No one ever responds to anyones posts on this website, What's the deal with that? Are people on the Autism Spectrum really just that self absorbed?
That's actually not true. Maybe not always but people do respond, sometimes by quoting, sometimes without quoting.
I don't think it's all down to self-absorption, which is something that isn't exclusive to any one group of people, there are people who are like that regardless of details such as race, gender, sexuality, NT/MHC etc.
Maybe they don't know how to respond, or don't want to risk offending, or maybe they just aren't comfortable socialising or conversing with any specific person on here, but are fine with posting in general.
Bit unfair to judge them as being self absorbed when you don't know why they don't respond to other's posts.
Also, if someone writes a post that is obviously attention seeking, for the sake of that, they are best ignoring. That's a surer sign of self absorption (if it's not a cry for help, that is). << That wasn't a reference to your post btw, just in general
Btw, sorry for tl;dr, and, even self absorbed people can read and respond to other's posts. I responded to yours
