hindsight is the best sight. Thinking about it a few months later, I ... |

| Hi: Neither location was the best fit for me. When it came to feeling like an outsider, it was because I did not really have a lot in common with a lot of the people at either one. One synagogue had peers my age but most were married and had young kids. At the other one, most of them were older. The... |

Back in January, I left my synagogue which I had been attending off and on since 2011. The main reason was because this congregation was not a right fit for me. One reason is that th... |

| I know a few people who were who are autistic of neurodivergent who have carried that "Holier than thee" attitude. They also seem to think they are much higher functioning than I am. It's so bad that they have had the nerve to start assuming that I don't know what's appropriate or know the... |

First of all, most people who bully have issues with insecurity. Most insecure people have figured out to how mask those insecurities such as not bringing their prob... |

Looking back everything makes much more sense now. It sounds like you have returned feelings of envy and jealousy towards him which I comple... |
