| You are certainly not too old to be diagnosed but I would recommend finding someone who understands ASD in women. The standard tests have a heavy gender bias toward males but slowly the idea that women are different is seeping through, at least with those who are more open to learning. There is a g... |

| I was diagnosed with Asperger's from the DSM-IV in my late 20s. I do not meet the current criteria for ASD in the DSM-V, & I don't accept that label. I'm female, but the diagnosing docs called me "textbook". They also called me borderline because the more depressed I am, the more Aspi... |

| I recently read a post about autism in women and I identified with most of what was said. In the past, when I have taken ASD tests, they often had questions such as “are you good at math” or “do you have lower than average empathy”. Because of this I scored relatively low, and did not think I could ... |

| My friend moved to a different state. I posted about her moving last year, but finally she actually did it. We were able to make up, so that's good. We parted on fairly good terms with promises to visit. I haven't posted in quite awhile, been busy wth life. I'll be taking an internship in Alabama so... |

| He doesn't see you the same way you see him. He is not interested, sorry. Maybe you are right, but can I just ask why you say that? After he said he was busy I figured he was blowing me off and I stopped talking to him, but he keeps talking to me and suggested we hang out soon. I've tried to stop t... |

| We have met once in person and have talked many times about seeing each again, but at the moment our schedules don't allow it. It doesn't bother me if he takes a few hours to get back to me, or even a day. What has bothered is before when we were in the middle of a conversation and then he didn't re... |

| I suppose he's texting you because he likes you. Unfortunately, it's not unusual for people these days to just stop responding to texts and then not get back to the person for a while. In the early days of social media, when instant messaging was in it's infancy, I remember many discussions about w... |

If she's really interested, she will.
But I'm a girl and the other girls keep telling me to wait for HIM to initiate... So this is a bit of a fix.  |

| He probably likes talking to you :) if he has a lot going on I wouldn't take it personally when he randomly doesn't text back. I can be like that wth my friends. Thanks, I hope you're right! I actually like him as more than a friend (we met on a dating site) and he has given me mixed signals there ... |

| I met this guy online and we used to talk everyday. He blew me off before by not responding to a text, and I didn't hear from him for a week. I was mad at him and just decided not to talk to him anymore. Later he texted me and apologized, and asked me how I was doing, what I'd been up to, asked when... |

| I met this guy online and we've been talking for several months. We went out together for the first time awhile ago, and the date seemed to be great. But he seemed kind of stressed, and he told me he was kind of down. We talk like normal and things seem great, then suddenly he tells me his parents a... |

| Yes, contact him again, heck, even be the one to ask HIM out to a date if you're that interested. He was probably just 'flirting' but done it poorly. If he's even slightly socially awkward in any other ways it might just be an honest mistake. Be on the lookout though for other 'red flags'/any signs... |

| However, I know that this will probably spark some controversy, but I believe that another reason not mentioned is there is a stereotype applied to some people on the spectrum that they will be successful mathematicians, scientists, engineers, ect. This is all unproven however, and can lead to fals... |

| I've been feeling this so much lately. It helps knowing I'm not alone (although I wish I were, because I don't want others to hurt either). I've been pushing myself to socialize more and more lately, trying to date, go out, meet people, join clubs, etc., because of how lonely I've been feeling latel... |

At the same time, I haven't been feeling like socializing at all. My counsellor told me I need to get out and meet new p... |
