| Thanks for the help. Are you still dating the girl who put you through these trials? Nope - I don't exactly have a high tolerance for indirectiveness. I've been in other relationships since then for me to learn that it is not a pattern of behavior that I'm willing to accept in a relationship for my... |

| Is your girlfriend NT? This is not a behavior healthy NT women typically engage in, nor is it unique to NT or women, and I've been in a relationship in the past that was a mind-fuck because she engaged in these type of behaviors as well. It's like a never-ending test you never realized you signed up... |

| Just saw this post now. At age 27, I left a corporate job to enter graduate school in a clinical psychology PhD. Program. I ended up leaving after 3 years and got my masters after 2 years in the program. I ended up leaving because of the problems/difficulties I had, the amount of times I was trigger... |

| Alexithymic here, I experience much the same with my own bodily sensations. The best way I can describe this to health professionals is that I receive a signal from somewhere I'm not exactly sure, and I have difficulties interpreting what they might mean. I've even been to a somatic therapist (focus... |

I wish I can live near people that understand me like the people on WP, I can feel more comfortable talking on here, I can be myself, I can't talk to my family. I'm in California too, and being surrounded by people doesn't help when you cannot con... |

| Is it worth to start dating? Only you can truly make that determination. Everyone has different experiences with dating or trying to date, with various different backgrounds, wants and needs, intimacy, etc. There's not enough information to go on with what you are searching and what your intentions... |

| Try giving it as much time as you feel you need until you get to the point that you no longer feel that you need to ask the question if it is too soon to start dating. That way, you follow what feels right for you. |

| What being with older woman is like is not monolithic, and I say this as having gone out with multiple women a decade or more older than myself. Try to imagine her as what she would have been like at your age at her time, which will give you a better idea of her personality, likes, interests, etc. I... |

| This is a topic that's been on my mind before. Aside from the hurdles that autistics face in being represented in media, let alone, be even portrayed by an actual autistic person, are the social rigors involved in becoming an actor. What do I mean by that? Most actors have sociable personalities, th... |
