Since autism in females presents differently, we need a place to discuss our own issues and triumphs dealing with Autism.

Rules

Be respectful.

Adhere to the rules of the instance.

This is a safe space, no mean, hateful, racist, etc stuff here.

Men are welcome as long as they are respectful of our space. They should know our struggles too!

I like being able to spend literal hours focused on one thing. It makes the time I'm able to be productive longer.

Right now the worst part for me is the rejection sensitivity, especially trying to be active in a brand new place.

It's an odd realization that the "deep bond" other people have with others is more like an acquaintance to us. We both use the same words to describe our friends, but mean very different things by it.

I fully believe this one fact is why we have so many problems with people we deem friends. They don't have the same actual connection to us we have with them, so the things they do to us don't mean the same thing. Brushing off an acquaintance is no big deal for either party, which is where they come from. For us though, a friend is being unacceptable.
