>increased empathy
huh?
If a woman is nice to you that means she's autistic.
Westerns only know one type of women.
Bitchy and Independent.
Apparently "autism = no empathy" is a misunderstanding. Autists have no social skills and as a result have difficulty reading other people and interpreting their mood, goals, relationship, etc. However, autists are actually MORE empathetic than the average individual, which is why they latch on to fictional characters so strongly.
It's like the difference between being literate vs reading comprehension.
Informative.
Its a misunderstanding of terminology, honestly. People with autism are bad at EMPATHY (putting themselves in the emotional or mental position of others) but tend to have above-average COMPASSION (caring about the feelings and wellbeing of others) in large part because while they have no social skills they still are social creatures who need emotional support and connections but are bad at making them.
Autists are also weirdly more ethical than average people because of their black and white logic brain, which is an important distinction that separates them from sociopaths and makes them each other's natural enemies. There was a great study that was done where people were given a choice to do something that would benefit themselves at the cost of someone else getting screwed over in a group setting with people who could hear their answer, and then a followup in private where they had the chance to change their answer in secret, but had to give a reason for their choice. Among neurotypicals there was like 3/10 people who would make the 'ethical' choice in public but change to be selfish in private, either admitting their selfishness outright or coming up with excuses why it was okay to change. But the autistic people who made the ethical choice in public universally kept their answer the same in private, with their choice description being some variation of "because it's still wrong".
It is partially because, when raised, children are being taught rules such as "don't harm others", "don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you" etc. Normal children soon start to understand, that all this rules are, actually, optional. Autists makethis rules hardwired in their heads and even high-functioning autists, despite sometimes understanding on logical level "the rules of appliance of the rules", still have this initial rules hardwired, making not following this rules "incorrect". That doesn't mean, that some of this rules aren't supported by emotional attachments (and those rules have additional reasons not to be broken), but the rest of the rules are followed because IT IS CORRECT to follow them, and it is good, when everything is correct. Quite a big event or big logical inconsistency, that leads to negative consequences, is required for "hardwired" rule to be undone.
Society unironically just works better if you have a handful of autists in it that you let float into the proper positions where you let their autism work for good. There is something immensely satisfying about reading reports about things like people trying to bribe autistic officers or whatever and they mostly just get confused by the attempt. Just "I'll give you $200,000 to look the other way on this" and then "...I don't understand why you thought that would work. Go to jail, idiot."
could work if you get the right group of them. /n/ has some based opinions on transportation but stick 5 of those randos into one room and it might get ugly
Knew a handful of people like that. They had very little regard for their family members, didn't care about having kids, and honestly didn't seem to care for their own lives either. But they had this extraordinary fixation on the "rules" being followed
An autist officer might be immune to bribery, but they'd also be hyper-focused on maintaining the law instead of realizing what is lawful may not necessarily be what is good
So batman was an autist?
Checks out
His brain probably slowly re-wired over time.
his forced constant iteration with his caregiver : Alfred.
He also had to change the way he interacted and the Bat-family(or members of the JU depending who we are talking about) As Batman he was actually more able to act. everything was black and white. Then Dick. he had to at least imitate a father figure to groom him into another tool for vengeance. That didn't work so well. Neither did his relationship with Selina. They were fine when the masks were on.
>"don't harm others", "don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you" etc. Normal children soon start to understand, that all this rules are, actually, optional.
Are you saying that "don't harm others" is an optional rule?
As well as "don't be a c**t"?
I mean, I suppose they are but society works better when people follow them.
That or you picked some bad examples of rules that shouldn't always be adhered to. Something like "don't talk to strangers" might've been better as you need to talk to strangers to get to know them.
You are told not to harm others. You realize some people will harm others and not be punished they might even get rewarded. So not only is it optional but by being selective with it you actually get ahead.
Don't play dumb. You know full well lots of people are c**ts and harm others and only ever get rewarded for it.
Yes and we live in a broken society with low social trust and cohesion because of it.
It's not a case of 'break the rule, no repercussion", it's a case of "break the rule, everything eventually goes to shit"
Fair enough.
It's optional in the sense that you can break it and get away with it, and in some cases it might even be strictly beneficial to you to do so. A kid might believe that you should be kind to others because it's always beneficial, and not being kind to others will always result in bad things. But you and I as adults know that people are dicks to others all the time and a lot of the time nothing bad (immediately) happens to them, and in fact sometimes being bad to other people can actually get you what you want.
As such a person's self interest, after observing this, might push them to discard those rules under certain circumstances. Whether being a dick in said circumstance is *actually* in their self interest is a separate matter. The point is that situations where otherwise moral people behave immorally usually arise when "the right thing to do" and "the right thing to do for me" happen to not line up in their mind. Autists on the other hand like to follow rules, they like to be *correct*. So a lot of the time, when an autist asks themselves "what is the right thing to do for me?" their answer will hew closer to what they believe is "the right thing to do", because what is right (as in good and beneficial) for them is to do the right (as in the proper and correct) things.
Or, normies are less evolved and get bogged down in group think and only apply the rules to about 15 people in their tribe or circle and break them for people outside of it l, making normal people destructive to the society as a whole while autistics are smart enough to know society can't function with a bunch of morons that break rules all the fricking time just because it involves a person that isn't their besty.
what makes you think autistic don't partake in group think? group think is straight up morally correct to them as long as it aligns with their values.
NTA, but i presume, that he means, that normalgays can't into global rules at all, it is always "this applies only to us, this applies only to them" override unless beaten with a stick (and this would't always work), whereas autustic people can distinct "this rule is for everyone" from "this rule is for my group" because rules are interpreted by them fully logically and never through instincts/emotions (hence normalgays' butthurt when autistic one completely ignores "tribal" unification by default at least until figuring out logically, that it is another normalgay strange irrational thing, that is to be considered as "black box" rule - you just know, that they will almost always consider any action hostile even when their teammate is clearly wrong).
>whereas autustic people can distinct "this rule is for everyone" from "this rule is for my group" because rules are interpreted by them fully logically and never through instincts/emotions
you got it backwards.
Autistics double down on "rules for everyone" because they feel they are "rules for my group". They don't reason these rules, the turn them into axioms and defend them to death because they lack the brain power to process a social environment where rules are tools to be used at convenience. They are their crutch.
N. 1 symptom of Autism is actually just having low IQ, only that it's not in the logical areas of the brain but the socio-cognitive areas. This is the main cause of most of their behavioral quirks, together with the far more unfortunate sensory overload.
because incels appropriate mental illnesses and project their shitty lives on them.
Turns out they forgot mentally ill women are prime sexual targets because being moronic also means you are easy to frick and this triggers incels to no end.
There's nothing weird about being consistent with ethics. Sure, it may be beneficial to change sides, but if you're willing to switch up your so-called-ideals that much that quickly, then you don't really have any ideals other than self-interest.
Very often it's not even just a 'learn the rules so you can break them' dynamic, it's pure say one thing and do another.
No matter how most people rationalize it, what it boils down to is that most people want others to follow the rules so they can benefit from both breaking the rules and other people keeping them.
It's just the Prisoner's Dilemma where people talk big about cooperation but betray when they can get away with it.
the definition of autism has expanded so much in the last few decades it's a complete joke now where literally everyone can be diagnosed as having it
This. I've never heard of anyone asking for an autism diagnosis and not receiving one. Even I got one, though the doctor went so far as asking what I was hoping to get out of it, before prefixing my diagnosis with 'atypical'.
You would say that
It means they have a nervous breakdown when a cartoon character they like gets bullied
I have autistic friends that indeed tear up over bad news with Nintendo or some other pop culture but have consistently failed to show empathy over relatives and friends going through hardship. Very weird cases.
>I have autistic friends that indeed tear up over bad news with Nintendo or some other pop culture but have consistently failed to show empathy over relatives and friends going through hardship. Very weird cases.
As an autist, this usually happens because I don't agree with why the person is upset. Like they lied and got in trouble. They fricked around and found out.
Sure I don't like that they are unhappy. But I have trouble with providing empathy to people who frick their own shit up.
Its one of many copes morons use for why ACTUALLY my mental illness is a good thing chud!!
In this case increased empathy=assigns simplistic emotions on everything even inanimate objects and paradelia faces regardless of any actual feeling ta-da you're an empath
>assigns simplistic emotions on everything even inanimate objects and paradelia faces regardless of any actual feeling
I presume it is because of inability to percept "social signals" from actual faces, which means, that actual faces = "imaginary" faces = everything else. Especially after hearing/reading fairy tales about living (but inanimate irl) objects. As initial "connection" to parents/other people, who care (read: do good things to) about person is based upon "it looks/sounds/feels good to me", affection toward anything will be based on the same principle too. And, as he doesn't see any difference between living and inanimate while also holding information, that moving, but not talking animals and even not moving and not talking plants are living too, inanimate objects tend to be percepted as living too, therefore being viable to applying same affection, that is applied to living objects.
tl;dr as living objects' signs of being "living" cannot be percepted because autism, everything is considered to be living, therefore everything is considered to have at least emotions and, maybe, minds.
Women by average are psychopaths.
>huh?
It means they care a lot more than the average person about other people
I'm just guessing, but it's probably just increased affective empathy, which is the tendency to mirror the emotions you believe people around you are displaying. This is something even dogs can do. Not to be confused with cognitive empathy, which is the ability to correctly interpret other people's thoughts and emotions - also known as emotional intelligence.
Does it make sense that both of these completely different things are called empathy? No, not even a little.
If she were hot, nobody would realize she was autistic. They'd just explain away all her little quirks. With the addition of modern feminists telling every woman every whim they have is an expression of mystical wisdom and always right, there's no hope what so ever.
I once caught a fish on a family outing and I was unable to handle the fact that when I looked into its' eyes, I saw my own eyes reflected back and was unable to continue, so the "increased empathy" thing is a real thing for autistic people, sometimes I will be trying to have an interaction with someone at a store or an office and will have a hard time getting out what I need to get out because the whole time part of my brain is dedicated to putting myself in their shoes and I'm judging myself from their viewpoint and it's really tough because it makes me look like I'm some kind of nutjob when I find it hard to focus on the task at hand.
Why do they need to be represented?
Sorry Star Butterfly isn't autistic even though she's your hecking self insert
>increased empathy
That is the ANTITHESIS of all I've ever heard associated with autism, who made this?
you should learn the difference between symptomatic and asymptomatic
also the list of signs for Autism in woman is almost the direct inverse of Autism in men for several reasons which is why for over 40 years "Only men could get autism"
>also the list of signs for Autism in woman is almost the direct inverse of Autism in men for several reasons which is why for over 40 years "Only men could get autism"
In what sense is it even worth calling them the same mental illness if the symptoms completely opposite of each other?
Who comes up with the crap?
>asymptomatic
IF ITS A MENTAL ILLNESS AND YOU SHOW NO SYMPTOMS FOR IT YOU DONT HAVE THE FRICKING MENTAL ILLNESS YOU STUPID Black person, STOP ROMANTICIZING BEING moronic
Frick women's autism. Irrelevant bullshit. Women cannot suffer
Lmao, “women’s autism” is the absolute opposite of autism
Why is it called autism then?
Okay so this isn't what people think. It basically just means that autistic people tend to be hit harder with emotions
That is sensitivity.
Empathy is an understanding of others, which autistic men and women both have a difficulty of achieving.
No dumbshit empathy is feeling what others feel, and it’s easy to imagine being unable to control your own emotions when someone you care for has a bad day.
Empathy is a scam. Everyone who gloats about it is a hypocrite who only applies it selectively.
There's a difference between empathy and sympathy.
I think you might be thinking sympathy.
No he's talking about people who say shit like "I'm an empath" but it's just a means of trying to make shit about themselves. So if they think there's an emotional moment happening, they can jump in and pretend they're feeling it too ontop of being emotionally intelligent enough on what to do.
Tina feels more autistic than Gayle, who I think is just kind of needy loser with bad coping mechanisms and enabling family.
>Tina feels more autistic than Gayle
Tina isn't autistic at all. She is a 13 year old girl.
>Empathy is a scam. Everyone who gloats about it is a hypocrite who only applies it selectively.
Indeed. I remember being at school and the teacher wanted us to do some useless priority list with words she had written on the blackboard: "Love", "Health", "Friendship", "Money", things like that. I was the only one who had "Money" as my number one, I had rationalized that the only thing I didn't have was money, so that should be my priority at the moment. I think everyone else had health or love as their number one.
Fast forward a few months, our teacher stopped talking and moving. I didn't even notice until some of my classmates left the classroom because I was looking at my exercise book waiting for the teacher to continue. I looked up and assumed she was epileptic. I got up, went to where she was sitting and started moving stuff lying on the ground so she wouldn't hurt herself in case she fell down. Suddenly, she started talking again, realized she had scared my classmates, apologized and continued the class.
Who was the only one who went to check on her? The "money-first" student. That's when I realized that people are unbelievably fake. Remember those classmates that left the class? They didn't leave to get help, they explained that they left because they didn't want to see the teacher die. How are we supposed to believe in a concept like "empathy" when nobody remembers it in a crisis situation?
and people legitimately say they don't understand how we commit genocide. like, what frickin cotton candy house have you been living in
the reason i try to be nice is for my own peace of mind. there are rules for how you should treat another person, but i don't believe that i can truly "feel" what the other person is feeling. when i found out i was autistic i was shocked to learn that people literally feel what the other person feels. it still sounds like bullshit to me. i still think empathy is something made up by steven oy gevalt spielberg
>when i found out i was autistic i was shocked to learn that people literally feel what the other person feels. it still sounds like bullshit to me. i still think empathy is something made up by steven oy gevalt spielberg
what do you do internally when you read a book or watch a movie and characters have feelings?
Average people, and even many autistic people imagine the thing happening to them, feel the feel, and then realize the other person is feeling that feeling.
It's not entirely a scam but I agree that the people who invoke empathy the most are usually the one who are most selective with it.
people with autism have a hard term empathizing but are aware that they should empathize with people
so they end up overcompensating if they are high enough on the spectrum to feel ashamed of their autism
It's a euphamisim to say that neurotypical women are manipulative psychopaths.
It's autism in WOMEN. Double negative rules apply.
Ask yourself: how much did you about autism learn here?
Both autists and ADHDers (which are so closely related that people are frequently diagnosed with both) are well-known to be compassionate and moral to a fault even with their underdeveloped social skills, which is a big part of why they are so commonly taken advantage of. They may not fully grasp why a person feels a certain way, but they are greatly affected by the emotion itself, often to a far higher degree than a neurotypical person could imagine. They can easily "absorb" a person's happiness or sadness, and they often have great trouble ignoring human suffering. Many can be easily convinced to help others even when it's greatly detrimental to themselves.
Like, a kind neurotypical shopkeep may be convinced to donate to charity or give free goods for a cause. A autistic/ADHD shopkeep could potentially give half their store away to people they barely know unless they have a wrangler to protect them.
>when a woman has interest and empathy she is autistic
yeah
Ladies, is it autistic to be kind towards others?
Yes, so remember, every nice woman in your life is autistic and every mean woman is a normie.
>Yes, so remember, every nice woman in your life is autistic and every mean woman is a normie.
I mean...that's probably true
You can't represent a whole group with one character.

