| First of all, ignore all advice that says "believe in yourself" or "women will come along eventually". That is just generic BS that people say to make someone feel better. It does not change anything for that person. I suspect neurotypical people use these generic terms as code.... |

| For me, keeping up an NT lifestyle could be hell. I was attending college for a while but stopped for medical reasons. But, when I was a student, I found it difficult to go home and do the coursework because I kept having to go home and crash and get involved in a special interest to regain sanity. ... |

| I was pretty much forced to overcome my hatred of mess and clutter. In my home, I have no choice. My father likes to horde things and my brother just tosses things wherever. However, as a teenager, I was very vocal and physically expressive of my distaste for clutter and mess. In those days, my brot... |

| I'm not entirely sure why I got worn out after socializing but I suspect it could be the fact that I'm always battling with myself to appear and behave neurotypical. Whenever I'm in public and I have to engage, I find myself consciously filtering out inappropriate responses in my mind before I can s... |

| When I tell my mom that I have to think so much about what goes into a social interaction, she tells me to stop overthinking it. She must not realize that I have to process things cognitively and that it doesn't come naturally to me like it does for her. She accepts the fact that I have autism and k... |

| In the religion that I practice, genealogy work is a key component. One of the many benefits of being able to do genealogy work is to find out where we come from, what our ethnic and cultural background is, and where we get some of our unique traits.

| You know, I've often felt uncomfortable going anywhere with my parents, so it's not a problem exclusive to being nineteen years old. For me, the problem stems for a desire to have greater independence, and, well, being around my folks twenty-four-seven, even though I love them, just seems like a rem... |

I'd go with this answer because it seems the most promising and also who wouldn't be flattered with that kind of attention once in a while. |
