When they say "just act natural," but now you're questioning the nature of existence itself
My boss asked me why I would not just unmask. I explained that no one in my team could handle that. NTs are naïve that way sometimes.

Boyfriend embarrasses me
Agreed. We can't help being socially clumsy at times but the described behaviour is not typical of Aspergers.

What did people around you say after you got diagnosed ? What advices did they give you ? I'd like to laugh
My relatives still think that I am too "normal" to be autistic. (This masking is killing me inside.)

Anyone else practice ethical non-monogamy?
Same here.

Being real about childbirth is now being "mysoginistic"
Menopause then you got the unholy three.

Meinung zu Supplements von DM
1-3 Mal pro Jahr. Anfangs alle 3 Monate, aber da mein B12-Spiegel super bzw. beim letzten Bluttest leicht zu hoch war, inzwischen 1-3 Mal jährlich. Ich empfehle aber, B12 spritzen immer mit regelmäßigem (bei mir 2 Mal pro Jahr) Blutbild zu kombinieren. Das mit der Dosierung ist sehr individuell und hängt auch vom "Startwert B12" ab.

Common parenting phrases that creep you out?
Yeah I feel the same way. It somehow sounds like "the family I come from is not good enough".

Meinung zu Supplements von DM
Also, was B12 angeht schwöre ich auf die Ampullen aus der Apotheke (von Hevert?), die du dir gepflegt spritzen kannst. Bin seit mehr als 10 Jahren Veganerin und hatte tatsächlich noch nie B12-Mangel. Das ist aber lediglich meine persönliche Erfahrung. Musste letztes Jahr sogar mal mit den B12-Spritzen pausieren, weil ich leicht (unbedenklich) überversorgt war.

I miss my cat - he’s fine, I’m just at work
I might be a sicko but I have cameras installed to view my cats when I'm away from them.

Why is it like this?
Agreed. I can't handle having anything on my head when sleeping.
2
It feels like that most of the time
Not really. I don't live up to the expectations society throws my way but that has never been and will probably never be related to my chronological age.

Anyone ever experience where no one wants you in their group for assignments/projects in college?
I did that too. I hate team work and think it only contributes to swarm stupidity.

Why the f*** does no one talk about the hell that is hyperemesis gravidarum?
Actually the numbers are way too high.

Why doesn't anybody wish they were more gifted or more intelligent?
It doesn't work that way. I for my part see everything that is wrong in this world and suffer realizing things like climate catastrophy. I feel utterly helpless.

Anyone else get overstimulated with wearing bras??
Oh...I never realized this is an autism thing. I don't wear bras except sports bra when doing yoga or weight lifting. I could never stand these tight cloth pieces.
2
What is something you take granted, what for others is hard to achieve?
True. I try not to interrupt ppl but I'm pretty sure I have adhd (besides my diagnosed autism lv 1) so whenever I am too engaged in a conversation I do interrupt.

What is something you take granted, what for others is hard to achieve?
A brain that knows what others are about to say before they say it (natural pattern recognition).

Getting a second opinion on this could take over a year, unless I suddenly become rich
Wtf? So having a job translated to no medication for that doc? I have a steady job but I forget everything ppl tell me instantly so I struggle severly. I have to write every single task down and even so I sometimes forget what I'm supposed to do. 🙄

Do you guys know your MBTI type?

My psychiatrist showed me an interresting perspective
How can you stop pattern recognition and fast thinking? I sometimes whish I could because I start interrupting ppl whenever my brain is faster than their speech.

“Not understanding the subtext in your communication is a ‘you’ problem.” - some allistic person
Yeah in this regard it is way easier to communicate with other autistic humans.

Well since I pretty much diagnosed myself before going to a psychologist and receiving a very clear diagnosis I would say it depends. If your special interest is psychology you might very well be capable of a self diagnosis. Attention seeking is mainly a social media problem as far as I can see.
