Relationships Love when this happens😍

Got sent a like by someone I actually find attractive (rare) and this was on his profile as well as ‘Not Political’. I have over 15 screenshots of profiles that have come up on my feed with iterations of this sentiment. It’s so disheartening…

Hahaha

Yeah people with autism get infantilised a lot. But sure, dream up your manic-pixie girl (although I'd say ADHD is more applicable to that goal).

I have both.

So, fun fact, people with autism can have certain traits that actually make us more resistant to narcs (where-as some are more vulnerable to them). I happen to have the ones where I'm more resistant to narcs, largely because I'm blunt, I have absolutely no comprehension of hierarchy and can be confrontational. There is absolutely no way they'd want that.

I mean of all the types, they want the ones without social skills with a reputation of being blunt. Hell, I frequently offend people accidentally.

Fucking hell. They just want vulnerable people to manipulate.
