| Guy or gal, on the other hand, are equivalent terms - both are used to refer to adults, not children. Sure, but GIRL is more commonly used than GAL in this exact same context. I admire people who study the ENGLISH language for what it is, not those who want to forcefully redefine it. As Led Zeppeli... |

| ^ I find it somewhat demeaning and infantilizing, especially in this context. People say boyfriend, but they wouldn’t normally say: “Dating Apps/Websites - How to Target Boys with Autism.” or: “It's just that my friend is just not getting any luck with NT boys. So I'm trying (and hey, I may fail) t... |

| Since people from these groups are being investigated for unrelated matters, police are more apt to find these things during their unrelated investigations. Sadly, I think a lot of "normal" people may be guilty of these things as well, but the upstanding banker who's active in his church a... |

| I'd anticipate poor social skills as a result of autism is more likely. But if Autism is the reason for those poor social skills, then Autism is the underlying key factor. Are the NTs all acting in coordination with each other? Believing so would be an example of conspiracy theory type thinking. No... |

| Just bullet points and place holder for me (here for anyone else to peruse): As far as I can tell, no one here has ever listed what their testing involved. They simply say, "I took a series of tests," without ever really elaborating. I'm elaborating for myself and anyone else who might fin... |

| A lot of incels seem to harbour the delusion that they're hideous and blame a lot of their failings on their physical appearance and on the suitable gender having too high of standards. They overlook more obvious explanations, even if evidence is provided. Could one of those more obvious explanatio... |

| Reading the response they got was interesting - sounds very WP'ish. I can say this - most of my friends growing up had either subclinical or moderate NPD. I think the way this works is that the 'odd ones out' get shoved together by a rather simple heuristic that you're either rather effortlessly li... |

| Agreed, PDs develop as a result of abuse or trauma in most cases & it's kinda (actually very) sh***y to treat people with PDs as monsters before they ever have done anything bad. If you believe PDs are the result of abuse, then is it safe to say the abusers who caused the PDs had PDs themselves... |
