It is amazing that humans exist in a complex way, and the strangeness of quantum mechanics is amazing.
Can there really be anything other than the world?
My match.com profile info just got deleted, seemingly for no good reason and I'm pretty annoyed and upset about it really because there was no inflammatory content in it at all that I could clearly see so... wtf. I feel like who I am is yet again being torn apart by neurotypicals. 🙄 It's hard enough trying to find someone for something real as a chronically ill, autistic, childfree, unemployed person without sites that are supposedly about finding real love making it even more difficult.
What's ironic is that they appeared to match me with men who did not share my values etc, and let men who were not what I'm looking for message me. For example, I made it quite clear I don't want kids - I got men who wanted them messaging or being matched with me. I am an atheist - I got Catholic men messaging or being matched with me. I wanted a committed rship - I got ... you get the picture.
Has anyone else had these experiences? And those who have found someone, how did you meet?
I post on here a lot. A few of you might even recognize my username. My posts tend to average 200-300 upvotes. Many of you seem to relate to me in lots of ways. Truthfully, this place is my only outlet other than my therapist. If it weren't for still living with my parents I'd go weeks without social interaction.
It might sound dramatic, but this is my favorite subreddit. All of you just seem to "get it". I don't have to spit word salad in order for you all to understand what it's like. You all know where I'm coming from. I can vent freely about my condition. I get so many comments saying, "Are you me?" and "Did I make this post?" It makes me feel so less alone. It's liberating.
Thanks for being there guys.
Curious if anyone else has the same problem that I have or have experienced something similar. It’s become a common occurrence for coworkers to come up from behind and poke me in the back or yell loudly usually while I’m trying to focus on my job. My body has an almost knee jerk reaction and I usually get so surprised that I fall down or my back and shoulder spasms. Most of the time they think I’m “overreacting” but I’m wondering if the sudden contact is causing overstimulation.
I was diagnosed with aspergers at 6. I've met many people on the spectrum. The new guy at work told us he was on the spectrum. I understand what that means...I can relate.
The issue is, he is doing stuff that I feel like everyone knows you shouldn't. He changes his clothes in front of everyone. We are all women except him. He just does stuff like that.
Whenever he says stuff, I don't mind. I know the social part is hard. I just don't know what to do. My coworkers hate him. They don't understand the spectrum is a spectrum.
I guess my question is do people on the spectrum sometimes not understand boundaries?
