| Firstly, what I was looking for was someone who was interesting, honest, and attractive to me. He didn't have to be super-gorgeous. I wouldn't have minded if he'd been unemployed. I got plenty of responses from nice looking guys, so that wasn't the main thing that made him stand out. The main thing... |

| I'm female and it's been the same for me. I just recently set up an online dating profile and I'm running into similar issues. Granted, it's only been a few days, but I'm almost ready to shut it down. I'm very physically attractive and I've got a lot of responses, but no actual offers to meet. ( I ... |

| How it should work: 1. You need to tell somebody something. 2. You tell them the thing. 3. They listen. 4. They repeat the thing back to you in their own words to confirm that they understand. 5. They now know the thing. What actually happens: 1. You need to tell somebody something. 2. You tell the... |

| Ratio is said to be 20:1 for male to female meaning there are 20 times as many men as women on the sites. Also I heard many of the female accounts are actually fake, made to make the dating site stand out more to men and try to improve the ratio. This can be observed with pics that were found off G... |

| I've been using various dating sites and apps for the past seven or eight years, on and off, and I'm starting to believe I've had the worst luck of anyone who's ever used these things. In all that time, I think I've had no more than TWO dates. That's an actual number. Sex? Forget it, not even close... |

| Do you think that due to the more literal, detail oriented and logic based thinking that is exhibited in most of us on the spectrum, there would be a higher rate of atheism in our community? There have been studies showing that aspies are less likely to be religious. There are differing opinions as... |

| It doesn't sound like your crying is bothering the babies, so I'd recommend just letting yourself cry if you feel like it. Trying to stop yourself from crying only makes it worse in my experience. A few other reasons you might consider are: 1. Hormones. You're at that age, and the effects of hormona... |

| Probably, because autistic people are discriminated against and a lot of people seem to believe that you can cure discrimination by simply changing the name of the discriminated-against group. |

| The prefix, neuro, means: of the nervous system. Your nervous system determines how you sense and experience the world around you. Typical means: normal or most common. So, literally, neurotypical means: having a type of nervous system that is common to the majority of humans. The type of nervous sy... |

| I agree with the OP. The reason I feel that way is because I consider autism to be a neurotype. The autistic neurotype is vulnerable to characteristic disabilities (which may or may not be present) but the disabilities don't define it. I don't understand why so many people are getting hung up on the... |

| Yes, for all the reasons you mentioned and also because I can't stand "TV voices"; they all sound the same, over-excited and strident. I don't even have TV because it's so irritating, but when it's on in other people's houses and public places, I just cringe and want to get away ASAP. |
