About this deal

I guess Gay, bi, asexual, trans, aromantic, nonbinary etc people don't exist. Very, very heterosexual. Heteronomative or however you spell it. Also not everybody wants a husband. But I got the idea from the book that netting a husband is 'worth it' because 'autism ladies are naieve, childlike and need protection :)))' and so that they are cared for like a stereotypical 50's housewife. There was much in "Aspergirls" that I could relate to, and it was interesting to see the experience of having Aspergers from the perspectives of others. However, there were many instances where I felt that the author was making generalisations based on her own personal experience that were not necessarily relevant to other women on the spectrum. Stay tuned for my next post in which I'll describe even more 'ah-ha!' revelations that led me to realize that I, too, am an Aspie -- an AspieGirl...! Yes, a prevailence of ’empathy questions’ pop up and I’m sure the metaphore provided at the top of the article is confusing to NT people, as it designed to be more accessible for those who suspect they have Aspergers. Here lies the problem. Aspies and those who wonder if they might be "on the spectrum," as it offers a plethora of insights and strategies for living in and coping with a world which often feels like "living on the wrong planet."

Although Ashbie started off as a branch of the Pink-Haired Enbie meme, she would eventually evolve into her own character. On February 28th, 2021, Ashbie's design changed from its original form, and various edits were produced with Apu Apustaja. In this era, Ashbie wore a blue t-shirt that reads "Autism is my Superpower." On September 26th, @ashbiemoon started drawing her with shirt logos not associated with Autism Speaks. [11] She has also been depicted wearing a Please be patient I have autism hat. [9] [10]But, the rest didn't fit at all -- for example, "few, if any, activities provide pleasure." Nuh-uh. As one would expect with an Aspie, the writing can be a bit repetitious, yet I still got a lot out of this book. I have worked with 0, yes I wrote 0, girls with Asperger's in my 15 years of working with special needs and high risk populations!! I mean, WTF?!! To read that a lot of these girls and young women are misdiagnosed is no surprise to me. And it breaks my heart. Dude, I’m sheltered… I dont go out that much. I’d rather type stuff about how I relate to these even if it is just a waste of time. There's a lot of woowoo here. See, I guess if you have autism you are psyschic. Also God apparantly made you 'special' if I have to believe Deborah at the end of the book. Kind of an asshole 'I made you very special :DD have fun navigating this chaotic world in which lots of people might hurt you, make it harder for you or just plain don't understand-and don't want to-I love you :DD'---An asshole God. Like a Square Peg (Focusing on people that are questioning if they are on the spectrum or not. We aren’t promoting it as a “support group” as we don’t feel qualified to officially offer support but more as a discussion and information sharing space.)

I Am AspienGirl: The Unique Characteristics, Traits and Gifts

There is a good deal of pseudoscience, which is okay to even mildly interesting; but the language around the pseudoscience was matter-of-fact more often than it offered a precursor of "according to [insert person and/or text here];” and some of the interview community input was hollow or didn't offer any viable "evidence" to the claim either. I was a quirky, smart, sometimes painfully awkward girl, and I've known many quirky girls and women in my lifetime. All of us grew and adapted; a few better than others, but not a single one of us would I label with Asperger's or autism. As a mental health clinician I see girls and women with a wide range of abilities and temperaments and issues, and perhaps one so far meets the criteria for ASD because she experiences actual impairment - not just discomfort - in various life domains. What good is it to label an entire range of girls and women who don't meet society's norms but still function well? Simone seems hell-bent, frankly, on doing just that, and I wonder, again, how this constructed identity (with a truly "heavy" clinical label of Austism now) helps people. Really, what's wrong with being "just quirky"? Another major problem for me, is how she lets the reader think that most Aspergirls have a major passion, are highly intelligent, and love technology. She doesn't literally say that EVERYONE is like this, but she jokes around about it a lot in a way that makes you think that really 90% of Aspergirls are like this. no. 3: This example is the best for me because, personally, I have never been able to figure out how to hug people. I understand that for some a hug is an offering of emotional support. But for me that is a hard thing to offer up as I myself feel uncomfortable while trying to give someone a hug because I dislike touching others and try to avoid it as much as possible. On April 25th, 2021, YouTube user Mox uploaded "The Adventures of APU n ASHBIE", which features Apu and Ashbie falling in love, and eventually marrying and having children. The video (shown below, left) received over 368,000 views in over one year. On May 13th, 2021, YouTube user blazeaster uploaded "Apu x Ashbie", which features Apu and Ashbie hanging out together. The video (shown below, right) received 47,000 views in over one year.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.

I’m not organized but I still organize where they go in categories… but I don’t organize them while they are IN those categories.

Get In Touch

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.

HR: Tania as you know, women as opposed to men are put in a much more difficult position when it comes to dating. What are some of the rules or advice you can give our Aspien females who are taking all of this in and also to the people who care for them, caring other parties whether they’re parents or friends or whoever, what kind of advice can you give them on dating? Guy: “I didn’t feel anything. All I learned from Romeo and Juliet is that it’s important to develop technology.”We recently had hardwood flooring fitted. Just noticed today that one bit had been undercut and filled with a sliver of wood that has now 'disappeared' (when the vacuum came out) and hence a big gap revealed that we didn't know about when we paid. My personal experience is that there are many times in my life I felt nothing while others had some standard deep emotional reaction to say, witnessing a death. I get upset about missing a routine. I feel compassion for others and want to help them, because that’s how I was raised. But if they die, I have no feeling at all except curiosity. marked impairment in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such as eye-to-eye gaze, facial expression, body postures, and gestures to regulate social interaction
