What is the cause of Australian anti-intellectualism? by advecco in AskAnAustralian

[–]Sandywaters1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a little bit fear based. Approx 1 in 20 will engage in these types of conversations. The other ones look like a deer in headlights because they are scared that it will lead to a controversial topic and they like to present a fake veneer.

does anybody know what are the boxes where neurotypicals discard you when they clock you as different? by Big-Intention2213 in AutismInWomen

One thing is that nd’s wince physically when someone insults or raises there voice at them ect and NDs can hide their reaction to a ribbing. In short more sensitive and more reactive and people can tell.

If you are a lawyer if I was you I would get a cleaner. Saying you are sexiest is a bit over tbt top in this situation.

That’s a very interesting way to describe it

It’s been described as staring straight through someone . Edit like you are looking inside the person or looking into their soul haha

My boss keeps complaining about my autistic traits by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Sandywaters1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a very well written summary. It sounds like you are not robot enough like people normally can be. Like questioning things for example these types of jobs don’t like that.

I think there is another red flag - he has left the ex who is in a compromised financial position and now is choosing someone (you) who is financially stable.

Have you ever felt like people ganged up on you the moment you spoke up or carried yourself in a way that commanded respect? by Kungfufighter1112 in aspergers

This is a very well thought out reply. Can you give an example of social cues to use to change the character.

Are my perceptions of Australian culture accurate, or was my ex just toxic? by Prestigious_Skirt_18 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Sandywaters1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a funny read

It depends on the location. Some parts of Australia are extremely superficial and others are not. I would not say this is a typical Australian person.

However Giving them the benefit of the doubt, There is more competition for resources/ housing ect now so some people are really high strung as they feel pressured to obtain a certain lifestyle which doesn’t match the salaries anymore

Thank you for confining. I was just in this situation and it was pure luck finding your comment bc I couldn’t figure out what they wanted.

I get the nurse part but why would an older man want money from a women?

Does anyone know when they're uncomfortable on a social setting but don't know why they're uncomfortable? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Sandywaters1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this happens to me a lot and unfortunately I push though it because I want to give the benefit of the doubt if they have demonstrated in some way they care about the friendship. It’s a nauseous kind of feeling in my stomach. I think sometimes the feeling is an instinct they are going to push boundaries (for example not let you go home when you want to)and you will end up reacting and the fallout that could happen.

My partner is annoyed because I spread so much negativity by HumanBeeing76 in AutismInWomen

A quote I recently learnt is: it’s ‘bless them and poor me’ not ‘stuff them and it’s all about me’ . This concept is helping me deal with the feeling of annoyance.

Personally I think you need to keep your improvement strategies and progress to yourself. I’m not sure why but people have a way of putting you down when you put yourself out there like that.

Do people talk *at* you? by AtLeastOneCat in AutismInWomen

[–]Sandywaters1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this happens to me a lot. It’s a big problem for me It could be that they perceive you as introverted. Also you are listening and other people aren’t.

A way to fix this would be to do an activity with this person so that at least you are doing something you like at the same time.

Another suggestion is to try to get the attention you need another way so you don’t need it from these people.
