    Did I Mess Up?

    Oh god... First, I think that people here responded right, I also agree with them. Since I don't have a child, I cannot give you a relevant reply or advice. But second, when I read this quote I was shocked. Her behaviour is truly unaccpetable and disgusting. It'd hurt me so much that I am not...

    Jaja, puedo decir que mi español está muy mal, pero quiero mejorarme porque creo que es una lingua muy buena. Lo siento, I graduated from high school in spanish language and I forgot most of it lol :D

    Some non-gamers are telling me gaming is a waste of time.

    Ha, I saw half an episode of "Married at first sight" and even the most relaxing, brain-washed video-game is more intellectual that that. I mean, yeah, everybody has their own guilty pleasures (I watch "Wife Swap" lol), but nobody should talk bad about it. It's their own thing, yeah, someone...

    Faking Neurodivergency

    I agree, it's difficult to say. I can see around myself that (for myself unknown reasons) these ADHD and autistic diagnosis are "trendy" (I was told by my previous psychiatrist, she didn't believe I was Asperger's (she was 99 % sure) and I was faking it because it's modern thing). I think the...

    Advice needed, NT male dating ASD female with PDA subset. Getting ghosted?

    Because physical touch is something very intensive, we need time to cope with that. I think that getting to know each other via texting is a very good idea at the start, but seeing that she didn't cut the rope right now, it seems she wants to continue. It's possible (I am guessing from my own...

    Greetings from Czechia

    Ha, he is! Not that much of a cuddle bug, but he really is very funny :D It's not a boring time with him. Of course, you can write me message anytime :blush: Our folk music is kind of special, not so mainstream and for some people hard to understand.

    Advice needed, NT male dating ASD female with PDA subset. Getting ghosted?

    I understand you, because since you two were texting regularly, this change of behaviour must be puzzling for you. And she probably didn't want to text you "Stop texting me, it's too much" since it would sound too rude and too much of a closure, and she visibly didn't want that. I think if you...

    Advice needed, NT male dating ASD female with PDA subset. Getting ghosted?

    Yes, I agree that flow of messages was a bit too much for her. I personally would feel confused, because you first said you'll be texting less and then you were still writing and I'd feel like you only stated you'd text less, but in fact you "ignored" her need. I'd feel like you're still...

    Disability Geography - Autism research

    Thank you! Doing questionnaire with open answers is also an option, it's a possibility, indeed. And if may I ask, would you be free to do subsequent questionnaires after the first one? Because it's possible, that only one wouldn't be enough and for better understanding I would need more answers...

    Disability Geography - Autism research

    Thank you so much! Your mention of being overwhelmed is very important, I didn't realize it, so thank you for that. I want to do the interview to the communication partner's liking, so knowing all these possibilities is very much appreciated :) And if it's not too personal, may I ask you why...

    Disability Geography - Autism research

    Oh, thank you! It's interesting. I also thought about arranging a focus group somewhere in the future, so thank you for your commentary. And do you think it was better for you to open about yourself, being in a group with other people like you, or you would rather like more personal discussion...

    Disability Geography - Autism research

    Thank you so much for you answer! I understand completely you mentioning being 1-1 and sitting rather side-by-side, I have the same feeling. I have a big problem with other people's expectation, like holding eye contact, sitting in "normative" way, answering at the right moment, not looking too...

    Disability Geography - Autism research

    Thank you for you answer! Regarding texting, would you prefer rather e-mails or chat rooms or it doesn't matter? For me I like quite the opposite. Maybe I am weird, but I actually prefer to see and send body-language signals, that's why texting would be more confusing for me. That's very...

    Disability Geography - Autism research

    Thank you for your answer! I'm doing a qualitative research, which is very hard to be applicable for everyone, that's true. That's why I also think it's important to ask for the preferable way of doing interviews the person beforehand. Because from my experience it's disruptive to be asked...
