| Hey everyone!! ! Just something I'm super excited about that I thought the WP community would be interested in. So around 6 years ago Alex Plank, Jack Robison and I were contacted by Tectonic Theater project because they were interviewing autistic people for a play about autism they were writing. Th... |

| Honestly, I think that the vast majority of the ASD phenotype comes from a combination of sensory processing issues and monotropic thought process (as opposed to NTs, who are polytropic). The social stuff is a result of the sensory problems, monotropism, and anxiety. ASD is only thought of as a "soc... |

Unless I'm feeling overloaded and stressed... then I have to turn the volume down, and the bass down to negative 5. 2. My fingernails.

They will be triggered by something that's a real problem, but the problem itself will be very minor when compared to the enormity of my... |

Especially autistic men, who are more likely to have sensory issues with wet, slimy textures. :lol: Well, this is certainly some food for tho... |

| I think the anxiety and physical discomfort that results from a sexual person not having sex would definitely contribute to worsening autism "symptoms." It's the same reason that putting autistic kids on gluten- and casein-free diets helps to lessen autistic symptoms. It's not like food sensitivitie... |

| Because of the option saying "I don't get anxious about dating" I assume this question means dating anxiety, not generalized anxiety. Cause I'm generally anxious no matter what. I voted that I'm more anxious [about dating] when single (and I'm a woman). Mostly because that stupid cultural narrative ... |

| I'm going to agree with the anxiety suggestion. I feel much more comfortable socializing if I've had a few drinks (especially at parties or big gatherings), and I know it's because I have crippling social anxiety. But, there's better ways to overcome anxiety! And, in the short term, there are drugs ... |
