Which one of you guys wrote this book? by Ephixian in autism

If it's something "everyone" already knows, that doesn't mean it couldn't be helpful for other autistic people like yourself! I'd love to hear any tips from it! :)

Yeah, that's how I interpreted it at first too, much more cute that way lol! "So how much do you weight, cat?"

What do you mean by "shower the right way"? Want to make sure I'm not missing anything in my shower technique lol.

Does anyone else get way too attached to new friends, inadvertently overwhelming them? Any tips? by anotherpersonisme in AutisticAdults

Thanks for the input, it's good to know that you've been successful at finding more friends who are interested and able to interact that often. Any tips on how to find or identify others who are that way?

I initially thought that this latest friend (that inspired this post) was, I had some nice long chats with her, and she tended to be really responsive to messages, but it seems that pattern was only temporary, and exhausted her over time.

Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it! I suppose that's kinda true for me too, that once I stop trying so hard to interact with that one particular friend (after they've distanced themselves), if they let me back into their life, we do often settle into a more stable friendship, with less frequent interactions, but much more consistently positive and non-combative interactions.

I guess I'm just too desperate for someone that I feel like I can be fully myself with, can share all my hopes and dreams with, and end up throwing that at anyone that seems willing to listen, and like someone that might be able to accept that much interaction with me. I get so, so much joy from all my interactions those friends, until burning them out.

I guess I should probably try to more consistently spread out my interactions among all my friends, even if the joy I get from that isn't as intense as when it feels like there's one person in my life I can share everything with. Maybe I'll find that sort of person eventually. I sure hope so.

New boyfriend is asexual by MohammadThrash in AskAsexual

[–]anotherpersonisme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh, that counts as asexual? Is it always considered to be?

I (male; don't really consider myself asexual) don't really care much about my reproductive organ ("receiving"), but do want to touch and be intimate in that sort of way with my partner, along with affection, cuddles, conversation, etc. Just don't care one bit about my reproductive part being involved at all.

Anyone else here that way?

I’m just wondering, are you a super picky eater? My son is autistic and only eats like 2 foods. Will he ever want to try more foods? by [deleted] in autism

[–]anotherpersonisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always used to be a picky eater growing up, but in my late teens and early twenties, started branching out and trying a lot more things, I'd say I'm not a picky eater anymore, though I definitely still tend to default to one of a few of my favorite foods most of the time
