I think it's more that this isn't the first time that a woman shows up asking for help with her nasty, lying, cheating borderline abusive husband/boyfriend/crush who in no way acts in a recognizably ASD manner, and asks us to make sense of it because he may or may not have ASD.
^ That was the underlying theme in my opinion left unchecked: the linkage of Aspergers, male and many very toxic behaviors written as a foregone conclusion. I also agree that I see a pattern here.
Perhaps I'm a bit overly cautious after a recent post about a toxic website and a surge afterward in what I feel might be bogus new members, but anytime a new member posts, there is a part of me that looks at the posts in the interest of vetting them. Sadly, I don't think we can assume that every new member is legitimate.
I'm not saying I'm certain there's such an issue in this particular case. I hope there isn't. For the new members that are legitimate, it would be assumed they'd take umbrage with such suspicions, object to them and continue their dialogue and participation.