I read a book recently called "Unmasking Autism" which was by a PhD holding zipper breasts on the spectrum. She (the author uses male pronouns but they have XX chromosomes so I am using she) made a big point about how autistic individuals are gullible because of their desire to fit in and lowered ability to read when they are being manipulated. To prove this point she went into detail about how autistics are drawn into organizations such as religious cults or right wing ideology because the only per-requisite to join was having the right belief. Then someone is automatically given an in and a group that was supposedly supporting them even as it took greater and greater advantage of them and gave little or nothing back. The irony of the situation and the extreme parallels to transgenderism were completely lost on the author of course.
Interesting if true.
Honestly, she sounds pretty autistic.
they also have higher rates of adhd
>unexplainable
Well. For starters, it is worth pointing out that most autistic people are not trans or any LGTBWFUWhatever.
But there is still a disproportionate representation of autism among trans people when comparing the total numbers of both groups.
This however isn't terribly shocking. Primarily due to two factors. Well, three, but the third factor is honestly terribly overstated by sensationalist ideologues and literal anti-autist groups, and is far less significant than the other two reasons.
Anyhow.
1; Autistic people are significantly more resistant towards gender roles than neurotypicals are. Be they male or female. This doesn't mean they're gay, trans, nonbinary or any of that jumble It just means that the social roles in whatever society they may live in, like many other social rules (simple stuff like eye contact and whatever else, etc, etc, same principle) aren't quite as obvious and aren't just naturally absorbed and learned. This, combined with a slew of other reasons, typically leaves the typical autistic person living more after what they perceive as "effective" more so than tying themselves to any particular gender role. Unless they perceive said gender role to be particularly convenient given their surroundings or whatever.
And for the added trivia, this is why autistic girls have such a disproportionate tomboy representation. Fact of the matter is, if you ignore all gender roles, male or female, the "neutral" is far more male role aligned that's why so many autistic girls end up living more like boys and even getting wrapped up in typically boy oriented interests or hobbies.
Granted that some autistic people have a tendency to really lean into their gender role. But when they do, they often go above and beyond even compared to the typical neurotypical, but even in these cases it's often more of an active choice because they have grown to like the role. But most are indeed resistant to gender roles.
2; Autistic people are, for a lot of reasons, far more introspective than the average person.
Being introspective does in no way make you gay or trans or whatever, but if you are even the tiniest bit gay or gender dysmorphic. An introspective person would be far more likely to notice it, amplifying these feelings or elements.
And this has a synergetic effect alongside reason 1, where even though neither makes one gay or trans, reason 1 often leaves people feeling like they don't quite belong with or don't quite care for their expected gender role. Then if they look inwards when introspection, for whatever the reason, and sense any kind of gay or dysmorphic feelings, the lack of a gender role they actually care for, leaves them far more susceptible and responsive towards these feelings. When this is amplified, you've got a troon or a gay.
Then there is the third reason. Which is group pressure and group influence. But this reason really is over sensationalized. It makes for good headlines, because the thought of X group being after your kids or X group being predatory. Always riles up people.
But the truth isn't as simple as autistic people being more susceptible. They are simultaneously more and less susceptible and it really depends on a whole wide array of different contexts. A lot of influence downright doesn't bite on autistic people at all. A lot of modern day marketing barely fazes autists, and then there are other promos that can easily hook them far more strongly than for a neurotypical.
And for sure, the influence of group pressure and belonging is real. But if not for reason 1 and 2, this particular group pressure would hardly be particularly effective. Meaning that reason 1 and 2 are the primary reasons while reason 3 is secondary at most.
>now
Think it's just cause the board still doesn't have that many weeks,but i'm sure we'll get more poc characters soon enough
And hornies
Estrogen is devastating the autism community like crack did the black community in the 80's.

