    Socially awkward men mistreated by women

    Please do not joke about rape. As someone who has experienced sexual trauma, this kind of thinking that the woman deserved to be raped (or that the man is less of a man because he was raped) is very harmful. No one deserves for that to happen to them. Not even ableist jerks. Now if you want to...

    Can aspergers and BPD coexist?

    I talk about this in depth in this post. Obviously mental illness manifests itself differently in everyone, but see if you identify with any of it.

    Aspies are just same as everyone?

    If we were not different then we would not have shared experiences such as: 1. Being bullied heavily in both childhood and adulthood 2. Having seemingly simple but in reality unrealistic expectations placed upon us that we cannot meet 3. Being discriminated against in the workplace/at school 4...

    Autism and Art

    I would also like to know the answer to this question. If the answer is just visual art you can ignore parts of this post. I have always been a very creative person and as someone else mentioned above me, I have also been able to draw photo realistically from a young age. I have taught myself...

    Violent 10yo

    It sounds like something bad is happening to him, either external (very bad bullying, abuse from an authority figure or peers) or internal (mental health issues such as Intermittent Explosive Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder) or both. If he is more verbal I would recommend trying to...

    Comorbidity between Autism and Borderline Personality Disorder.

    I'm sorry I don't think I'm qualified to answer the question about PTSD. There can definitely be some overlap since BPD is almost always caused by trauma/abuse. But yes BPD always comes with difficulties in emotion regulation and being more sensitive than is comfortable. Other than that I would...

    Comorbidity between Autism and Borderline Personality Disorder.

    *Trigger warning for non explicit mentions of self harm, suicide, sexual trauma and eating disorder and detailed descriptions of Borderline Personality Disorder. Please do not read this if you think it will trigger you* I have both. I am currently on medication for BPD that makes me functional...

    How can someone with autism make money abroad?

    You've listed a lot of your weaknesses which are good to know, but in order to get someone to pay you to do something you also have to know your strengths. I know it can be hard to see them when you have low self esteem (and I'm saying this from personal experience), but everyone has them, so I...

    What do you guys think of "person first language"?

    Yeah I get how language can be difficult and interesting at the same time as someone who does not always understand hidden meanings but loves to write.

    What do you guys think of "person first language"?

    So person first language is the idea that we should say "person with autism" instead of "autistic"/"autistic person" or "person with cancer" in instead of "cancerous person" because you're trying to value the human part of them before whatever it is they have or are. Originally my roommate (an...

    Jumbling up sentences

    This actually sounds like it might be dyscalculia. My roommate has it and often mixes up numbers and has trouble quantizing them and translating them into real world significance. They also have trouble reading analog clocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia
