Been here for only a few days

In that short time I’ve seen what I thought to be a community about autism reveal a nasty underbelly

I have to admit I made a post a couple of days ago about relationships because I was experiencing debilitating intrusive thoughts about being a misogynist / incel.

Some of this subs users are blatant misogynists. It’s become a breeding ground for sexist rhetoric.

I would argue that at times this sub serves as a sounding board for, for all we know, NT but autistic identifying incel misogynistic men.

Both posts and comments generalising women, spouting self-pity, hatred, actual incel rhetoric being not only posted but supported, upvoted, untouched by the mod team.

The last thing I have to say to my fellow autistic men is that relationships and dating do not define you, women are not a prize to be won, dating is not a game to be cracked, and wallowing in self-pity is the most useless thing you can do

Hi guys would like some perspective on this if you are comfortable sharing some of your experiences as autistic women

19M autistic and I’ve always for the most part had male friends and lots of them turned out to be ND, so I’ve no shortage of first hand knowledge about autism in guys

I’d like to better understand how life is for autistic women

edit: I should have been more clear in what I’m asking so here:

What are some social struggles you’ve experienced?

When were you diagnosed?

Stuff like that. Lol sorry for the ambiguity.

Thanks anyone who contributes :)

Constantly feel like the best of my life is slipping me by. Without revealing too much personal information, I’m a male in my late teens

I’m pretty sure I’m autistic, I’m obese but currently changing that

All the time I feel inadequate. I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve lost contact with all but 1 or 2 of my friends from school and college. I feel that I’m always the 2nd option in friend groups

I only leave the house to see family once or twice a week. Still live at home. No job, had a handful of interviews but my self-esteem has basically tanked any chance of a job until I’m not fat anymore.

I feel pathetic and weak, I’m not particularly masculine or assertive, and yet I don’t know if I even want to be.

I’m paranoid that the people in my life think I’m a burden and a loser.

And most of all I’m completely bored with life. I’m paranoid and anxious when I leave the house because I feel ugly and fat. The only thing keeping me going is the possibility that I’ll feel better about myself once my weight loss journey is complete.

At the same time my biggest fear is that I’m wasting my teen years ruminating in my bedroom and counting my calories waiting until I feel attractive enough to socialise with people like a normal person

Just posting here because I’m pissed off…

Tight residential roads in Manchester, BMW driver decides to give way while completely blocking the road I’m planning on turning into

I drive past slow-ish, not trying to miss my turn, also trying to give them enough room to drive past me and clear the turn

Any reason why I got beeped at by said BMW in this situation? Does the gracious and benevolent deed of giving way to someone driving a Citroen C1 while driving a superior 13 year old BMW just like give free rein to being a bit of a prick for the next hour? Is this some unwritten rule I was never told about?

Anyone else have this issue? I feel like casual is a joke, standard is far too easy to be challenging, especially after Ive S ranked every mission. Im bored with the game

Then hard mode like completely skips being harder than normal by any reasonable amount and just straight up has you fighting omniscient demons that can one tap you through a wall if you’re unlucky

I know this is a tired topic, but does anyone have suggestions or things they do to make the game fun and challenging