Yeah, he cute though.
Would do mouth stuff with
all female autists are either quirky girls or FtMs.
true, but from my experience ftms can be fixed since they usually dont full commit
It really should be mandatory to list at least 5 cartoons when you make broad generalizations like this. I can only think of 1 autistic female cartoon character, and that's June Chen from Molly Mcgee. Everyone else like Peridot or Entrapta or Marcy Wu or Dendy are just fandom headcanons. I bet anon isn't even referencing any actual cartoons, he just wanted an excuse to argue about the validity of female autism.
Daria
The entire invader Zim cast
Mandy, Billy, and Grim
Jeff from Clarence
Once again, those are headcanons. They're not the intention of the creators, therefore they shouldn't be judged as if it's supposed to be proper representation
Maxwell Atoms said on his Tumblr that Billy, Mandy and Grim are canonically autists/aspies.
billy: moronic
mandy: b***h
simple as
mandy clearly was born fricked up. so somewhere on the spectrum
NTA, but I think it's dumb as hell to claim that grim or Billy are autistic.
Billy is just a straight up moron, and grim is ironically the most normal and well adjusted "person" in the entire series despite being the literal avatar of death.
It's implied that Daria is autistic in the final episode
I think the creators of Netflix She-Ra said that Entrapta was an autist, but like many things said about the show-characters ex post facto it'd be wise to take it with a grain of salt
>obsession usually overrides her moral compass
>little sense of self-preservation

If it was legit, I wonder which traits were intended to be the autistic ones
Ashlyn (red-haired) from Scool Bus Graveyard.

Ironically it is a sign of a mental problems in woman within modern societies. Last several decades feminism was in the rise, which could only be achieved through violence, verbal or physical. Provided that women are mostly too weak for physical one, going full toxic was the only way.
Kind woman, that is not "mentally challenged", can only be raised inside a very isolated community under very specific conditions, and even that would be at least partially undone on first contact with "normal" civilisation.
Just like my Japanese doujins.
>Last several decades feminism was in the rise, which could only be achieved through violence, verbal or physical.
You guys have so much brain rot you just make shit up. You make it sound like feminist were the French resistance in WW2 and were shooting frickers and blowing up rail lines.
Angry women isn't all even even mostly causes by feminism. Women are mostly just selfish buttholes because there isn't a filter to remove them. Men will frick anyone hot. Until recently you just smacked a mean woman. If she tried to slap you back you decked her. But...she still birthed more butthole kids.
Most of the wretchedness of women is the fault of men if only because men will have children with any woman with curves. If men selected based on behavior this shit would have fixed itself in a couple 100 years.
women are wicked and two faced instinctively. they have to be as the weaker sex. well meaning, naive women just get taken advantage of by dark triad chads.
whenever guys on Cinemaphile describe women like zoo animals that they must research to understand the more obvious it becomes why you're a virgin

Only happens with fictional women. Real life autistic women are often on the ugly side. Men will frick, marry, and defend with their lives any attractive woman that gives them attention (even if said attention only exist on their imagination) no matter if the woman is a cannibal, autistic, or a literal monster wearing the skin of a human, as long as it's cute men will simp for her until their dying breaths
>often on the ugly side
Go ahead and link your source for this claim
Only happens if the autistic woman is high functioning and hot like that one girl from real genius. Most autistic women are like fat cat ladies that are married to some sociopath that yells at them. You see them all the time. Frumpy unkempt cat ladies. You don't notice them because they are not hot

You owe ME money
Ok name your price

One thing that being on social media for any more than five minutes seems weird to me
Why the frick is everyone so ultra proud of how autistic they are and willing to tell you how autistic they are as much and s loud as possible?
Misuse of the word, like what happens here.
Being ashamed and quiet about it just leaves you open to manipulation by bad actors that will advocate to abuse and manipulate you under the guise of a cure or guilt you to death for hating the sounds pencils make and politely asking to use a damn pen.
Loud and proud is our only recourse if we want to be free to obsess over train schedules in peace.
Oppression Olympics
Everyone on twitter has to be the mostest oppressed tortured minority that ever lived. Even if they are a wealthy white person living in Burbank, they have to be a part of the in group of people who have been marginalized.
Did a Cinemaphilener write that? It's fits you gays' "EVERYTHING IS AUTISM" obsession.
Yeah. It’s like a horoscope, written so vaguely that it can apply to nearly anyone who reads it. That’s the problem with most adhd or autism memes.
>eats dinner but hates having things that a taste bad

