Please don't use "overly strong" language in original posts, as our Auto-Mod WILL remove your post. There were many things I could relate to, but there is still around 50% that I don't relate to at all. What frustrated me most was how she writes about Aspergirls as women who often have temper meltdowns and depression. This is not the case for me and quite some other women AT ALL. In fact I'm someone who rarely gets angry. Really. Most of the women Simone interviewed seemed very emotionally unstable and extremely childish. The latter is also an aspect Simone touches upon a lot. She makes it seem like all Aspergirls are very emotionally immature and don't get along with people their own age and older. I mean... what!? Everyone tells me I have a very old soul and I get along much more with people who are older than me. Sure, I know this is not the case for every Aspergirl, but it did really bug me that Simone paints a picture of Aspergirls as people who all prefer to hang out with those who are at least 10 years younger than them. Joe B; because they do, that’s how they think – question is why you think they shouldn’t – people are different, think of diamonds with many facets shining & viewing from different directions. And the issue is that it’s NOT generalised; it’s gender specific – that can hinder information transfer as not all relate to a stereotype (ie; women like stupid-heeled shoes, men like sports)- it can distract from the main message, which isn’t desirable – What I do is swap it round in my head, but of course I prefer if it’s more ambiguous; far easier. I believe that this is a large part of why we have difficulty getting along with others. If someone is smiling and saying one thing but psychically we are hearing something completely different, we will get confused and want to run away. This often conflicts with appearances and what others tell me, causing me to doubt my own intuition. I usually turn out to be right. A more cynical person might call it a self-fulfilling prophecy. The misperception of this sensitivity is that we are hard to get along with...paranoid" (40). (I normally wouldn't reproduce this much text from a book, but in this case I wanted to provide as much context as is given in the book.)

But to me people are like animals in a zoo, there I said it. Facsinating, annoying, subjects to study and help. I would help and animal or a person, the difference is not very clear. One of my autist friends was a med doctor who died saving his rescued animals in a fire. He was also seen as a great doctor who fought for his patients. But he privately told me he saw no great difference between helping people or animals, and now he died for that belief. Who is crazy, him or the ‘normal’ people? But there is certainly a difference. Call it lacl of ’empathy’ or whatever. There is a weird strand of thought which says it is OK to be rude about the British in a way that would be unacceptable when describing anyone else. Not just about workmen. When DD was younger she found it very difficult when her American, Russian, Chinese or Scandinavian classmates would suggest she was lazy and stupid, since that is how their parents described the British.Also apparantly people with autism might have it because they ALL have gut problems? And you should use dietary supplements and eat non-processed foods and when possible no animal products, also sugar is bad guys. Ok then....I'm al for eating less sugar and staying healthy. But I also know that often non-processed stuff or so called healthier brands of food are also WAY more expensive. And the book mentions that women with ASS have a high chance of dealing with poverty so....there you go. I found it to be completely understandable if people opt to go for the less healthy BUT cheaper brands of food, especially if they live with other people. I so agree with you, aspie art! You just described my brother to the letter. Sometimes I catch how deeply he feels by some of his facial expressions (he happens to be blind, by the way). It takes a long time for him to feel comfortable enough to share his deepest thoughts and emotions, while at other times, they just seem to pour out of him. He does seem to bottle up his emotions. Different Brains, Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strives to encourage understanding & acceptance of neurodiversity. Read our full mission here. Being a parent of a girl with autism biases my reading interest toward books on the topic, and to date I have read a lot. Aspergirls is quite atypical of many i have read and refreshing in style.
I Am AspienGirl: The Unique Characteristics, Traits and Gifts
no. 3: This example is the best for me because, personally, I have never been able to figure out how to hug people. I understand that for some a hug is an offering of emotional support. But for me that is a hard thing to offer up as I myself feel uncomfortable while trying to give someone a hug because I dislike touching others and try to avoid it as much as possible. Guy: “Sure. Just like the alphabet and kindergarten are no big deal. Without kindergarten, we wouldn’t be able to have this conversation!” Guy: “Can you imagine if they lived in 2015? All they had to do was send each other one lousy text message. Bam! Problem solved. No one had to die.” no.2: I have such a hard time displaying emotion at the appropriate times and everybody is always asking why I’m so emotionless or if I’m “okay”. The last thing annoys me the most because usually there is nothing to be specifically happy about at that moment and maybe that’s okay.
It’s the loneliness. It’s from extending towards people, trying to be understood and always getting shut down and dismissed. Feeling Other Than, always, on the fringe and not wanting to be, like an afterthought. I really enjoyed your blog, it’s really well-informative and interesting. Thank you for sharing this. Aspergers find it difficult to interpret other people’s emotions. They find it hard to understand body language or subtle emotive cues. I recently came across an article where they shared some knowledge about Autism Spectrum. Maybe you would like to add something from here- http://blog.nationalcollege.edu.au/blog/course/life/understanding-the-autism-spectrum

I don't get it. We've been doing a big loft conversion this year and almost every trades person has let us down in some way. We are not rude, always very polite on the phone, falling over myself to make cups of tea, offer biscuits etc while they are here. I was particularly frustrated by how much of the second half of the book sounded like victim speak. Everything was told from the perspective of a victim who is of course, guiltless and blameless in everything. That wore extremely thin. No political discussions. There are other subreddits for this. Our focus here is mental health/support. Girl: “Wasn’t Romeo and Juliet the best story every written? Didn’t the story make you feel really sad?” And it’s really scary to think about that, that I could have…lost myself along the way as I tried to survive the neglect and loneliness.Aspies and those who wonder if they might be "on the spectrum," as it offers a plethora of insights and strategies for living in and coping with a world which often feels like "living on the wrong planet." Meanwhile in the real world there are adults that absolutely adore Disney, sleep with plushies because they might have fallen in love with how cute it was, got it from a dear partner/friend. Many adults play games, hell look at things like pokemon! Adults collect things from their favorite shows/books, cosplay at cons. I could go on for a long time. If that sounds like I’m in a good place, then it’s false. I struggle to get through each day. Just writing this helps me get through my demons. I miss my friend. I realise it was autism drew me to him, a kindred soul. We obsessed together, and laughed at everything. But he was crazy and I could not live with him eventually. He brought homeless people to sleep in our shared flat, obsessively bringing home strays. I eventually had enough of the surprises. We met at meditation groups, it helped cope with constant anxiety. Nobody knows, nobody knows. As Rutger Hauer says at the end of Blade Runner, ‘I have seen things you would not believe’. A face totally dissolve with leprosy over a period of months, the bearer standing on a street corner in old Calcutta begging with arms outstretched, nobody stopping. Kismet. The first seven chapters of this book were very well researched and build on things I had already read in very reputable texts like those of Temple Grandin's. I was very excited about this book because it was telling more of the story that I was already following. I guess Gay, bi, asexual, trans, aromantic, nonbinary etc people don't exist. Very, very heterosexual. Heteronomative or however you spell it. Also not everybody wants a husband. But I got the idea from the book that netting a husband is 'worth it' because 'autism ladies are naieve, childlike and need protection :)))' and so that they are cared for like a stereotypical 50's housewife.
Great Deal
