Guess it's also limited cognitive empathy? Still figuring it out.

Scary a granny can be so clueless about when men's intentions are sexual in nature. Starting self defense classes soon.

Accepting that I am autistic allows me to learn better self care. Makes a huge difference!

A nurse told me "everyone has autism these days" when I mentioned I suspected it.

I no longer suspect. Apprehensive to get diagnosed, but a recent experience made me realize just how much missing social cues and implied meanings makes me vulnerable.

At 53yo, I shouldn't be so naive 😕

I have heard stories from autistic women about how hard it was to get a proper evaluation for autism. The biased studies definitely lets a lot fall through the cracks. It's like the different presenting signs of heart attacks in men and women.
