| My mother had PND. But so did her mother, and hers was a lot more severe, and her child wasn't autistic. I have to admit to not knowing much about the causes of PND, but I imagine if you looked them up you'd find some reassurance. It's also worth remembering that post natal depression is very, very,... |

| That's a very broad question... I have other things in common with the NT people I'm friends with, be that things we're interested in, or views on life or what have you. I like them and enjoy their company. I've built up connections with people over time and it would be sad to lose that just because... |

| You come across as someone who doesn't like women very much? I think almost all women can spot this a mile off, (I know I can). I am very careful to go for guys who give the impression they genuinely enjoy the company of women; this is something I've had conversations with my friends about, and tha... |

Of course, your friend might be nothing like me, but these are a few things I really appreciate... - Good conversation a... |

| I feel like I shouldn't say too much because you've not explained why it is that you're unhappy? but being worried you might not find another relationship is a terrible reason to stay if you aren't getting on with your current girlfriend. Being in an unhappy relationship won't help with her depressi... |

| you know those awful youtube videos called, 's**t single girls say' or 's**t christians say to jews' or 's**t straight women say to gay men'? If I made one called 's**t NTs say to autistic people', this would be in it. |

I eventually solved the problems you describe by having my hair cut short and not wearing make up at all. It's taken m... |

Both therapists have dismissed it because I don't come across as someone with Asperger's. My new therapist told me about her patien... |

| I always think, when I don't get on with other autistic people, which sometimes happens, 'well, perhaps we just didn't have anything else in common.' So, perhaps these two girls just didn't feel like they had much else in common with you, and thought it might feel forced for you to spend time togeth... |
