A dominionist is similar to a liberal who sees mankind evolving to a more noble state. There is nothing to support such a view other than the wish it were true. Perhaps not "more noble," but indeed less violent. At least in the West, we've become much less violent over the past 800 years ... |

Came across an interesting video about How Imaginary Numbers Were Invented , plus some rather astonishing info about what life was like for mathematicians in Renaissance Italy. Also, some video commentary on the above video by a physicist: Physicist reviews Veritasium - How the Imaginary numbers wer... |

There's a website called Succeed Socially that you might find helpful. But I would also suggest trying to determine the underlying root of your conversational difficulties. For a lot of us, our conversational difficulties boil down to attention issues. For example, many of us have greater-than-norma... |

Apparently there are a few people here who found relationships with other people here on WP. It would be worthwhile to know how these people went about it. I asked about this in the separate thread To those who met partners on WP or other autistic forums in the "Love and Dating" section. B... |

I remember my father telling me "You are four years old" -- and I remember knowing, at that time, the meanings of the words "You," "are," and "four," but NOT the meaning of "years" or "old." I DON'T remember any of the following: 1) Anythin... |

I am ALWAYS appalled when I hear people on the Spectrum define Autism or people who are LGBTQ define their sexual orientation as "the only thing they have." As if they have no interests or independent thoughts. Lack of interest in a prospective partner's "interests or independent tho... |

I met both my exes & current girlfriend on online forums, the latter two were this one. I'd appreciate it very much if you could tell us more here in this thread about how you found two of your partners here on WP. All 3 relationships were long distance until I moved in with my current girlfrie... |

I would like a world with aLOT more gender equality where gender roles & expectations are a lot more mild or don't really exist. Also people would find things attractive that are outside of the typical gender roles. A woman could be very attractive if she pays very little attention to her appea... |

There are at least a few people on Wrong Planet who have said they met their partners here on WP, or in other autistic community forums. If you are such a person: Perhaps you could help other people here by sharing, in as much specific detail as you feel comfortable sharing, exactly how you went abo... |

I'd recommend creating a Facebook account specifically for the intention of meeting women online. Problem: Facebook has a "real names" policy, which they intermittently and unpredictably enforce by occasionally, suddenly requiring people to upload a scan of their photo ID. Of course, as y... |

But I literally have been seeing the lack of romantic attraction of others towards me as a sign of having less worth. I even saw myself as a lower human like how incels see themselves. This realisation has been kind of horrifying. Here in the West at least, women have traditionally been expected to... |

WP is not a dating site and I never have or intend in the future to use it as such. Indeed WP should not be used as a dating site. It's not a good idea to participate here for the sole or primary purpose of finding a partner. However, for some people here at least, I think it might behoove them to ... |

Recently, I've encouraged a few men here to consider the possibility of finding a girlfriend here on Wrong Planet. If one is going to do that, however, there are a lot of potential pitfalls. And it should be noted that some women/AFABs strongly reject the idea of looking for partners in the autistic... |

That's an interesting article. Did she say what type of groups she went to? It seems more like a low functioning type. The author didn't specify, but it's my impression that the autistic men in question were somewhere between the extremes of "high functioning" and "low functioning.&q... |
