You know, the more I think about it, it's the NT women who are the ones who take it upon themselves to uphold social norms. 95% of the time, "why can't you ______, you just don't do that/why can't you do that!" comes from an NT who is female. This is why, even as a aspie female, I never had too many female friends. I always got along with males much better (nt and spectrum, etc, except for a few non-nt females I've been friends with from time to time).


Yes, I have certainly found that the NT Social Police are nearly always female.

About a year or two before my mum told me at the age of 9.

Birth? I can't remember anything until age five but even then I could since that I wasn't like other people.

I've felt that way for as long as I remember. I thought others were strange and hard to understand and they seemed to think the same about me, so it was pretty clear to me all along that I was different somehow, even though I didn't know exactly how or why until adulthood.
