What got me the most are the chapters about depression and autism and gut health. I found the 'advice' of giving a person who's on the spectrum just a third of the prescribed medicationdose a non autistic person need actually very dangerous? Or at least risky, and something that should not be done without consideration and communication. We are aware that seeking a formal diagnosis is a privilege. However, please add to your post that you are seeking a diagnosis/self-diagnosed (this just avoids potention confusion). HR: Tell our audience here, what you feel the big differences are between Aspie in women and guys with Asperger’s. I don't get it. We've been doing a big loft conversion this year and almost every trades person has let us down in some way. We are not rude, always very polite on the phone, falling over myself to make cups of tea, offer biscuits etc while they are here. Is there an app to talk with a computer rather than speaking? I tend to write better than speak, and could probably get a point across if I type my answers better than if I speak. Is there a free app for this? Basically, I am better at non-verbal than verbal in articulation.This was a book that definitely gave me a lot to think about... because even though I'm positive my computer design engineer father has Aspergers, it never occurred to me until recently that I might have it. I'm now pretty sure that I do - the reasons are too numerous to list, but having had the same breakfast for the past 20+ years and finding my weird pattern-matching ability described as "fluid intelligence" and an Aspergers savant skill... Yeah.

The first seven chapters of this book were very well researched and build on things I had already read in very reputable texts like those of Temple Grandin's. I was very excited about this book because it was telling more of the story that I was already following. With age, too, comes the ability to indulge in or refrain from the inveterate and sometimes involuntarily issued puns and non-sequiturs an Aspie might inflict on coworkers and acquaintances. I do it on purpose, now. She does state that psychic sensitivity [in Autistic folks?] hasn't been proven by science yet, but most of the language / phrasing she uses is matter-of-fact. We are a support group. We do not allow posts asking for DMs, personal messages/connections, or to advertise looking for someone local to meet in person as a friend, potential date, potential hookup, or to get to know outside of posting publicly in the group.

But, the rest didn't fit at all -- for example, "few, if any, activities provide pleasure." Nuh-uh. Guy: “Can you imagine if they lived in 2015? All they had to do was send each other one lousy text message. Bam! Problem solved. No one had to die.” Even in social behaviours I can’t do that. I kinda am like a pessimist in the Internet, I just think from what I learned like above. There were also a couple of passages that particularly disturbed me because they seemed to conflate the author's experience with the experience of all women with Asperger's, although I'm still not sure how much of this is the intrinsic content of the passages and how much of it is what I brought to it. Two examples below:

no.2: I have such a hard time displaying emotion at the appropriate times and everybody is always asking why I’m so emotionless or if I’m “okay”. The last thing annoys me the most because usually there is nothing to be specifically happy about at that moment and maybe that’s okay. TM: Be your own super hero. That’s the Aspiens model right? Be your own super hero not someone else.

Whether it's because of the author's own views of gender identity or because of the time in which it was written, this just does not make sense to me, reading these words in 2019. Oh my – my laugh for this morning. Forwarding it to my daughter who will just love it. Wwitch up the boy/girl roles for an even bigger laugh. Imagine being an attractive 19 year old woman who would say exactly what the guy says in this piece. Too too funny. Thanks so much. HR:Thank you so much Tania, keep up the great work you do for so many, you’re an inspiration and we look forward to working with you.
