| Which specific cities and/or countries do you recommend The answer is different for different people with different personalities and preferences. For example, your message mentions NYC, and I remember multiple comments about NYC from different people, and roughly half said NYC is good for meeting ... |

Any tips on making my expectations more realistic I know how to solve your problem -- I know the missing piece of info you need, but I can never tell you, because if I ever do, you'll hate me for saying it. This means ... |

| I'm posting this tip because I think it could be quite helpful for some people. I don't know whether this tip is already well-known or hardly known. One time, I lived in a city where it seemed to be impossibly difficult to get a girlfriend, even though it was a large city. Then I moved to a differen... |

| Wrong Planet's software isn't really getting any support and is "as-is". I can't complain, even if it is a bit quirky (as am I), it is free —at least for us. I thought the list of choices under "Diagnosis" would be easy to change (I presumed it's simply a matter of changing sett... |

I had that problem too. You won't believe how I solved it. I stopped being polite and respectful to people. This solved the problem (or dramatically reduced the problem). |

| Parents teaching kids from a young age is one way. Yes, but only if the parents teach their kids the truth, but most parents don't, because the truth is painful and depressing. Too often, when parents try to teach their kids NOT to be misogynistic, the opposite happens and another misogynist is cre... |

| Many people here are older and were diagnosed under the old manual and thus were diagnosed with Aspergers. Your proposal takes away that option. OK, that's a reason to keep an Aspergers option in the list. Why “have autism”? Many people dislike people first language such as “have autism” and prefer... |

| I definitely don't think a lot of women and men are bad. My dating experiences were awkward - not bad. Alright, but saying that doesn't solve the problem of misogyny at all. What I said also won't solve it, but it would help shrink misogyny, at least to some degree. You didn't like my message, but ... |

I understand and agree with you, but I'd like to point out that there also exists men who don't feel safe around women, because of the number of women who tell... |

| I think multiple things can be done to improve the situation, including: (1) Invite neurodivergent people to join WrongPlanet. At least add "Neurodivergent" to the list of choices for "Diagnosis", as I described in: https://wrongplanet.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=409340 (2) WrongP... |

| The name "WrongPlanet" was a wise choice of name because it's future-proof and cannot become incorrect in the future when the science of autism is better understood. In contrast, if the name of WrongPlanet included "Aspie" or "Aspergers", then it would've already become... |

| Yes, I think that's a good description of the difference between NT and autistic communication. It also serves as the explanation for why many NT's frequently fail to communicate successfully with other NT's, especially when discussing problems. The issue of unsuccessful communication becomes even w... |

| NT's tend to interpret it as if it means "High-functioning autistic people represented the topic of autism, therefore obviously they must have only represented their own self-interests." How exactly is this wrong? It's wrong because it's not what Alex said. Again and again, Alex says &quo... |

| To get an ATAR you need to sit 6-7 exams covering English, Math, science and other electives. ATAR is strongly correlated with IQ and his global intelligence must be in the MENSA range.

| The article says: A group of very high-functioning people were called upon to represent autism at policy tables and in the media. That comment is an example of a classic problem that many NT people suffer from. NT's and autistic people interpret the above quite differently. The NT interpretation is ... |

| It's kind of a no-brainer that his IQ is in the genius range to be the top student out of 1 million students sitting university entrance exams. No. That's an example of the "positive prejudice" I mentioned. The article says a high VCE score, and says nothing about any IQ tests. The VCE te... |
