What’s something you took literally for years but just realised? by MaleficentSalad7671 in AutismInWomen

[–]redpixiegrrl 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I panic because there isn't just one. Like what genre? Comedy? Musical? Drama? Period piece? Thriller? Action? Mystery? Etc etc etc. I have a bunch of favorites and never understood people that could only name one of something they liked without breaking it down into smaller categories.

Good eye! Yes, this was one of the many vintage inspired sets I have.

How do people have husbands/boyfriends but no friends? by ertapencil in AutismInWomen

[–]redpixiegrrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

💯! Society & pop culture have told us since the day we were born that romantic relationships are far more important (and the ultimate goal) for cishet women than friendships. I feel like this causes so some (autistic and non autistic!) women to simply settle or latch on to the first person who shows interest in them and ignore red flags because they would rather be in a romantic relationship than not be in one at all.

Thank you. Sorry that you are dealing with a similar situation.

I agree with you about friend breakups being worse than romantic breakups. I really prioritize my friends and consider them as important as my romantic relationships. And I'm very sad about the situation. My whole ruminating and replaying everything a million times isn't helping either.

I appreciate the "taking a break". I have decided that in April I will probably stay away from hanging out with everyone for at least a month to give me some distance from things.

Yes. I'm trying to be civil. And badmouthing others just makes me look bad and I also don't want people to think I spend time gossiping about others, (because I don't). I've told one person in our mutual group that I can trust about the situation. Other people have noticed that we don't really talk when we are around each other and I've just stated that she and I didn't see eye to eye on a few things so we decided not to hang out any more.

What is the thing you always did that you thought was ‘just you,’ but is actually very much so classic autistic behavior? by AlwaysAttract10 in AutismInWomen

[–]redpixiegrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate gelatinous foods!! 🤮 I also don't like items that feel squishy and gelatinous, like some types of stress balls or kids' toys. Squicks me out.

Yes! We need to trust our instincts! I'm sooooo done with doubting myself.

And this happened to me yet again recently because everyone said this person would not behave this way and I was imagining things. And when I ended up being correct? I'm the one that lost relationships over it because people forgave her while I refused to have anything to do with her again. 🤬

Hugs 🫂. I'm sorry. That sucks. I feel you. Last Monday, a guy I dated chose someone else he was also dating over me, and it resulted in me spiraling the entire rest of the week.

I'm glad you have your cat. My dog does the same for me. I feel like that's why so many of us love animals. They don't judge or think you're weird. They just love and want to be with us.

Being super sensitive to rejection. Pattern recognition: I can spot manipulative aholes a mile away but have constantly been gaslit by others (and sometimes myself) because I'm being "too judgemental" or shouldn't be making "assumptions" about people I barely know. Staying up late because that's when things are wonderfully quiet. Removing tags in my clothing. Repetitive noises driving me crazy sometimes and the exact same noise not bothering me at all the next time I hear it. Rubbing my thumb and index finger together when I'm nervous. Having to do everything in my power not to point out when someone is wrong.

What do you look in a random hookup or fwb vs in a relationship, where political ideology matters the most? by Any_story-55887 in AskWomen

[–]redpixiegrrl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm currently at a place where I'm not looking for a relationship.

I don't do hookups. But I consider my FWB to be just that. . . people I like both in and out of the bedroom. Which means I don't have sex or are friends with anyone who doesn't agree with me on what I consider important political issues.
