| Well, even if they are patronising, that's okay. I know these people well enough to know that they probably aren't being mean, and they are probably doing it with good intention. I hang out more with people who don't do any patronisation anyway. Two of the ones who "patronise" are in an o... |

| I was diagnosed a few months ago, I'm only 19 but it feels like I've wasted so much time not understanding myself. But I agree with you, dwelling is useless, depressing and detrimental to the time you DO have to move forward. I read Aspergirls too! There were some things I found frustrating, but mos... |

Yeah I agree, I feel like it is something I might say to someone, but I am not sure most NTs would. |

I'm confused. Is this a troll? Do you mean you have a 140+ IQ?
If not, I'm dumb too. Would be great if every autistic person was a savant, but some of us are just useless pieces of s*** |

 This post made me sad. I had no idea people (if only a select few) felt this way. I always just assumed that people didn't think autistic women exist, or see them as a rare unicorn type. It upsets me when I remember people think about me outside of my control |

| I'm pretty sure Tinder etiquette dictates that you can talk / sleep with anyone you want unless you have otherwise defined the relationship. And don't feel bad about her suddenly stopping talking to you. I hear it's pretty standard for everyone on Tinder. Ghosting, I think the word is. |

Not great with slang but I think this is where the word SALTY would apply.
She's obviously bitter about some failed relationship between her and an Aspie. Guess it's easier to blame the diagnosis than accept that maybe she was part of the reason the relationship faltered. |

| Yeah, man, I get what you mean. I think it's a part of late diagnosis. You're grown up enough to know who you are and it doesn't feel natural to get some tacky new label. I was f***ing furious when my therapist suggested AS. This could be quite upsetting for some users to read, and I'm sorry for tha... |

Yes, I would rather not name the specifics (paranoid that people will find me) but my mum gets me a lime-flavoured water and a kind of chewy candy when I am stressed, and always before an exams.

I feel like that should wash out the yucky emotions for both of you. (Not to be condescending by using the word yucky but its the best word to ... |

| I constantly have the urge to throw things when I'm in meltdown. Over the years I've taught myself not to because afterwards I am embarrassed to clean it up. Embarrassed of what I did. My alternate methods have been much more inward, and probably a lot less advisable, but at least no-one can laugh a... |

| There is enough hypocrisy floating around from both sides and all the sides. Exactly. Especially 'both sides' who seem so caught up in being liberal or conservative that they forget that the other 'side' has valid points too. Wondering if this is a result of America's two-party political system, or... |
