    I am glad to see other autistic people having support in their lives and it gives me hope

    So happy to hear that you are enjoying your friendships, Tony. :blush:
    Women are so nice to me now and acknowledge I exist. It just feels weird because most of my life they were never really mean to me they just completely ignored me.

    Good going. Maybe you were like me, not really noticing the attention. I had to do a lot of introspection and now recognize the times a girl/woman would have liked me to connect but I was too clueless or afraid to act.
    No matter how close I try to get close I can't stop my toxic behaviors.

    I know but I just keep falling into bad habits. I thought I finally stopped but I still failed
    I am going to meet my friend this week to talk in more detail. I am also seeing my therapist tomorrow.

    I don't know whether you've noticed that your moods ebb and flow, similar
    to the tides. Positive, negative, positive, negative.

    Welcome to the club, me bucko.
    I smiled entered yoga class tonight positive and right away cute yogi next to smiles back, said hi and told me her name. We even chatted after class. What a difference smiling makes with people even women approaching me even though I have messy hair and I am unshaved it does not seem to matter.

    If those women are approaching you then more than likely they are just doing it out of friendliness and kindness but never to express romantic or sexual interest

    It's just when I was younger most women would ignore me and would not give people the of day. It messed me up badly later in life. Only now I am recovering from the trama.
    My YouTube recommendations are starting to skew to the dark side again.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. The algorithm on YouTube dictates all of that. It's majority the programming guessing what you'd like based on watch history. Though it also has the capacity to push unrelated content at us. Which gets pretty obnoxious.

    You can always learn to periodically purge your own YouTube history forcing the algorithm to start all over again. Sometimes I think their algorithm was created solely by a dimestore psychologist. :rolleyes:
    I found out this week that I truly have friends that will stand by me and accept me as I am.

    Did you find them, or make them yourself? Tell me your techniques.

    They are from church. They stood through me even through all my info, drama dumping which I know they are my true friends.

    You now know that you have social value. Use that thought and be confident about approaching a woman for a date. Yes, some women will decline your offer (I hate the word, "reject."). Some women may only look upon it as a free meal. And a good number will accept to get to know you better.
    I dodge a bullet for nearly oversharing drama dumping last week to someone I barely know. Through God and luck the email did not go through.
    Do people with ASD think they have no friends at times when they actually do? I think like this often.
    I don't know what to say when younger women ask me my age especially online after seeing my profile picture? I don't want to lie to them since I look younger than I am.

    I would recommend the truth. Just say your real age.
