@BrowseMan @blarghly this so much this.

I’m 40yo with ASD.

There was this thing in the culture that women want to be left alone. They don’t want sex. Anyone approaching them only judged on their appearance so was obviously a pervert wanting sex. At one point we reached the concept of “stare rape”, looking a woman for too long make her uncomfortable. As someone with ASD, I already learned to count seconds in my head when I look someone: I know I have to move sight after 3 seconds for not being weird/creepy. Still counting since teenagers years. I never approach, even change of the side of walkway on the road if I follow a woman for too long so she’s not afraid. The whole interaction rule in society seem to be “stay away a few meters, don’t touch, don’t look, don’t talk and you won’t be considered a monster”. I’m a bad person for having desires. It’s so fucked.

Congrats @Marycat1. I’m still struggling with food issues, can’t go to many restaurant / traveil with friends so I know it’s hard and those are nos small victories.

@nomugisan what’s AO3? 🤔

True for adults but quite unfair for moms. At least in France, most of the time, they are left over. Most of them have to quit their jobs to become a full-time support for their child 😔 😢

> entire movies about “boy gets rejected by popular girl, boy transforms himself to win her over, boy decides he doesn’t need her anymore because she’s mean”

@BlameThePeacock can you name any? I’ve never seen such a plot.

@VanHalbgott I would not have survived high school if I didn’t have daily slipknot, Marilyn Manson, RATM, whatever could express my inner anger. I’m still a metalhead but I diversified my tastes