How accurate was it? Didn't watch S2
She was relevant for five minutes in her introduction episode and it was VERY accurate and then she fricked off into the ether.
S2 was shit, so avoid it.
An anon in another thread made a comment about her that I thought was pretty apt:
>Honestly Libby felt more like an autism rep than June was. June was ironically more social than Libby was, in fact from this one frame alone + Darryl she actually has the most on screen "friends". June is the autism wish fulfillment, the confident hyper genius who can get away with being a know it all, whereas Libby is the more realistic portrayal of the weird sheltered shy kid who's just a little "off" - the whole "Bloodhound of Truth" gimmick feels way more autistic than anything June does. Plus Libby has more pronounced special interests - turtles, books, history, conspiracy theories, "investigating" things. June's technological prowess is more of a punchline than an actual character trait, Libby is passionate about these things whereas June just sees hacking into every security camera in Brighton as some trivial task.
Accurate but she's also a c**t.
Most autists are, that's why you get 'bullied' so much.
>Acts like a c**t
>"B-But I'm SPECIAL NEEDS so it's okay!"
Very accurate.
>Every female autist I've met is just kind of shittier and hornier
We had representation, but she flew too close to the sun.
Ya know, no one would've thought there was a problem with this if she didn't admit to being a pedo about it.
It was clearly a self-deprecating joke and the story was likely heavily embellished. It’s like someone talking about how they’re such a fatass they just ate an entire truckload of shrimp. They definitely did not eat an entire truckload and chances are they may not even be fat.
Nte
But is Sounds more like her earnest and weird fantasizing than anything, which is kind of weird.
At a minimum I wouldn't want her to be around kids.
She probably thought he was cute in the way that he was the kind of person she would have had a crush on when she was a preteen. If she was serious about stalking him I doubt she’d publicly write about it.
She’s also had a long term bf in his 50’s which is the exact opposite direction. You’d think she’d at least go for a 20 year old twink.
Why is girl autism a quirky thing but guy autism just means he's never going to score and will maybe shoot up a school.
Basically there's two types of autism that's beneficial for either gender.
The hyper-fixated autism with quriks that's endearing in women and creepy in men.
and then there's the hyperfocused STEM driven autism necessary for software/engineers that's useful in men but resentful in women
A lot of men here are cursed with the former
You don't even have to be hyperfocused for software, just any kind of autistic. Computers and programming languages in particular were made by autistic people in the first place, we just have a natural advantage with them because its just a kind of thinking we are naturally fluent in. Some people think in for loops and if statements, others don't.
>Why are traits valued differently across genders?
You could write a wholeass dissertation on it, not just limited to autism
The imaginary version of autistic girl is basically a manic pixie dream girl. She’s not real. Actual autistic women suck as much as autistic men do. You know the fat girl who dressed like a moron and was waaaaay too into horses and all those weird horse-based chapter books? Or how about the girl with the frizzy ponytail and fricked up teeth who talks too loudly, and tells a story that goes on for way too long about the different colors you can choose for braces?
Nerds who fantasize about “autistic women” completely overlook the actual autistic women around them because they don’t fit their imaginary mold of the cute quirky girl who is only awkward when it’s fun.
Both of those descriptions sound hot as frick tho
>talks too loudly, and tells a story that goes on for way too long
a typical woman?
I'm autistic and had an autistic gf at one point. can confirm she was very into horses
The majority of autistic women are unironic tomboys. By no means are all tomboys autistic, but the good majority of all autistic women are however tomboys.
All the crap pertaining to the to traditional femininity and womanhood is stuff that autists, be they men or women, have very little patience for. Fashion garbage. Superficial appearances. Social pettiness and decor.
It's not like autistic women tend to reject their femininity or anything. But they tend to gravitate towards living much more like men, including fancying more traditionally masculine hobbies. Since it makes more logical sense to live that way. Then they just adopt the low effort feminity stuff, while begrudgingly adopting whatever level of high effort femininity stuff they need to get through life most easily. Even if preferably they'd ignore it altogether if their circles allow for it.
I've worked at a school that specialized in guiding and educating autistic students, with a focus on highschool dropouts in particular. Autistic girls are very real. No they aren't manic pixie dream girls. But it was tomboy central.
> The majority of autistic women are unironic tomboys.
No, but that seems to be part of the fantasy.
You're wrong though.
I dated the horsegirl you described in highschool, only she was ultra-skinny despite her dogshit diet.
Also ultra ultra pale, like you can see her veins and arteries through her skin pale, because she hid away from the sun.
She would sometimes sperg out about this thing called "breyer horses" and if I let her finish her monologue she'd reward me with sex.
It was neat.
What's breyer horses?
A type of model horse sculpture autistic women like.
Pretty much gunpla for horsegirls, they have big convention for it every year and everything
>Why is girl autism a quirky thing but guy autism just means he's never going to score and will maybe shoot up a school.
Halo effect. Male autists can get it too. A hot autistic man is just brooding, mysterious, passionate, etc.
>increased empathy
no
>tfw qt autism gf
It's the closest thing you can get to that "tomboys are for....." copypasta in real life but not quite
>but not quite
what do you mean?
It's not this image but it's along the same lines, the copypasta states tomboys are the ideal girlfriends because they don't think like normal women but closer to men, they like male hobbies and feel more like a friend with boobs and vegana. It's something like that, she's passionate about her weird(by female standards) interests and she's easy to talk to, feels like a weird friend but she's still a cute girl with boobs and vegana.
>girls liking girly things is gay
Having to put up with a girl's girly interests is a drain (her shitty shows)
A tomboy frees you from this.
>letting a woman's taste in consoomer media prevent an otherwise compatible and healthy relationship
And you wonder why you're alone
Tomboygays reduce people to only their interests
you need to date a trans man, because you are not attracted to women you're attracted to men and veganas.I would date a trans woman, because I am attracted to women, and I slightly prefer penises over veganas (even though I like both).
Someone who finds "girly things" obnoxious needs to come to terms with the fact that they do not find women to be emotionally attractive, they just find veganas and boobs to be sexually attractive, and women are the packaging that those desirable things come with. If you feel that way, you really need to just admit you don't think women are attractive at all. Take their power away!
You sound pretty gay bro
I know you just mean that as an insult, but I don't really care. I'm bisexual, I've dated cis women, trans women, and cis men (I've never had the opportunity to date a trans woman) and I can tell you with some amount of certainty that most 'heterosexual' men do not find women to be attractive at all, and do not want to be around them, they just want vegana and boobs and ass and lips, and everything else about a woman is plastic packaging that they would want to throw away, and at best they grow to become tolerant and familiar with the once-irritating sounds and influences of this thing that they are now burdened with, like some kind of sick elderly dog. It's alright! Just say you're not attracted to women! Stop giving women the wrong impression that you actually like them, and just state up top and right off the bat that you just want to use their body parts to cum.
That's sounds pretty gay bro
It's alright, anon, I know this kind of stuff is difficult for you. I'm proud of you for trying.
That sounds pretty gay bro
>I’ve dated…trans women
>I’ve never had the opportunity to date a trams woman
Oh excuse me, I meant cis women, trans MEN, a cis man, I accidentally counter-trans'd a trans person like I had an UNO reverse card lol
What?
I just wrote "trans women" instead of "trans men", the two that I dated were men who had veganas, not women with penises.
Anon, men have penises and women have veganas.
incorrect. Go leave. That's the brain rot quarantine zone.
But I didn't say anything /misc/ related?
Stop having, brainworms, not everybody who disagrees with you is a schizo.
transphobia isn't welcome here, go back home and listen to blood and soil shit or whatever people like you do.
I only really listen to videogames soundtracks, mashups with videogame soundtracks in them, and videogame soundtracks remixes.
But I don't really understand what my taste is music has to do with this.
Oh yeah, death grips is also cool.
>death grips
Is that the band with le meme beard black man?
What genre is it?
I don't really know much about music but their stuff sounds cool.
I have slop taste remember.
Your definition of a woman being someone who is into stereotypically “girly things” is shallow and problematic.
No, there's a difference between a real person and the social concept of what that kind of person is. The type and the stereotype. "A sword" and this specific sword I have in my hand.
You of all people should be breaking down what those social concepts are. Saying that most cis men are not actually attracted to women because they are not into “girly things” places nullifies the identity of those who identify as women who are also not into those “girly things”.
Do better.
Wow, it's almost like troons base their
entire perception of the sex they want to be off of sterotypes and make their entire persona a caricature.
>I would date a [...]man, because I am attracted to[...] penises
FTFY
You can be attracted to whatever type of adult you want, anon, but don't beat around the bush about what you want in life.
why do you homosexuals want to destroy the concept of tomboy
Because you don't actually want a tomboy. You want a guy that isn't really a guy, which is still gay
What's a tomboy in your mind?
A girl who is a bit sporty and has a quirk or two that isn't very feminine, but still acts like and is clearly a woman. You're the one extrapolating that to "a guy but with breasts and a pussy so it isn't gay if i frick them"
because 'tomboy' is something you're using to ignore your latent homosexuality and you'll literally be happier and less anxious and hateful once you actually internalize truths about yourself.
I've been asked out by women before, but always said no for those exact reasons
They're super pretty, but I just don't enjoy their company. Kinda considering to try and find a scrawny dude, but I also don't like anal
At this point I have accepted I'll die alone
try a trans guy. That way you get someone you can stand to be around, and you get to have sex with a vegana. But you have to be honest about what you want, and that's probably going to make most people not want to have sex with you
Transmen are bottomless pits of insecurity that try to cover up with dudebro attitudes and bad haircuts. I've never met one who made for good company, and talking with them feels like pulling teeth. The only time I've had one talk at a reasonable level, she was gushing over me and my own traits.
"she"
Yes.

