| Hi all. Can someone help explain this behavior to me? Do you think it's normal behavior for a woman or would this fall into ASD behavior? It seemed a little over the top to me. I believe her to be on spectrum somewhere. She displays a lot of behaviors that match. Yesterday all was going well with my... |

| Hello forum. So just had a slight incident with my GF. As I've posted before she is clearly on the spectrum (my diagnosis. hundreds of signs) and I am NT. She is great and we get along well. Every once and awhile she does something that makes no sense, is odd, makes me feel bad, or arouses my suspic... |

| If it's true she's on the spectrum, it's unlikely she would have considered that you seeing her do that would upset you. Thank you. That post was really helpful. It makes a lot of sense. Just for my own understanding, are you saying it's likely she didn't understand how sliding over next to him mig... |

| So my guy cousin invited me to his son's hockey game last Thursday. I took my GF with as I though his wife would be there. My GF has met him and talked to him a few times before. I suspect my GF has ASD and does some odd things from time to time that I chalk up to the ASD. I'm NT. So we get to the r... |

| So I posted before that my GF displays a lot of ASD traits that are a challenge for me being NT. I'm learning a lot, especially about "masking". But one thing I don't understand is this: If she masks towards me especially at the beginning meaning she knows she has to do certain behaviors t... |

| Sorry, I'm too tired to read through all the comments, but what you describe is her letting her mask down and allowing you to see the real her because she's now comfortable enough with you to trust you with her true self. That's an honour in autism circles. Now, you may feel cheated, thinking she w... |

| HI Jtab, Sorry to hear about your struggles. I'm NT and I can tell you that dating is not easy for anyone. I have NT friends that struggle with finding a date or a woman to get into a relationship with. A lot of factors have to come together for two people to be compatible. Unfortunately, it all sta... |
