| I'd be really interested in getting into things like this. Basically everyone knows that autism exists, but they don't usually actually know about it, and they aren't very considerate of people who are or could be autistic. I mean, I didn't even realize I was autistic until recently because of all t... |

| I can understand getting triggered....but websites have to have standards, otherwise everything will go crazy, and things won’t make sense. Soon, it won’t be a viable forum. It will become like 4Chan—a website for racist nuts. It is also essential, to function in the “real world,” to sometimes rest... |

| I read that you are very sensitive, are you aware that your posts are very direct and imply the complete opposite. I vary how I respond to different people by the way they post, if you hadn't sad you were sensitive I would have wrongly assumed you were at the other end (not horrible but direct and ... |

| I don't envy "low-functioning" autistic people----at all. There's lots of suffering and frustrating in their lives....and they frequently can't verbally communicate their feelings. It's just hard for them. This. And look at the things that you envy LFA folks for. They are the same kinda t... |

| Oh man can I relate with a former friend who's probably "less-functioning" than me. So he went to college with me, so he's clearly not THAT "low functioning" (Side note: I think there are some problems with function labels, but to an extent, I get it). When I met him, he said he ... |

| I got 119- "high alexithymic traits," which surprises me a lot, honestly. I don't think I'm quite that alexithymic, but I'm very critical of my own ability to pinpoint my emotions, and it takes me a really long time thinking them through over and over. It's part of why I obsess on things t... |

| Okay, I know a lot of people will genuinely, maybe even vehemently, disagree with this, but I absolutely believe Batman and the current Robin (Damian Wayne) are autistic. Bruce Wayne: Great a mirroring, masking, and BS-ing. I'm very similar. He's able to use scripting and his study of body language/... |

| I love BB, but neither Tina nor Gene have ASD. They are cartoon characters. As someone who's hoping to be a screenwriter, I've noticed that most (or at least a lot of) characters on sitcoms/cartoons have some autistic traits for the sake of comedy. Like how characters will very obviously lie to app... |

| I love Superman in relation to Batman and in relation to his son in the comics (Jon). Super Sons is probably one of my favorite current comics right now, and I try to pick up the Superman issues that include Jon (and definitely the ones that include Batman and/or Robin). I think I feel this way beca... |

| Sometimes, when people say “ableist” things, they don’t mean to harm; they just don’t understand certain things too well. In these instances, educating them is much more useful than getting angry. Getting angry solves nothing. And you can make a friend through providing new insights. I’ve learned q... |

| I'm so sorry your parents aren't supportive. Do you think you could still talk to a smart/good doctor about it? These could be signs! Part of the problem with being able to tell is that it comes in all shapes and sizes and manifests differently. I only recently found out I had it because I learned i... |
