    How to become better at being a woman?

    Hi there! I'm afab but I've never been good at being a woman. I've always been the loudest, most dominant in the room if I'm with other females. I don't have the energy to wear tons of make or use skin care. As a child, I related more to movies like the little rascals and Scent of a Woman...

    I wish my female friends understood how much they mean to me.

    Almost all my female friendships ended in disaster. The ones i liked ditched me, and abandoned me. While the others that i don't like think that i like them. My issue is I get depressed a lot when i see a couple because i never really had that type of Romantic Intimacy (being a close couple)...

    Study: Gender, autism in adulthood and presenting as 'normal' (interview-based)

    Hi! I'm non-binary, asexual and autistic (I was diagnosed aged 21). Starting from my own experiences, I'm now carrying out research on autistic women, trans and NB people’s experiences of presenting as socially ‘normal’ - particularly focused on exploring how this intersects with gender. The...

    Doctors Ignoring Women's Problems.

    So I had to talk to a psychiatrist this morning about my depression. This has been a huge step for me. This is the first time in my life that I've ever gotten help from professionals with my anxiety and depression. I am very grateful, and happy to be getting this help. However, I have noticed...

    Autistic Women organization in NYC

    This was a repeat feature on the Today show today: Inside Felicity House, where women with autism find a sisterhood I thought it was a good feature and sounds like a good program. Might be a template for your city.

    I Think I've Become a Gynophobe

    The title pretty much says it all. I've been a hopeless romantic since I was a little kid, but every girl I've ever tried to get to know has either rejected me or flaked on me. In recent years, I've developed a deep-seated fear of not only women but females in general, even those of animals and...

    Autism and adult women

    The short version is that my son is autistic and ever since I heard about Aspergers years ago, I have wondered if I was on the spectrum. I don’t know what to do next. I am seeing a therapist who specializes in CBT and pain. I have pain issues as well as anxiety and depression, though my...

    Younger male partners

    All the boyfriends that I’ve had (and ex husband), have been younger than me (six months, a year, two years, three years, three years). I’m curious to know if there are other female aspies like me. I used to think that it was because I looked younger, but maybe I’m emotionally younger too (an...

    For women: how do you overcomes social intolerance or misunderstoods by your behaviour?

    I mean, i am really convinced that, in a general way, society tends to be much more tolerant with atypicals or ''strange" behaviours when they come from men. How do you overcomes it? Ps: English ins't my native language, so probably this text must contain some spelling erros. Please feel free...

    Women on the spectrum, masking

    Hi, I'm wondering if there are women on the spectrum out there, who are confused about, or maybe just don't do the masking thing. Masking is where a female watches her friends closely, then adapts her behavior to be like her friends. In other words, copying the behaviors to blend in. I always...

    Jewelry?

    As an Aspie woman, do you like wearing jewelry, or does it bother you? I love the beauty of jewelry, and wore it a little when I was younger, but now, I just don't want any on, it's annoying to me. I did not ever want attention drawn to me. My choices were a little different than others, as...

    How can I hold myself together for the babies?

    I have been obsessed with babies for a few months. I long to hold and care for the babies, so I thought working with them would ease these infuriating urges, but I don't feel any differently about babies, unfortunately. I get emotional and sometimes teary thinking about babies or seeing...

    The potato bazooka

    I have two friends who used to be a couple, who were friends of my ex and I when we were a couple too. We don’t live in the same country anymore, but when I learned that they separated more or less at the time than we did, I contacted them (separately). What she said about their separation was...
