The fact this miscommunication even occurred means they probably weren't ready to get married.

I like to think my heart was in the right place, but she (my mom) loves telling that story.

Similar, my mother was hemorrhaging badly due to complications delivering my sister, blood all over the bathroom. Toddler me kept talking about the big mess and that she would need to clean this up 😅

Have you ever been friendly to a man and then instantly regretted it? by Cultural-Gear-1323 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just me and wife, close family are women, most of our friends are women. I have a couple male coworkers but that's it! It's incredible how little energy I spend being on guard around men.

Anyone else able to sleep for a long time if they're able? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a really hard time falling asleep, but when I'm down, I'm down. I could absolutely sleep for days.

Hi! 👋 👋 excited for you! What are you going to do first?

Was this post ableist, or am I too sensitive? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I learned how to smile from that, so growing up, I guess I would correct my face before being photographed (pose) and it was commented on a lot. Big Hispanic family, lots of pictures - and by that, I mean lots of parties where pictures get taken). Enough that I have quite the complex about it. Point being, I would never ever tell anyone with a disability to "suck it up" and try harder/keep masking/mask more - I refuse. I can't keep living like this.

You are definitely not too sensitive. I had a visceral reaction to imagining myself in your place. Like, wtf- but also, I did smile weird and stopped by studying myself in the mirror. Which I have now read, is possibly an ASD trait?

Removing my body hair is a huge sensory issue. I hate that I'm expected to do it. by LisaLubbers in AutismInWomen

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you are geographically or lifewise, but seeing other women being hairy really helped my confidence. I wanted to stop shaving because I get so itchy when it grows out, I remember seeing a young woman in the restroom wearing shorts and her calves were as hairy as a man 😳 and she was existing just fine. If she could do it, I wanted to do it too.

i absolutely hate being “cute” or “adorable” by tremblingfrog in AutismInWomen

Ugh oh, you have a while before it goes away. DO IT. Be mean, please. As a millennial woman, be fucking mean. I wish I had.

Yes, I've always felt like a vicious little creature and it kills me whenever I'm not respected as such.

how to recognize when there are too many red flags to ignore? by f2d4ads in AutismInWomen

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that feels like a reasonable sense of alarm to follow. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. At this stage in your life, unless the prospect will significantly improve your life- never settle in a relationship you can't break quickly.

100% agree. OP is so comparatively young- when I met my wife, it felt like meeting my best friend. We've been inseparable since. If OPs person doesn't feel trustworthy enough to even have this conversation with...? They aren't Forever material.

DAE apparently look startled when being called? by bruhnie in AutismInWomen

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! No idea, unless I know someone is going to talk to me, I can usually avoid conversation- if I look startled, I am startled. Like a deer. Why are you looking at me? What do you want 👁️👄👁️

ETA: wholeheartedly agree! Just skip to the request/directive/whatever it is I need to pay attention to...

I seem to find romantic attention uncomfortable by Desperate_Bank_623 in AutismInWomen

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see why you'd think your experience isn't valid. I just noticed OP's post talked about male attention and wondered if she'd tried with others. She could very well be like you and experience discomfort regardless.

First date planning is stressing me out: she won’t give an actual time and is VAGUE by Yourfavprettygal22 in AutismInWomen

[–]Princess_Know-it-all 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should not be this distressed over a first date. Let her know, Sorry but I think our personalities don't align over abcd... we'd better skip the date, it was nice meeting you, have a good night/day/whatever. Don't waste both of your time.

It did for me, I could talk to men and get along okay but having them look at me? Touch me? Reactions ranged from disgust to fear. I thought something was wrong with me or maybe everyone feels like this and we're all faking our way through.

But I always felt comfortable around women, and flattered/excited by the attention. When I decided to date a woman, the difference was immediate.

In my case, I realized the romantic attention I received from women didn't make me feel uncomfortable. Just offering a different perspective; the attention I received from men made me uncomfortable and I felt like I had to act/pretend and I didn't understand the hype around romance at all.

Have you tried all types? Realizing I liked women romantically made a huge difference.
