Easily. I'm a push-over and not very assertive because of my social anxiety.

I have to be honest I didnt know much about austicm spectrum disorders until recently, so I dont know how many autistic, aspergers people I have met. However, my husband is aspergers and he is the nicest person youll meet. He is genuinely kind hearted and sweet. Others are much more harmful, he wouldnt hurt a fly.

It depends on where I am. Oddly enough, the only place I don't feel safe is the town I live in.
Other places I relax and feel fine.

Maybe when I was younger, but I've learned to speak up for myself when needed.

I feel that way most of the time. I'm constantly looking out for my safety. I don't go out unless I go to my clubhouse or unless I have to. The only other times that I go out, is when my friends are with me. I've felt threatened by the NT teens in my area since I was in high school. The kids in my area are not nice kids.

Definitly. I've only turned violent in the past when i feld threatened or to defend myself, but i know many people who are violent towards others just because they can. You can't trust people who are like that, and there are many of them.

Only certain people. I just don't trust them and I know to stay away from them.

I am 41 now and am a big guy with lots or physical training and such to defend and protect. Military family. Inside my mind I am pissing my pants wach day i walk out the door. I am a father, son, husband and such. great job, I realized that i have built a very well trained machine on the outside to protect the warm soul inside that is very kind. I can take physical pain, I would rather not, buy mental pain for me has lasted an eternity. I recenty found this site and I know each and everyone of you is unique:) ps, if you need something intimidated or shaken up a litte, i am am scared but very couragous. big difference. I know quite of few of my new community in the seattle area. I ocd's when I figured it out and have been on a rip meeting our folks in person. first post ,kinda odd i am sure but i really mean well. I run a recess fitness program at my kids kindergarten through 6 grade everyday. No one is bullied on the playground because they are too busy having fun.. I hpe someone was kind to each of you today, if you did not feel it, i am sending a big thank you for being you. I am new to computers as well, so sorry if this is offensive or whatever. OOHRAA

No, I sometimes find other people annoying and too noisy but not threatening. Ive always been immune to physical threat. Like I don't process it. Maybe I find them emotionally threatening at times.
