Also working on being more physically attractive. I already starve myself to lose weight.

I have the right to do what I want with myself. If i want to force myself to look and act a certain way I can

Yeah that's true

Your body your choice

I'd hate for you to slide down a crack in the pavement though

I’m going to open a Tinder with photoshopped pictures of myself. I will post the results later

If you're male and your behavior strongly suggests that you're autistic to those familiar with the concept, you may be best off looking at the disability community for female companionship. Might not necessarily be autistic women. Would you qualify for Special Olympics? Individual sports seem to skew either male or female, but they also have social events where you could meet women.

I’m high functioning. I graduated both high school and college. But i’m just slightly below NT to get a good paying job and be independent because NTs can tell I’m slightly off.

TW: what i’m about to say will be considered offensive by many. Proceed with caution.

I’d rather be single than date an ND/disabled woman.

Maybe you should consider staying single. There’s no shame in that.

Have you tried therapy?

Having internalized prejudice of any sort is a lousy way to go through life.

Not paying to go see a therapist. I believe therapy is for the weak


Yeah that's what I thought, till my PTSD got worse. Running away and hiding from your problems is the weak thing to do...not saying it to be judgemental, saying it because that is what I tried and it doesn't work.

You are always going to be autistic no matter what you do.

As someone who was diagnosed late and never considered the possibility that I was autistic - I literally copied NTs. You'll find a lot of women like me doing the exact same thing and still struggling. As you said, you're going to always be slightly off. You can deny and hide and learn all the tricks, but you're never going to be a NT. Your brain is wired differently than them.

I sound harsh because you're going to suffer more if you suppress yourself. You are lying to people. I mean, you don't need to tell every single person you are autistic, but if you never tell your spouse or someone close, it will hurt them. You're harming your body for the chance of ONE person to say "hi." Is that not extreme? That's never going to bring you happiness.

You don't need to be happy to be autistic, I think you just need to make peace with it.

Either I pass as NT, or I unalive myself.
