Since autism in females presents differently, we need a place to discuss our own issues and triumphs dealing with Autism.
Rules
Be respectful.
Adhere to the rules of the instance.
This is a safe space, no mean, hateful, racist, etc stuff here.
Men are welcome as long as they are respectful of our space. They should know our struggles too!

Oh, I would like to clarify I could see from the very beginning that the intention behind your message was ensuring this community was a safe space for people who had to escape from harmful ideologies.
I feel ashamed of existing and I struggle with socializing because of past experiences, not your messages. In the first message, you were trying to defend others. In the second message, you told me the problem behind the word.
However, due to my difficulties fitting in and experiencing breakdowns everytime I try socializing, I have to accept once again that it's best for me to step back.
Again, it's nobody's fault. Thank you all and have a good weekend.
You have no less right to exist than anyone else. Socializing is tough and breakdowns are the worst. Try not to beat yourself up about that. If you feel you need to step back then do so but I hope you won't be away too long.
Remember, people sometimes comment without giving a second thought (see above lol, sorry) so try to give them equally little thought when they trouble you.
Edit: also, I was browsing all and thought this was the general autism community when initially commenting, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything, sorry
