| A great article about how to choose a life partner http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/02/pick-life-partner.html Highlights: → Society rushes us.

| I am going to try and explain because I don't know you and would like to give you a benefit of the doubt: You can't go into forums outside the autistic community and expect not to be bullied when you don't conform. They weren't even being cruel, they were probably embarrassed on your behalf for maki... |

| ^ speaking of inappropriate age gaps, my first kiss was with a boy called Bobby. He was 16 and was going out with this gorgeous girl called Fanny who was 17. We were at a summer camp and I knew he liked me and I liked him so I decided I'd let him kiss me. I was 13. He broke up with Fran to go out wi... |

personally, I never feel safe to be myself around other people. Ya'll are generally self serving bunch and my own needs and safety always come second or third to whatever anyone's personal agenda may be.
Feeling safe is a luxury I've never experienced. |

| I am glad you brought this up because the practice of sparing other people's feelings is the cruelest practice I know. It's an excuse not to stand up for what you belive, an excuse not to tell the truth and and excuse not to help someone else out of a bad spot. I know I am dealing with a truly good ... |

Discrimination is never ok but it sometimes gets used in place of discernment and things get confused way too much as a re... |

| You are speaking about hierarchies and pecking order, which I am aware of very much in animal and NT human societies, but here, with a bunch of people on ASD spectrum and other neuro diverse orientations, it seems far fetched.
