Yes and no(t). There are so many areas (& “areas”) boys & men are & were under…… in so many fields, you really can’t numbered them.

@marshow did you just make a distinction in gender and criticize that in the same breath? Astounding!

@mars kinda understand what your saying but also wtf you literally contradicted yourself

@mars also cis men ain’t just the problem like you said people are every group and minority have certain toxic views that disturb the nature of conversation we should be trying to understand and equalize our community’s in certain ways but also allow our selfs to be individuals and a part of the collective simultaneously which is hard for us to grasp

Am I the only one thinking of Charlize Thereon in Arrested Development? It might take me a while to notice Autism (or anything else) in this speaker (Emmy Peach). Anyway, she makes a good point (…I think).

Not just that but only tested on autistic males, not females.

If you see that you’re odd, and then change your actions, you just did what anyone else would do to fit into society. You’re not different. You’re very much the same as others. There are no differences to be “celebrated”. It’s the people that change society, to fit in, that are different. It’s questionable whether or not those differences should be “celebrated”.

I don’t know if I have autism or not.. I’m F18 and that feels too late for even considering if I have it. I have problems with communication and maintaining relationships, and other symptoms which sync with autism but at the same time I feel like it’s just me over analysing myself lol.

You are so right! Use the special ability as an advantage! It took me 44 years to learn why I seemed so alien to others. Autistic traits. I was just quiet, taking in all the beauty of the world and connecting lines between all the dots in the world – my whole life. Eventually all those dots and lines turn into shapes and time and distant places… and THAT paints a beautiful 5-D picture of the world and universe we live in… the innocent world inside will always be more beautiful than the outside. Once we can own our spectral differences. We can master them and use the whole of our natural abilities for bigger purposes than ourselves. Thank you for your courage to put yourself out there in the world! Keep looking within and teaching outwardly!

Also the reason it is hard is because when autism was discovered, they only tested it with men back then, so it is a little more harder now to understand it in women because little research was done with them.

Is there a test for this disorder
joni jokunen

To call autism a disorder is akin to calling a penguin disabled because it can’t fly. Nah, we ain’t disabled or have a disorder, we just do better in a different environment than others

I mean, I’m a male and I did the same thing… always knew I was a bit different mainly due to negative reactions of me… So I changed to get better reactions… and it’s OK too, but I won’t hide myself when I just want to randomly stare at a tree or be random in other ways