That's not autism, that's stupidity.
Autists follow rules when they are logical, if they see a tiny minuscule mistake, they point it out. Same with patterns.
>Special interests
Is that why every woman I've ever talked to who had any opinions about anime or video games was a weirdo spaz?
Because most people associate it with moronism.
But you are moronic for real, Boco.
Also, shut up.
Well, borderline maybe.
Women can't have autism because it's a man disease.
Just like how men can't have bpd, a woman disease.
Trying too hard, being afraid to talk about certain things, overfixating on other things, trying to represent a spectrum that is stupidly broad with a single person.
The best representation of any group is always done on accident.
correct
I genuinely can't name any autistic character's in any Cinemaphile media
Max from mary and max was a decent portrayal.
Is Mei from Turning Red autistic? I kind of thought she might be because of the teaser where she melts down in school but in context of the movie it makes sense.
no she has friends that love her
Mostly extremely gay, if it’s an adult cartoon they usually make safe jokes, if it’s a kids one they put them on a pedestal and make it seem like a super power.
Autistic people have a desire to feel and express empathy, but as their mental models of other people are not accurate, in practice they end up seeming as though they lack empathy.
Normalgays are just sociopaths who lack empathy entirely though.
who's more autistic than Entrapta? I would say Gayle from bob's burgers but she seems self aware enough despite her eccentric behavior.
Reagan is pretty autistic but she doesn't need to be carried around on a leash so Entra still wins
Real autistic women are not like this dogshit character from this troony show.
Autistic people are NOT people that keeps happy and hyped for no reason and see magic and rainbows everywhere.
this person jacks off to entrapta anyway and then goes and listens to vexagon
As a bibawd, I've dated both autistic men and women. Both are fun, but I personally believe autistic people would be far happier dating autistic people. Autistic men and women are so fricking similar in reaction when the mask is off, the only difference is experience masking. Most of my autistic exes were abused by normals. I'm friends with most of them, still. I'm dating a fellow normal now.
>I personally believe autistic people would be far happier dating autistic people
Too much of a mismatch to work. Not even autistic women tolerate autistic men
Well most autistic women are just bitter failed normies.
Can women even be failed normies? If they don't fit the general woman mould then they still get men clamouring for a sexy tomboy or quirky e-girl or shy bookworm girl or goth girl or smelly femcel hacker girl
All those things you listed are diferent flavors of failed normie girl
>bitter
stop projecting
Fellow normal or normal fellow?
why would you want to date anyone much less an autist?
I don't care about most representation of autism because most of these writers are shit at writing to begin with.
>Women act like human beings only if they have autism
What did they mean by this
That they can and will use logic instead of instincts and emotions only when forced to, for example autism.
That is stupidity, caused by more intense variation of autism - you have to follow the rules - rules in each situation do not contradict each other, as each door is its own encounter, separated from another.
More than that, there is a chance, that someone is doing something with the first door at the moment, than switched to the other door, than back to the first etc, which means, that he would be standing behind each door in turns. More that that, it could be a person, who has intentionally placed both redirecting rules for his own reasons.
And for breaking this cycle a special procedure is required to knock at the door and ask about both or to have a recognition of a potentially endless loop and have a rule of handling that. Which autistic person might not have. Not to mention, that there also could be rule of "don't disturb us with your stupid questions", which, as "if question is stupid or not" situation is unsolvable", can lead to "always try to handle the situation yourself" mode, which, in turn, might be unsolvable because, as i have mentioned earlier, person might not have correct procedures to handling previously unencountered situations with technically not contradicting rules, that is only contradicting within "big picture", which by default doesn't exist for autistic person before he would learn to always try and connect several problems in one to see, if there is bigger problem.
My girlfriend is autistic, certifiably so
At times she feels more like my daughter than my partner
>this whole thread
Maybe you guys really are autistic too
YouTube for some reason seems obsessed with showing me videos made by teenagers with 100 views
I always, very gently, tell them to see a psychiatrist
>the Right thinks autism is made up and you should pull up your bootstraps
>the Left thinks autism is not an excuse and you should be crucified for being white and male
>Autistics themselves have an inferiority complex about people "infantalising autism" and are constantly shaming themselves for not being normal enough and collecting squishmallows or stimming with fidget toys
Where do I go for support?
remember Fight Club, where they had support groups for dudes who lost their balls to cancer, incest survivors, people with brain parasites and so on?
they have groups like that for autists too
Where roughly are you from, anon? I knew a few groups in the UK from my work, but not so sure about the international scene.
we had to get one non-autistic organiser of a mixed-age group at a local library to stop bringing out lego sets just because it was for autistic people, thats just what they want right?
It turned out some of the group DID want lego to play with, but not all. Its always better to ask first!
Whatever you do don't go to discord for help
That's how (you) end up chopping off your wiener and committing an hero
The fact you're using anime reaction images is already a bad sign
Move to a albanian town called Maliq
Act local, think global Anon, if you can't find local groups to meet with, sometimes the journey starts by helping others and maybe starting a support group yourself. It'd be hard, challenging, and lonely at times, but I think the rewards of it (the support you need and the support others would get from you and other members) would be worth it.
No man is an island. Go find geek groups or go to geek related events and start talking to people. I know you want support groups, but it's better to build yourself a group of like-minded freaks to commiserate with.
>Go find geek groups or go to geek related events and start talking to people.
those people want to be left alone with their established friend groups. especially if you're some random dude.
>Go find geek groups or go to geek related events and start talking to people.
Not that anon. And I did make friends by going to minor and local YGO and MtG drafts and tournaments. Unfortunately that was somewhat expensive so I kind of gave it up. Didn't want to give up videogames to continue purchasing cardboard. I do miss it though.
But even if I got back into it. Maybe it wouldn't be the same now that I am in the middle of my thirties instead of a teenager.
Yeah this advice is great if you're a kid, less so if you're a late 20s uggo with no social skills.
Autism is when ur brain stop developing at early age, women naturally are big children so it doesnt make any difference.
Honestly? People focus on the positives and forget the negatives and the fact it is at the end of the day a debilitating handicap at severe levels not just "being quirky and not getting social ques" or *stares into a snowglobe*, like the whole physical aspect of fricked up senses (Not just oversenistivity but reduced as well) and abnormal brain activity isn't really something you see.
It is also often that the message is "Just grin and bear them" rather then helping actually interacting with autists/spergs (Like noting clear communication and that you should just tell them blankly if you are getting annoyed or don't wanna hear their 'tism rant instead of being "polite" until you explode because they won't stop and can't see you are annoyed by bodylanguage) and the idea that they always get super hurt if you say no to them when they are being "extra" (not actually true in a lot of cases) and you have to let them walk al over them with their "quirkiness".
Female characters in particular already get hit with the "quirky bat" more often so they can be LE QUIRKY WAIFU.
I've been diagnosed with ASD and was lucky enough to get a high-speed brain like my dad.
It's fricked how many people don't realize that the reason I'm able to solve certain problems really quickly or even at all is because I literally don't think the same way as everyone else.
Thank you, yes, it helps to know when I'm being overbearing. If I knew I was being overbearing, I would have stopped. I've gotten good at gauging things, but I spoke to one woman I believe has autism and I had to tell her
>"I'm sorry, but you've been talking for two hours and I literally can't process what you're saying any more."
It's useful for 'boring math work' if you luck out, but so many people with autism are literally caught up in their own world and need to be yanked out from time to time for their own good. That's just how the world works.
Does autistic just refer to anyone not following societal norms these days.
>Scripting
What does this word mean in this context?
Prepared responses like greetings or how to respond to generic ice breakers such as a favorite movie.
I always ask for BBQ sauce in fastfood restaurants because the cashier always makes a big deal about how it's a free dip and you just gotta pick one.
It's fun doing it back to them
It really throws them off anf fricks with their rhythm
My sister does this all the time and I hate it
Stop making me feel like a freak for saying "Oh I listen to Taylor Swift"
If it makes you feel any better we do it to show affection
From what I understand, it's latching onto phrases and then repeating them frequently regardless of context.
You know how telephone responses from companies have a standardized
>Hello this is Company X's Y Service, my name is Bob how can I help you?
Autistic people memorize methods like this to handle conversations they deal with often. In fact, I'd say it's why we prefer routine- because we don't have to prep a new explanation for what we're doing and why.
>Autistic people memorize methods like this to handle conversations they deal with often.
M-most people don't...?
Anon, we may have some news for you…
People have some preprogrammed small-talk, but not entire conversations.
Like when you're paying a cashier and she says "thank you for shopping at X" and you respond with "thanks, you too" because you're expecting "Thank you, have a nice day."
But that's just being civil during routine interactions, it's not an entire conversation.
That unironically sounds like the perfect woman what the frick?
>not autistic enough for the autists
>not enough of a normalc**t for the normalc**ts
>completely solitary lifestyle for over a decade
a special kind of hell. guess i'm just your typical loser/frickup/loner.
same, kinda. I just don't have the drive to seek people out
I have the drive just lack the know how.
I went to the places with people but the people are talking to other people, therefore I can't talk to them right?
nowadays? probably not no. people are more closed off than ever and just stick to their phones and established social groups. unless you're exceedingly attractive its difficult to chat up random people.
Yeah but even 14 years ago when I was still unable to square that gap and recognize how to enter conversations with other people.
Sign up for meetup groups. People literally go to those things to meet other people so at least you know it’s not weird to talk to a stranger.
Volunteer with organizations or establishments you like. When you have a responsibility, it’s easier to chat with people since it’s often part of the gig and volunteering is kind of a fast pass to becoming part of a community. It doesn’t have to be soup kitchens and shit. You can help out with film screenings or indie music venues or museums or…
meetup groups still exist? i thought everyone just used hookup apps.
It still exists. Hookup apps are for fricking. Meetup groups can sometimes lead to that but it isn’t the expectation.
aren't meetup groups just for fat, ugly, or old people?
Yes, that's why it's perfect for you
i'm good just staying alone then i guess. feels like sex and relationships are strictly for beautiful people nowadays. its whatever, been alone my entire life so i'm used to it. might as well die a virgin if i've made it to 31 already.
Yeah, I mean the number of people who have died a virgin historically is pretty low, so you'd be in a way more exclusive club if you died old and a virgin without having been castrated or anything like that, go for it, man, it's better to be one of a very small and exclusive number than to pay for sex when you're like 39 years old and be at the bottom of a very, very large barrel
Hang in there, anon. If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat as you and will be 36 this year.
If you were hot fit and young, meeting people wouldn’t be a struggle.
good to know my self hatred is justified i guess.
Don't get yourself down, just go to one, if you cant bother to look for one you obviously don't want to go.
And if you're too anxious just take meds.
>take meds to cope with the nightmare reality that is being unattractive in modern society
thanks doc.
Non-autismos do it too, don't think you're special because you have the trendy mental illness
If anxiety really is crippling, just take meds, and if you're ugly that just means you have to put in more effort.
If you aren't willing to put in effort why ask for help.
i never asked for this pointless life. easy to be condescending when you're in a place of privilege and can't relate i guess.
Frick you, I have autism too you sperg.
You don't see me giving up.
Life won't hand you anything, especially if you're ugly and autistic.
So fricking working you mogoloid, and if you don't want to put in effort and will dismiss yourself I have no idea why you ask for help if you aren't even willing to try.
why would an unattractive man try dating in the hellscape that is the modern dating market? unless you've got a big social group irl and are extremely extroverted its a fool's errand.
If you never try at all you'll get nowhere, and if you don't want to try you clearly don't want companionship that much.
No matter what life is full of suffering and heartbreak, better to try a chance at happiness that wallow in self pity.
i don't want to try because i have eyes and am not delusional i guess. my fault.
You seem pretty delusional, you haven't actually resigned yourself to being where you are forever, you think hey maybe the world will shit out a reward for me being a patient good boy. Pick a lane
I mean I spend all day smoking dabs and playing videogames and jerking off, so don't feel bad about not being able to get a date at all. I was married and had threesomes and now I'm divorced and I'm not doing any better than you are, so just take some solace in not having to do any of that bullshit. It legitimately isn't worth it, the chances of having a long-lasting emotionally fulfilling romantic partnership is like winning the lottery, it isn't going to happen and while I wouldn't go back in time and tell my younger self to stay a virgin, a version of me who was wouldn't be meaningfully worse off.
Don't hate yourself, it isn't your fault. Sex and romance is software designed for PCs and there's patches to help it run on Mac, but you're running Android and there's just not really anything anyone can do about that. It's not a moral factor, you just can't expect a fish to fly, even if there are a couple species of flying fish.
i mean no. it is definitely my fault for making the conscious effort of not killing myself. preferably when i was young.
yes the mental illness of being an ugly sub 6ft male. truly grim.
So you're not even autistic? You're just lurking in an autism thread hoping to snatch a qt autisma?
lel
no the discussion veered off to talking to people in public and then dating after i said i'm not autistic enough for the autists and not normal enough for normalc**ts.
So you're not autistic, you're a failed normie and now you're trying(and failing) to land an autisma?
Well at least you're not a pedophile, I guess
there are zero non troon autistic women in this thread or on this board. even if there were a few they're in relationships. so i have no idea why you're having a meltdown over imaginary impossible scenarios.
>you're having a meltdown
>having this little self-awareness
I take it back, maybe you are autistic
Where do I find indie music venues?
There’s a world of information at your fingertips, anon. Put forth the tiniest bit of effort.
I have, it never pans out. All the things I look forward end up being dead ends or mainstream music venues.
personally I have completely given up, I am not the correct shape psychologically or emotionally or culturally and I am just going to spend the rest of my life alone, but instead of being a black pill doomer I'm just going to sit under the tree and breathe fresh air and see what the universe has waiting for me.
hey, you mentioned that it would be better if people told you when you are talking too much and being annoying?I'm sure you are high functioning enough to infer where i am going with this.
and you really do not need to use a line break every single sentence, or make ever post at least 5 sentences long

