Autistic pride isn't the same as pride you feel about something you've accomplished....it just means refusing to be ashamed about being autistic/having autism -- believing that your impairments don't make you less of a person.

I have a hard time understanding "pride" related to Autism. Maybe anger. I've had so much trouble all of my life connecting with people. I desire normal social interaction, to say the right thing, to be able to show my girlfriend that I love her. I've tried everything but it is impossible....

I flap my forearms front to back in unison not unlike a fist pumping while moving my hands at the wrist like I'm shaking them or moving my fingers in a rapid flutter.

Sex is the only way I've found to connect on an emotional level, it's when the mask comes off and I can experience emotions that are too complicated to express during normal interpersonal relations.

I do things all the time that in retrospect make me look like a total A-Hole...today I walked out of a hair salon because of a comment the stylist made that upset me but was probably a joke (I don't know)...my behavior was inappropriate, but I didn't realize and and I felt terrible for an hour after...

Good evening The clerk at the grocery store said that I have nice eyes, and that made my day. But I'm still here, guzzling ice cold beer and making my first post to this forum as a last resort; not even therapy is working for me. I'm almost 40 but youthful in appearance.
