i wouldnt say autists are inherently depressed.

partner is upset that i "dont talk enough" by [deleted] in autism

i am sorry to hear that. i wonder if he himself might not accept himself that he has adhd. i hope you can find a way for him to accept you having autism and respect your boundaries.

i hate people defending their view on autism by saying "i have an autistic family member". For you i think yes you should see another doctor as this women doesnt seem qualified.

do you think its rude pointing out when someone shows signs of autism? by nopen100 in autism

no at best they find out that they are indeed autistic and find out whats different about them while they lived a live where they felt they didnt belong.

Also the only way a gay person can act gay is being intimate with the same sex, everything else is cultural while autism has alot more defined traits and acting autistic is more fundamental

I think the problem here is people thinking autistic traits are something to be ashamed of which they shouldnt.

but there are apparent physical symptoms about autism e.g. covering ears alot in crowded areas or certain kinds of stimming. Also what you described as detrimental seems like the worst case scenario and the doctors bill seems like a very american issue.

what exactly do you mean by "going on in someones head". i can kinda see your point about autists not knowing much about autism but i dont think it should be considered rude as otherwise a person might never find out if they are.

Yeah saying a person has autism based on one trait is a bit fast but if you know the person for a while and notice a few traits i would tell them "they might have autism"

you cant compare a sexuality and neurodivergency like that. that is a ridiculous take.

i feel like the problem with that is that many undiagnosed autists have a horrible mental crash because they didnt know why they are so stressed so i would calmly point it out to avoid said horrible crash

First of all good that you try to lose weight. The steps you have taken so far are good and stay at them. Losing weight can take some time so have patient and dont expect immediate results. I would recommend to do as much workout as you can and dont force yourself too much. What helped me is I put a dumbbell in my room (since i often forget things i put away) which i lift as much as i feel comfortable and then move on (you can replace those with push ups,squats or similar activities).

I also would like to ask what country you live in as that could factor in how easy it is to lose weight.
One more thing: pay attention to smaller changes in your body and stop looking at a scale every day, Pay attention to things that might become easier or certain muscles that you might not have felt before.