Oh my god the horror
Are you morons lost?
Why do people get mad every time the subject of autistic women get brought up?
Because despite their handicap they manage to land husbands while autistic guys(overly represented in Cinemaphile, formerly Cinemaphile) can't even get a girl's number
Ok but why fault them for the unfairness of life? Women in general have a lot of things easier than men, but the autistic ones are the rare group who should be able to relate to you more
women and men have nothing in common. women and men cannot be friends. stop this meme.
>women and men cannot be friends. stop this meme.
Yeah that’s just kinda sad man. Says a lot about yourself if you can’t connect with somebody enough that the only thing you want to do with them is frick them

i'm 31.
Sure thing sweetheart.

you are truly fricking moron if you think we actually care, this is why women hate you
women hate ugly, submissive men. simple as.
>announcing you're underage
you have to be over 40 to post here
Precisely because of the "you owe me sex" mentality, normies take it as a meme, autists take it at face-value
So when an autisma dates a normie autismos feel betrayed because "it was supposed to be me"
Just look at the vitriol of the reply you got before mine, that's a man who has seen it happen at least a dozen times already
Because anon is resentful that all the detriments holding him back don't matter in the slightest in their context. Anon is Kaga, Femtists are the X-men
In simple, most autistic women get life in easy mode (in rich countries), think Komi, while autistic men get demonized. Autism in females is seen as cute and quirky, but in men it is seen as crazy and creepy.
>Autism in females is seen as cute and quirky, but in men it is seen as crazy and creepy.
Maybe men attitude is the reason no decent women want them. If you cant connect with someone because of gender youre the problem. You should have just posted this to MGTOW. Thats seems to be your safe place for this bullshit

Using the same term to describe different phenomenon makes people in general frustrated, but ironically hyper fixation is a common symptom of autism. So to having "autism" itself be poorly defined is like pouring water on an oil for.
>Oil for
*Oil fire
>Using the same term to describe different phenomenon makes people in general frustrated
The only symptom from the OP people disagreed with was "increased empathy", the other traits are shared across both genders. And even then, the symptoms could be different due to the difference in socialization and gender roles
>And even then, the symptoms could be different due to the difference in socialization and gender roles
Maybe.
But the fact remains that autism in women is hard to detect and diagnose without changing your focus or lens. And that in itself is the point of contention.
I’m not personally mad. I just think the fantasy that anons have of what an autistic girl is actually like is just that…a fantasy. I’m pretty sure most guys who fantasize about having an autistic gf have either never met an actual legit diagnosed autist, or conveniently forget the ones they have met who don’t fit their manic pixie dream girl mold.
because female "autism" is nothing like male one, and while autistic men strugge, women are still on easy mode
Both are annoying morons who need rape correction, nonetheless. The glorification of autism in modern society is truly disastrous. Imagine raping an autist (of whatever sex) and they begin moronly clapping their hands out of either pure enjoyment or dread.
you are vile and you will be made to suffer with the rest of your evil kind, normalgay Black personworm
Uh-oh, seems like someone needs some correction. Hope you look cute <3

women choose men. women choose who has sex. no man is "on the hunt" for any woman unless they're exceedingly attractive and don't have issues landing women to begin with.
Absolutely moronic anon. Attractive men are the ones who don't hunt because women will approach them. Men on the hunt means they'll have to approach women to be chosen but women rarely go out of their way to find a man to choose.
what makes you think women want unattractive men approaching them?
They don't but most unattractive men know they'll have to actually try rather than sit around and b***h about it.
try to what end? at what point does the rejection become something pleasurable?
They occasionally succeed.
so because extreme outliers exist less fortunate men should continue to humiliate themselves at the mercy of women?
you're so fricking whiny you might as well get on HRT and chop off your wiener, jesus christ
i mean honestly society would probably be happy if people like me just became eunuchs. women especially. less rotten genes to worry about polluting their potential chance at getting mr perfect.
Don't be moronic, you already said you're not going to put in any effort so there's no chance of you passing on your "rotten genes"
hey as long as it makes poor women happy that men like me are dropping out.
Lol didn't you want o say you didn't want to humilate yourself for the sake of women.
Just admit it, you're doing this for yourself, your too chicken shit to try so you give yourself reasons why not trying is good actually while wallowing iny our own self pity.
i'm not humiliating myself i'm bettering society and the gene pool. you should be thanking ME.
Lol, not thanking you homosexual.
The only person your helping is yourself by living in some delusional fantasy land where you're doing this for the good of society and not for your own sake.
the more people like me drop out the less nonchads women have to deal with. i don't see the issue. women are the greatest proponents of eugenics after all. physically at least. a society of 7ft tall gigachad sociopathic rapists is what we need, clearly.
>a society of 7ft tall gigachad sociopathic rapists is what we need, clearly.

>Extreme
Nah they're pretty common, there incel population for men is only about 1/5th and it's probably greatly skewed by men just straight up no longer trying because mild setbacks or women not being worth it.
Please please please go outside for once. Men who are schlubby looking still find partners. Most people in general are not particularly attractive. The fact that (You) exist means your ancestors, who looked like you, reproduced at some point
ancestors didn't have hookup apps/smart phones or online dating. world was extremely different even just 20 years ago.

