That autistic women always have a lot easier lives than autistic men. Yes, some of us might have easier lives than some men, but I'm sure some men have it easier than some women, too. Fortunately, this forum is the only place I've heard this stereotype in, but it really is annoying... I stopped usi...

You actually seem to be a person with high intellectual ability. And I believe you have lots of "class," too. You seem like you were raised well. You make sure everybody who contributed to the thread is validated. Which is something which, actually, is "social." You definitely h...

Alas, an Antipodean I am not... Although it does strike me that this is all a matter of perspective :D You're Antipodean to me in my locus ;) I am honored, thank you :heart: OT, talking to myself aloud: Certified idiot right here. I only found out today Antipodean means the other side of the world ...

Just heard about this on the news. Awful.

My sympathies and heart go out to all involved.

Personality wins every time. A guy can be drop dead gorgeous and have a massive dong which he knows how to use, but if he's a horrible person then all his physical assets (or should that be ass ets, because sure I love me a nice pair of buns) count for nothing. I've found myself attracted to guys wh...

I very recently started seeing an ASD-specific talk therapist who, although undiagnosed, claims (and appears) to be on the spectrum himself. I actually find him very refreshing; he isn't condescending, he doesn't push me to discuss things I'm uncomfortable with, and he doesn't try to minimize my iss...

Echoing @dragonsanddemons' sentiment: that we're all apparently tech whizzes, or work in some form of finance. Oh, and that we all look far younger than our years. To be fair, some of these stereotypes exist for a reason; I say that as the daughter of an autistic father who was indeed an accountant,...

In response to the OP, Trump is an absolute classic example of narcissitic personality disorder. Although I'm not a qualified psychoanalyist, I've known several people with NPD and have done a fair amount of research into the disorder. You couldn't get a more classic case of NPD than Trump. Now, it'...

Agnwannooo - I did not become content with who I am overnight. It was many decades of struggle with periods of calm and stability in between. I did not mean for it to sound like it was easy. There is also no question that I was gifted with many things that made my "chances" better: white,...

Not sure how to jump in here, but I got to try. I feel this way for my daughter. She attends an adult aspie night once a month with games and pizza. There are about 4 females and about 12 males. My daughter is 21 next month. All of the attendees are so social, into gaming, film, trivia and gaming c...

Ive never met the type of ASD women you describe, anyone I have encountered has struggled. I think women who have a good support network may have a better chance at succeeding, to me this is an environment a person with ASD is born into. Quite possibly. Not all, but a lot of the women I've met seem...

Many thanks for all the responses. I'm a bit tied up right now, but (if anyone is waiting on an individual response?) I'll be back in a bit to reply properly.

Thank you everyone for the replies. Sorry I can't respond to you all individially. ASPartOfMe , thanks so much for that link. I'd heard the terms "autistic regression" and "burnout" but hadn't properly researched them; the link you provided clarifies what they are and that burno...

Yes, I know what you're talking about, agwhanooo, and I'm reasonably certain (though never completely) that I had already begun noticing it before my formal diagnosis a couple of years ago. Firstly, as you mentioned, I seem to have more difficulty with social interactions, particularly when I'm wit...
