    Most men do not have a mental breakdown when someone ignores them. The few who do tend to have a poor attitude, habit of thinking negatively, and a failure to control their emotions. Whose fault is that? Do you have an illness that takes away your free will and forces you to think a certain way?

    Do you believe in IQ?

    IQ is only one measure of intelligence. EQ (emotional intelligence) also plays a large role. People with high IQ but low EQ often appear dumb in certain situations. They may lack common sense, such as having trouble understanding simple things that everyone else knows (like why people behave a...

    Getting more socially isolated

    The fact that they accepted you knowing you were neurodiverse indicates they didn't reject you because of it. There must be another reason. If you can figure out what it is, you might be able to make some changes to avoid being rejected in the future. Here are some reasons why I've rejected...

    Oppinions needed: Faulty asessment meeting?

    @Tiger Doctors only diagnose disorders, such as ASD (autism spectrum disorder). If you have autistic traits but they aren't severe enough to qualify for a disorder, you don't meet the criteria for ASD. Most people who have autistic traits don't qualify for a diagnosis because their symptoms are...

    Looking for a different culture

    Welcome to the forum @GregorSamsonite ! I'd consider moving to the South. You'll find many warm, friendly, tolerant, and accepting people.

    Negative experiences with males can result in you interpreting men's behavior more negatively, which can make it more difficult to get along with men. However, if you practice thinking more positively and seeing the good in other men, it can make it much easier to get along with them.

    I am very desperate

    It's good you have access to a library because they tend to purchase high quality books, unlike Amazon which sells everything, including low quality books that may not be worth reading. You don't really need a book on childhood emotional neglect as these books mostly help people understand why...

    I am very desperate

    Hi Saige and welcome to Autism Forums! It's sad to hear your life isn't going well. Besides autism, it sounds like you might be experiencing childhood emotional neglect (which refers to parents meeting your physical needs but neglecting your emotional needs), which can explain many of the...

    If you want to be happy, you're going to have to learn to adapt to the world around you because other people aren't going to change. Instead of continually getting annoyed, many people in your situation would seek friendships with men and read self-help books to learn to be less sensitive so...

    Autistic Intuition

    Everyone has intuition. I agree with the article that some autistic people probably have more of it than average. However, I think the accuracy of that intuition is more important than how much intuition a person has. I've encountered numerous people whose frequent intuition was often...

    I think schema therapy would be a great option for you. It helps with trauma and relationship issues. Unlike CBT, a schema therapist can act like the female friend you're seeking.

    If something isn't working, trying something else, such as trauma therapy, is a good idea. Have you asked your therapist or someone at their office to help you find a trauma therapist?

    Past determining my future

    I'm glad @Tony Ramirez is still here. I was worried something may have happened to him after reading his last posts and not hearing anything from him the last couple weeks.

    solving Autism

    Interesting how all the conditions with similar symptoms as autism are mental health disorders. Everyone can reduce their stress and improve their ability to regulate their emotions by reading books on emotional intelligence and applying what they've learned. I think it would be more wonderful...