Why are autists so unemployable?
Poor mental health in general causes issues with employment.
They are prone to frick up interviews (if they can even manage to get one without outside assistance).
And does this include shit like (unpaid) Internships? Cause from why i noticed Autists are pretty likely to get "stuck" in that position (Or other unpaid training positions) rather then getting a (part-time) hiring (and obviously any company would prefer completely free labor over labor they pay less for due government assisting) and that there is often a crossover with Autism and several other disabilities.
Autistic who's had issues getting/keeping employment here. First of all the ADA doesn't do shit unless you get their discrimination in writing or recording because lol good luck proving it.
The main reason is other disabilities, ultimately, let you change a couple of minor things and they will do the job just the same as 'normal' people. Autism fundamentally changes the way you process and socialize, which will either create a direct liability (less productive, less rapport with clients, etc.) or an indirect one/inconvenience (making coworkers 'uncomfortable' because you don't do water cooler talk and the like).
Basically, diversity is valued both to the extent it is legally obligated to be and to the extent it doesn't impact the bottom line and/or require actual effort to accommodate the person. You get diversity points either way so why not go for a black or a gay when at the end of the day they can (probably) do the job just the same?
Continuing my post. I once had a supervisor who was openly ADHD. He was able to keep it almost completely under control by popping an Adderall and putting a foot-rocking thing under his desk.
He ended up giving me a "get out or be fired" notice because basically "I managed my disability so why can't you manage yours?"
>He ended up giving me a "get out or be fired" notice because basically "I managed my disability so why can't you manage yours?"
That's kind of infuriating.
Especially since the vast, vast majority of the day to day issues autistic people face, are interactions with non-autistic people and the ridiculous friction that so frequently disadvantages autistic people since the world is built by those who aren't autistic.
Rare as they are. Businesses or organizations that are actually entirely or primarily made out of autistic people. Actually tend to function very well.
But because autistic people are so rare, autistic people always has to devote most of their time and energy towards adapting to a world that is actively hostile to them. Most neurotypicals wouldn't be able to do that, but autistics have no choice. If they want to be part of society it's typically obligatory. And yeah I won't pretend like having ADHD is easy, but frick that supervisor you mentioned.
Since the thread's almost over anyway, I forgot to thank you 2 for the validation. I know we're internet strangers but it means a lot to me.
No worries mate. Thank you for letting me know the blue footrest thing exists. Could be a fun fidget and one's always looking for weird cope strategies to see which ones work.
>unless you get their discrimination in writing or recording because lol good luck proving it
Being unable to prove it sucks. You know it, they know it, but unless they're dumb enough to call you names in an email like it's highschool one's SOL. At best they'll tell you you "didn't fit their profile" despite knowing how to do everything the position entailed and more. Sorry you had to deal with that butthole from my ADHD tribe, mate.
>Businesses or organizations that are actually entirely or primarily made out of autistic people. Actually tend to function very well.
Yup. You'd think it would be as easy as "keep the autists in the back where they can write code and color code everything while wearing their anime merch in the back, happy as clams, while the normalgays do the socializing and sales part" but normies just don't get it, man.
>They are prone to frick up interviews (if they can even manage to get one without outside assistance).
This is it for me, I've been unemployed for 7 months and I can get interviews easily because of an engineering master's and having worked in some nice positions but get filtered by HR stacies just smelling the weirdo in me. And all the videos I watch on how to pass interviews are full of mindgames where what they ask you is very different from what they actually want you to answer with many recruiters admitting it's a likeability test. Total normalhomosexual death now.
I've been stuck in the same position for 6 years. I am 31 and the few interviews I have had went well enough but not quite there. I remember nearly losing my job to start with because some dude got upset when I told him that most of the thing online are bunk (I was trolling on wikipedia) and he went into aNavy SEALs tier spiel. I still remember saying that since he has fired so many guns, that would he mind shooting me so I could stop hearing his shit. I get along great with my coworkers, since I like military history and they're a bunch of old boomers who love war.
Most of that list seems to be BS disabilities.
>I'm allergic to peanuts

The very first early redflag for an autist is
>doesn't play well with others
And that extends for their entire lives, they usually do pretty well with WFH and the like tho
Autists are superior. They are the next evolution. Neurotypical normies shun what they don’t understand.
*cries when they get his order wrong at mcdonalds*
In an autist society the order would always be right.
see, normalhomosexuals can't even get the fricking order right
Do autistic girls even enjoy sex and having a boyfriend?
It seems like they would find the whole thing annoying
>Do autistic girls even enjoy sex and having a boyfriend?
The one I know is a sex therapist and a polygamist.
Sex is the one of the thing she's hyperfixated on. She is also really good at it.
If she's anything to go by, it seems like autistic girls have more of an issue with monogamy and jealousy. And that sex/relationships aren't worth it if it leads to drama.
absolutely disgusting.
She's good people.
yes i'm surely lots of shameless prostitutes are actually saints with hearts of gold. uh huh.
>autist men must be incels
>autist women can be sex fiends
makes you think.
Is making generalizations based on a small sample size also a sign of autism?
Of course they do, they get horny and yearn for affection like everyone else. But their condition never "turns off" so you might have just dumped loads in all three of her holes and be cuddling her while talking about the future and she'll be spacing out lost in her autistic little thoughts
Depends on if they are type 1,2 , or 3
Type 1 is a yes
Type 2 Is a 70-30 split in favor of sex typically the biggest barrier is discomfort at being touched
Type 3 is a 40-60 split in favor of no sex or at least they are so non functional that consent if unable to be obtained.

>tfw learned to live with the tism well enough i cant back pedal for disability
i just want to shack up alone and embrace my stupid interests without putting myself through the social grinder. i dont have exercises or medications, just alcohol and bad drawings.
I thought I had wrangled my autism enough but then Life happened and now I'm pursuing disability because I am regularly reminded about all of the small ways in which I do not function properly, and if I don't become aware of that and take steps to be responsible about that, I end up being at risk of becoming a Chris-Chan-esque nuisance who would end up being in an expose youtube video. Sometimes you look at yourself and realize you basically have soul-cancer and you just try to figure out the most reasonable and responsible way to spend the remaining years of your life.
sometimes i think about if something would happen to me, if one day ill just lose control one way or the other. if things dont improve for me, i imagine i might. i despise the idea of being a burden, but im doing my best and it doesnt mean much
Honestly just work on getting some form of controlled income, either through some sort of online work, or on disability, or whatever, and then just start building out your life from there, like that game Raft, where you just have that little square in the ocean and you have to just start building. That's what I've been doing. I have actual furniture now! When I was 22, I didn't think I'd live to see 30, and now I'm closing in on 35 and I'm losing weight, going to a therapist, getting medications, I'm living on my own, I may be on a very tight income, but I'm not having to live with someone who is "doing me a favor" and spending the rest of my life begging and trying not to be a burden, like a kicked dog. I feel bad for people who are stuck in situations like that. There needs to be better minimum standards of living here in the US. Nobody should have to be couch surfing, I don't care if you're lazy or unproductive. Nobody wants homeless people around, and being homeless has never helped anybody to be LESS homeless.
thanks to my family, i manage to get by renting from my uncle and such, but i had a loss a couple years ago that sent me down a path of desperation that royally ruined me financially. ive been trying to job hunt, but when my only ambition is to avoid the real world is pretty hard.
Exactly. If you can't find any online gig work, doing paperwork or anything, try looking into going to a diagnoser in your area. Sociophobia, chronic anxiety, clinical depression, these are all serious issues that cause people to not be able to maintain employment, and they are legitimate, actual disabilities that can make you eligible for benefits, depending on your state. Here in Washington State, I get a small amount of money a month and I have subsidized rent, only $115 a month, which on my not-SSI state financial benefits is easily doable while still having a small amount of money for me to, like, get basic necessities for my life and even buy a game once in a blue moon. It's better than trying to barely scrape by with a temporary position at gamestop or some shit, and it's better than sleeping on someone's couch and trying to constantly justify my own existence to them, being Todd from Bojack Horseman.
if what im hoping for ends up not happening, ill try and get diagnosed(havent yet since my medical records would impact it). i believe i probably have other issues as well, but since i was a very quiet kid growing up i didnt show obvious signs, and my parents are very oblivious people.

