    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    YES. EXACTLY, I AGREE! From what I've seen so far, it's like that in Canada too! That suddenly, all/most of the support for autistic adults is suddenly cut off after 18!! Which ruins the whole point and is just so detrimental to autistic adults (especially non-verbal ones/ones who need more...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    It's okay if you're not able to respond to some of my questions! I'm really glad you didn't suffer any ill effects from your disclosure. I guess I've also been trying to avoid that restless and unfulfilled feeling... "It comes down to how you choose to view yourself, as a success or failure."...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    You know... when I first went to my small group at my current church, after months of getting to know each other and being comfortable, one of them told me that their first impression of me was that I was snobby because I didn't make eye contact :cry: Sigh, I'm pretty sure it's from my ASD...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    It's okay! I get like that too, to the point that I either take days (weeks, if it really gets bad) to reply or... don't reply at all. Oh man, congrats on getting your current job, but I also wish you good luck on your career transition! I think this is also a reason why I'm so jaded about...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    Thank you for your reply! If I remember correctly, I've disclosed my diagnosis very briefly on my Instagram a long time ago on Autism day but deleted the post (back when archiving posts weren't a thing, I think). I've disclosed it one time applying to a paying Christian job--only because I was...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    I see... I don't know if I had off the wall job choices (I don't know what's considered an "off the wall job" to be honest) but I guess with my temporary jobs, I haven't stayed long enough to be involved with office politics and drama...? But whoa that's really cool to hear about bosses who are...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    Yeah I agree about the shared interest part. Also I go to church too! Actually I haven't had the greatest experiences with people around my age at the churches I previously went to, but I really like the one that I've been attending so far since 2013...? Though, it's still been taking me baby...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    Yeah I had a feeling it would depend on the company, staff, etc... Sigh. Well it was worth a shot, with me asking. Actually awhile ago, my mom told me something similar, about me not telling other people that I'm mildly autistic because they wouldn't understand. Ahh I see, yeah that makes...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    Thank you for your reply! I actually haven't checked autismcanada.org yet, surprisingly. I will do that right now. To be honest, I'm not as familiar when it comes to the economy so I'm trying to understand your work experience, but man I hate it when a school/work building moves further away...

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    For those of you who have ASD1/"mild" autism and have worked/are working a full time job, do you disclose your diagnosis to future employers, or do you just not mention anything to them in fear of discrimination and losing job opportunities? And if you do disclose, do you show your employers...

    Do other women on the spectrum have trouble dating

    I've had many crushes but I've only been in one relationship before that lasted 1.5 years and surprise surprise, it was long distance too lol. But we met through a college classmate of mine in a MMO (we've met multiple times irl though) He's really nice, but when I opened up and told him about...
