    Eye Contact

    I didn't get so much pushback, but when I try to make eye contact, people tell me I stare at them and that it's creepy, so I gave up on trying. Being tall and broad-shouldered might play a role. I tend to scare people off by "giving them an angry look". I don't hestitate to argue and criticise...

    How can you confidently determine if you have ASD?

    I can't speak a lot of the time, it has never been my best skill, I learnt to speak early compared to other children, but I had hearing loss ever since I can remember. I think in images, function a lot like a deaf person (I'm hard of hearing), and when I'm not in my best state, tired after the...

    How can you confidently determine if you have ASD?

    I mean, when someone is 100% deaf, or 80%, that will obviously make speaking hard no matter if autistic or not. Autistic sensory issues add to the difficulties, but there are lots of other disabilities that make people unable to speak: such as deafness, neurological issues (paralysis), all kinds...

    Eye Contact

    No, it doesn't get more comfortable to make eye contect further away. But it's easier to fake it (look at some other place on the face) and have it go unnoticed.

    How can you confidently determine if you have ASD?

    The whole autism spectrum comes with sensory issues and dyspraxia. Your senses work differently and not in an optimal manner for social interacrions, dyspraxia can cause problems by itself. It can make you have poor motor coordination, skills. It affects other senses as well. Severity levels...

    Is it mainly a boy thing?

    Reminds me of some women in my family, who have feminine interests like fashion and housekeeping, but very focused.

    Why Men Are Walking Away From Dating

    As for marriage vs casual sex it also stands out to me as northern vs southers cultures thing. Similarly to talking to strangers and spending time dining in gastronomies. Southeners seem much more sociable to me :)

    Autism Or No ?

    I was definitely more autistic as a little child when I didn't know much better. Pretty much stereotypical Asperger's syndrome. From the middle of the chart, I have mostly the sensory stuff, stimming and sleep issues. Routines amd sensory things from the right. Special interests - maybe? Me...

    Autism Or No ?

    I don't relate to any psychological tests and I personally wouldn't place much value on them. Definitely they don't address my symptoms and I don't have a stereotypical autistic personality, whatever it is. It might be an image perceived by some people, but it's just an image. Clearly autism here