I am autistic, never, never cared for representation.
You now what I cared, I cared that the books and shows were cool.
Only woman care about these stupid stuff.
It would be nice to be represented by someone other than Shelden Cooper or the I AM A SURGEON guy
Why?
What benefit is there?
Increasing normie empathy. Problem with any "issue" that needs "awareness" raised about it is the people who most need the message are the ones least likely to get it. You get an echo chamber of insiders telling other insiders autism (for example) is le good when everyone in the group is like "no shit."
Meanwhile, you still have that 75% un/underemployment rate.
Case in point, my mother was a typical anti-gay Christian even when those views almost led to divorce with my fairly hard-lib father. That didn't change her, but a few years later, you know what did? Kurt and Blaine from fricking Glee.
>Increasing normie empathy.
That only works in the general "someone (not me) should help them" sense.
It's still a burden on normal people to deal with autistic people.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to post best girl
Once When i was a kid, too old to be scared at night, id woken up my parents again, wanting to be comforted. This time my dad said "you have to comfort yourself" and went back to bed. The people who write these cartoons never accepted that lesson. If a character is disabled or dysfunctional they HAVE to be coddled little victims. Mary sues. Trinkets. They cant have agency because characters with agency face consequenses. Extra true for the women they write.
>They cant have agency
Frieren is so called autist coded as frick. And she has agency.
Frieren is the equivalent of a type 2 autist senior coder who makes over 200k a year due to getting in before the tech industry had massive growth, and so is well off enough for people to bush off her idiosyncratic social behavior
Also she is from a anime we are talking about western cartoons here.
>Special interests
Everyone has those
>Increased empathy
This is not a trait of autism
>People pleasing
This is a normal social behavior for anyone and especially for women most of the world over but is actually quite challenging for most autistic people although they may try
>Scripting
More associated with functional anxiety than autism
>Social withdrawal
Unremarkable in anyone
>Increased empathy
Its less of an actual increase in empathy and more a lack of normal emotional regulation so when the empathy does hit if hits hard.
Not that anon. But no it's an increase in empathy. For most autistic people. Obviously not all of them.
But it is difficult to say how much of it is because of the neurological condition itself, and how much of it is simply due to environmental circumstances that follows from living with autism.
Autistic people are by far more introspective than most people. Practically by necessity.
In every day to day life they constantly struggle to properly communicate their thoughts and feelings in ways that people who aren't autistic can or will understand. And this does inevitably lead to lots and lots of introspection.
If you struggle to effectively communicate your inner thoughts and feelings, step 1 is to actually properly recognize and understand your inner thoughts and feelings.
And while the relationship is by no means a given thing, there is still a strong correlation between introspection and empathy.
And then to add to this further. There is also the plain and simple fact that living as an autistic person is seldom easy and they typically struggle quite a bit. Which leaves them prone to be able to relate with others when they're struggling as well.
Some anons higher up in the thread got pissy at the idea of autistic people having increased empathy. As if it was just some kind of cope to cling to and a yearning for any kind of superiority. But that's bullshit.
For starters it has frickall to do with superiority. It's just a simple fact of life that when you've got people who go through life struggling, while being constantly misunderstood. They tend to grow more empathetic than the average person. Autistic or not. This is true for neurotypicals as well. It's just that autistic people are almost naturally funnelled into this category and these life experiences, whereas neurotypicals are not so it is far more likely for this to happen with autistic people than with neurotypicals.
It's not about superiority. It's just life. Life for autistic people anyway.
Most of the confusion about empathy and autistic people are mostly centred around this simple problem.
Even though an autistic person, in this hypothetical, might have a good deal of empathy. And would feel a great deal for a person who is sad in their vicinity. That would first require them to realize that the person is indeed sad.
Autistic people can still struggle with this. But that isn't actually a lack of empathy but people often treat it as it is for some reason.
That makes sense for those with type 1 (or level 1) autism but when you start going into those lower in capability and cognitive processing (type 2 and 3) they struggle greatly with self reflection and the types of mental processing that go into self-reflection.
Their is a marked difference between presumably you and someone who needs to be told jacking off in the middle of the street is wrong or someone who is completely unable to process
I myself am Type 1 but I have been in social programs with type 2 people and have an uncle which is type 3 their is a marked difference.
It’s bizarre how hard the media and groups push autism in women as being anywhere equal to men. When every single study ever made has shown
>women do not have autism nearly as much as men
>women with autism mostly have much lesser symptoms
The whole “autism is the male brain taken to the extreme” explanation makes sense in this regard.
https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/extreme-male-brain-explained/#:~:text=The%20%27extreme%20male%20brain%27%20theory,such%20as%20grasping%20social%20cues.
Meaning women with autism mostly just end up thinking and acting like normal men. Obvious there’s mega autists on both sides who cannot even speak and throw shit around or whatever but we are talking about the majority of cases
I get that "aUtIsM Is a sPeCtRuM" but why are nonverbal, incontinent dependant autists that exist purely to eat and punch holes in walls given the same label as an awkward guy who doesn't get social cues and likes trains too much? All it means is people look at you, say "oh you're one of the high functioning autists" and refuse to give you any assistance or leeway.
Apparently it's "low needs" aka high functioning and "high needs" low functioning now
It describes the same set of defects in the brain, the only variable is severity. The issue is that the brain is an extremely complex organ, so misfires don't have the same consistency as other bodily illnesses. Schizophrenia can be anything from short delusional episodes and manageable hallucinations, to completely inoperable catatonia and crippling psychoses. Depression can range from a deficit in energy to suicidal misery. Etc.
Also you have to realize no one is seeking out low functioning male but low functioning females are prime for grooming, that why you rarely see actual moron females. They're guarded like hell, they most likely get sent to a mental institution for that reason
Was Mona autism?

i think autism representation in cartoons is fine actually ^-^
I'm an autistic woman and there's waaay more symptoms than this if you want to portray an accurate autistic woman. The reason it can't be done in cartoons as well is that creators are afraid of showing us being bullied, showing us being off-putting and showing how we struggle in romantic situations.
i'm guessing you're in a relationship and haven't been single for long periods of time?
I've only had one boyfriend before
you HARLOT
Did he get tired of handling your autism or did you get tired of him (maybe because he was human garbage, I dunno the dude)?
I broke up with him because he wasn't interested in cartoons.
Why did you date a normalgay in the first place?
He was the only guy who said he was interested in me and didn't retract it as being a joke later.
That must have been some wiener.
It was mid because he didn't like cartoons very much. It didn't last long.
Let this be a lesson to all of you, even female autists can't be trusted
Yeah, I can't be trusted because I would rather break up with someone so they can find someone else who likes similar things to them and not waste their time.
For Cartoons though? I love Godzilla and Anime, I wouldn't break up with my girlfriend just because she can't see why Hedorah is an underrated classic or want to sing the Tank Police theme prompted by nothing.
Even the later seasons?
>or want to sing the Tank Police theme prompted by nothing.
This, but with the Patlabor TV OP1 or the OVA OP.
Yeah but I wasn't with him long and it just quickly became apparent we weren't a good match.
Like, at all or not interested in modern cartoons/your cartoons?
I can't say anything in recent years has tickled my fancy, but I still like my old-man cartoons.
Like any, he just liked sitcoms like Scrubs.
Only sitcoms?
...Were they at least good sitcoms? Or was he okay with the trashiest ones?
I dunno why, but I'd like to believe the dude didn't have horribly shit taste.
His favorites were Scrubs and The Big Bang Theory. It was really boring.
There's few things more dull than bad comedies.
Well he had shit taste.
Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
Christ, you poor woman, I hope you didn't have skin contact with him, all the normal gay shit could be passed down to you by osmosis .
The only thing that could undo this normie damage I had is to having baby-making sex with an autistic guy. They should also have a weird fetish just in case, so I counter balance the normie bullshit.
in general autism doesn't translate well in cartoons and if it WAS accurate soccer moms would have a fit
does Shinji have autistic traits or was he just a b***h.
from what i saw, b***hmade boy with daddy issues. he reads more bpd than autistic
It's like Hank Hill, people want desperately for him to be an autist when the reality is he's traumatized so he developed coping mechanisms that make him socially and emotionally averse.
>when the reality is he's traumatized so he developed coping mechanisms that make him socially and emotionally averse.
he's just like me frfr.
Well autism, being a mental thing, is diagnosed by it's symptoms.
It's not like disease where you can diagnose it based on the presence of a foreign body, so even if I think people go to far sometimes, if a character has enough autistic traits I think it's fair to think of them as autistic.
But they're usually ignoring the context of these traits. They see "Hank is uptight rigid and obtuse" and say PRETTY AUTISITIC but then don't take a step back and look at the fact he was raised by an irrational terror of a father in a very conservative environment, he just values control and structure of his life and idolizes figures and institutions in lieu of a father he fears more than respects.
Shinji is a 14 year old with abandonment issues who when he's finally reunite with his father who abandoned him he says "you're only back in my life because you want something from me" and his dad's response is "yeah and?" coupled with placing the literal apocalypse on his shoulders, Shinji doesn't trust people because what should be his only source of unconditional love laid out conditions without any real promise of love to boot. He's simultaneously stresse the frick out and is withdrawn because he's consumed by the fact that any moment they could pull the rug from under him.
>He's simultaneously stresse the frick out and is withdrawn because he's consumed by the fact that any moment they could pull the rug from under him.
That's so real it hurts.
I don't know that this is true, it COULD make for something interesting if the character were an adult and in an interesting situation.
Because actual autism is chronic self-centeredness, to a clinical degree. It doesn't make for an interesting story when some incurable NEET is sitting alone eating tendies and watching anime.
These days though it's a label for any behavior disorder there are new pills to treat, or a derogatory for similar. Reading a modern "diagnosis" for it is like reading a fricking horoscope.
What's a good example of autistic representation
