| Being able to set and reinforce boundaries is a pretty important skill to develop. (Sighs)... yeah. I feel like I've been better at that at different times in my life. For periods, I didn't have to worry about it, but then before I know it, it's like trying to exercise again, after not exercising f... |

| I also wonder, and this might be too big a thought for a thread like this, how the psychology of presenting sex as something dangerous increases its potential to hurt us when it goes wrong. This is hard to talk about without venturing worryingly close to victim blaming, which isn't at all my intent... |

| In my case, I don't think I'm ever being contacted for anything urgent. It's usually hours of listening to rants (often drunk) that resemble a stand-up routine, until they end up running out of things to say. Certainly never an emergency. I will text others in our friend group, and ask them to reach... |

| Some of the f*****g lengths you have to go to to to make a person understand that YOU DO NOT WANT TO TAKE VOICE CALLS is beyond a joke. I have the same problem with one person in particular. If I respond with a text saying I can't talk, or ask if we can text, they will immediately call me back. I'v... |

| If that is this professor's "experiment" there's a lot of missing information. The first being, the 30 students in his college class may (probably?) have partners outside of the class, and are not interested in flirting. Maybe they stick with their own genders because they find it less dis... |

| Have you worked through an employment agency? In terms of me directly applying to a company for a job, my success is I landed 2 jobs out of over 400 applications. And one of those was at a pizza place, that was so short-staffed, they hired me on the spot. Once I got with the agency I worked through,... |

| Experiencing now, and didnt manage it well this week. I was trying to continue to work and just make it to the weekend. Instead my anxiety went into high gear, I couldn't stop shaking, I was pacing, crying and eventually threw up. I work from home, so I feel very lucky for that. I'm on the couch fli... |

| In fact, maybe it's not that different from autistic people vs. NTs. We all experience the same things and feel something , but it's not always the same thing or even a feeling another person can understand. 100% agree. And I feel like there loads of things autistics,/ND's do to show others how we ... |

| If you really like him, be patient. The time frame I see from your post is a few months. In my mind, this is not particularly long. My current girlfriend (aspie/adhd) years ago asked me to go out one time back in late 2017 (I can go back to records to get the exact date, but I am estimating).we didn... |

| I'm fairly blunt - I try (not always successfully) to be tactful, but I avoid telling lies to do so. I think this is a very good point. Being honest is important. But it's in everyone's interest to be kind when being honest. And when that's not possible, we really need to prepare ourselves for the ... |
