My therapist (psychiatrist) told me once I flirt with men (and him) all the time.
Not aware of that either.

Damn that height requirement! I'm almost sexy!

I wonder if this has to do with inappropriate behavior or body language which is common in people with ASDs. People do tend to misread us. But if you are with another person who isn't good at reading body language, they could be the ones misreading you and you aren't doing anything to make them misread you.

I suppose it depends how good the psychiatrist is. If a therapist told me that, I'd ask for specific examples of what they'd seen. It's more worrying than useful to just hear that I'm doing something very significant but have no way of knowing I was doing it. Did he say if he thought it was just "normal, minor and acceptable" or did he think something serious was going on that you might want to take control of?
I wish somebody would watch me with the opposite sex like that. I don't think I flirt with them - I probably have what you might call a warm, chirpy, familiar interpersonal style sometimes but none of it is reserved for women.........and it's plain jokey rather than sexual innuendo, I don't go touching them apart from the odd hug when it's socially appropriate, I've no idea what my eye contact is doing, I try to look but not for too long. But really you'd be hard pushed to know if I were talking to a man or a woman, if you couldn't see them.

Heather Kuzmich is a model with Aspergers.
This quote from uncyclopedia pretty much sums it up.
Quote:
↑ Subject to nutritional circumstances (Spergensis is notorioussly anemic and effected by ambient chemicals in the environment and diet during formative developement). Spergensis high in testosterone are especially upright and handsome (though somewhat metrosexual) creatures known for their leadership tendencies and occasional meglomania. Still asocial, but is promptly excused as simply being a rugged and even heroic "individualist" who is above the mundane interests of the uneducated rabble (See Keanu Reeves or any Tim Burton or Robert A. Heinlein protagonist)
↑ At least not contemporary gender stereotypes, particularly healthy Spergensis tend to exhibit Chivalrous/Bushido type patterns of behavior; see Renaissance fairs.
↑ See above reference to health and diet, this phenomena may be related to father's lifestyle).

I believe that quote is entirely true.

Ah, no, he did not go into any detail.
And I guess I was at the time moment too confused to ask
I was also 21, very young and very messed up.

Omg me too. (Not with a psychiatrist though, boss and co-workers usually) I don't get it.

Is 5'4" short enough? Oh wait, I'm married....
