| Just wanted to say that from my own experiences with Aspies (higher-functioning end of the spectrum), I'd say that these items from the "goes against" are actually "in support of diagnosis" or at least "commonly seen in Aspies": Goes Against Usually triggered by feeling... |

| Women do get boyfriends on dating sites, I want to be one of those women that get a boyfriend off there. How can saying 'hi' be the worst? Maybe I should message him, try one more time & say how are you? Has it been raining over there? I can be bad at writing to guys. I'm sure you will too if y... |

| But is it really viable to think that 80% of women are even open to casual sex? I would say not. Just throwing out another possibility that could still make the theory true: Women can think (or convince themselves that they think) it's not casual sex even when it is. They'll think (or tell themselv... |

| If you want to look less "bro", then wear less "bro" clothes. You can still put care into your clothes (making sure they're clean, wrinkle-free, etc.) without looking "bro" if they're not "bro" clothes. For example, what's wrong with a casual t-shirt and norma... |

| Given that Asperger's is no longer a separate diagnosis according to the latest DSM, it would probably be hard to find current sources to use for your first topic, so I'd go with the 2nd or 3rd. If you really wanted to do something more along the lines of the 1st idea, you could probably do somethin... |

| I think there are people who claim the title for a time that aren't really autistic, but I don't think it's due to it being the "in" thing to do. Rather, I think it's because diagnosis is such a difficult thing. Along the way, there's some misdiagnosis. And for people who have always just ... |

| If she's gotten mad at you before for texting her, then probably you're nervous because you've done something that is similar to something that has previously had a negative result, and you're worried about having another negative result. It's an instinctual response - negative reinforcement makes t... |

True narcissism is not acting like you're better than everyone else, but truly believing that you are. I have known people who were on the spectrum that are narcissists, but ... |
