| Thanks for the reply. I’m great at jumping to conclusions so your reply has helped me to think more reasonably about my situation. I guess it's possible that the members may not be active due to the very small member base & diagnosed autistic guys outnumbering autistic women. The ratio of some a... |

| After going through a pretty messy breakup a few months ago, I’ve finally decided that I’m ready to find love again. It’s not going well so far. One of my main concerns is people running for the hills the second they discover I’m autistic, so I decided to try Hiki (dating and friendship app for auti... |

| As I’m sure you all know, meeting new people can be really daunting. Socialising with people just does not come naturally to me. At all. One thing in particular I struggle with is deciding whether or not to tell people that I’m autistic. On one hand, I’m scared that people will treat me differently ... |

| I haven't used 8.1 in a loooong time (I upgraded to 10 the second it released back in...2015 I believe?) but I don't remember liking it very much. That said, it's always sad to see an OS being sunset. |

| No; autism is a lifelong condition. People might appear "less" or "more" autistic over time, but I think that comes down to the person's circumstances rather than the person themselves. For example, someone might become more visibly autistic after learning to come to terms with t... |

| I feel you. Socialising has never came naturally to me, so as a kid I was made to learn social skills. That’s what they called it, but it was more like being taught how to act “normal” rather than make genuine connections. I remember being told stuff like “They don’t want to play with you because yo... |

| Programming is one of my main hobbies. I know a few languages, but the ones I’d say I’m the most skilled in are Python, Java and C#. I have a love-hate relationship with the C family though. I want to become better at them (especially C# and C++ since these are some of the most commonly used languag... |

I have played all the Yakuza games via Steam/on the PC. Is that a console game? I haven't come across that one. Yeah it was released fo... |

| Sonic Frontiers. I’ve been having a whale of a time with it, mainly because of my love of exploration in games; I’m the type to spend hours searching through every nook and cranny. I also have phases where I suddenly remember I have a Game Pass subscription and play through a random game on there. T... |

| I don't think it means important as in famous or rich or being a CEO. It means everyone wants to feel important to someone else. My nephew is 6 months old. He hasn't accomplished much, but he is very important to our family. This is how I interpeted it too. I think most people want to feel valued a... |
