Not even exaggerating I've been around SOOOOOO many black folks on the spectrum and they ALWAYS gravitate towards me. I don't act judgemental towards them so I guess they pick up on that shyt instantly. I also try to learn from others so I'll just let them talk about whatever interests they have and can usually jump in the conversation when they give me the chance but alot of times when talking with folks with different forms of autism it's like a one sided convo but I figure they can use it as practice when they gotta deal with people that aren't as patient:yeshrug:

I ain't never smashed any autistic females even though I've come across some that were choosing. I felt like it would be taking advantage of them but after seeing this interview it might've helped with their feelings of isolation......or maybe they were practicing and not trying to flirt like she said in the interview........:jbhmm:

This for me too. I think it's partly me being non-judgmental but it's also that I tend to have really strong and idealist moral views, which I've noticed a lot of the autistic folk I meet have as well. Like, toss out the bullshyt social justifications and just wanting to say the truth. That's why I get that Greta Thunberg activist girl a lot, she tells it like it is and doesn't care if people think she's being too extreme calling them out because she knows she's right.

In college I had one girl who was interested in me who I'm pretty sure was autistic (couldn't read social cues, extremely awkward in conversations, got overwhelmed easily, very very sensitive to touch). I didn't reciprocate simply because I wasn't interested in her as any more than a friend, but I could imagine a scenario where I would date someone on the spectrum who was high-functioning if they checked all the other boxes.

Can someone please explain to me what autism is? To my knowledge, and please educate me if I’m typing out of turn, you go to a psychologist/psychiatrist who deems you autistic. There’s no blood work to affirm that anybody is in fact autistic. Nor does anyone know the origins. I’m just curious.

Autism is basically a spectrum of behaviors where those who have it struggle to maintain interpersonal interactions to a severe degree and tend to cope with difficulties in life by repetitive behavior or severely restricting behavior. It's cause isn't understood (like many disorders both mental and physical) but in some cases it appears to be at least partially genetic and it also seem to be more likely if you have some sort of negative chemical exposures or other negative environmental factors (pollution, certain medicines, poor nutrition, older mother, etc.) while you're in the womb.

Wikipedia gives this summary:

Symptoms can be detected before the age of two and experienced practitioners can give a reliable diagnosis by that age. However, a diagnosis may not occur until much older, even well into adulthood. The signs are many and can include: specific or repeated behaviors, enhanced sensitivity to materials, being upset by changes in routine, appearing to show reduced interest in others, avoiding eye-contact and limitations in social situations and with verbal communication. When social interaction becomes more important, some whose condition might have been overlooked suffer social and other exclusion and are more likely to have coexisting mental and physical conditions. Long-term problems include difficulties in daily living such as managing schedules, hypersensitivities (e.g. to foods, noises, fabric textures), initiating and sustaining relationships and maintaining jobs.

There is literally zero chance of that. Of course you can go to jail for having sex with someone who is severely disabled or retarded to the point where they can't consent any more than a little kid can (both men and women have been convicted for that), but she's probably smarter than you are. Y'all are demeaning as fukk.





Her attitude isn't what makes her autistic. It's how she can't handle noisy environments, can't read social cues, doesn't understand emotional behaviors many other people would find normal, etc.

Bruh ... All jokes aside...
I doubt it would be that cut and dry.

If shorty is diagnosed with some sort of mental or emotional disability...
You might have an issue if you fukk that bytch.
They definitely could claim you took advantage of her...


And to your other point, that you address to the other person....

All those behaviors you listed also can be called "just being an a$$hole".

How is autism diagnosed?
What test are they administering?

I used to work with kids with autism...
If your saying this lady is autistic... Then we are all autistic

Reminds me of this psycho (narcissistic/bi-polar) bytch I met at a diner. Got a drink with her and offered to smoke her up back in my hotel room.

Told me she’d have her “husband” (turns out he doesn’t exist) put a hit out on me if I didn’t sell her an 1/8th. Never thought I’d have to pull a gun on a bytch before.

You're talking as if 20% of the American population hasn't been diagnosed with a psych issue or disability at some point in their lives. If that was enough for a rape case we would have tens of thousands of rape cases every day.

Instead of claiming shyt with no evidence, why don't you just give an example of the law that would apply. Or give examples of men who are in jail for raping women who happen to have a psych disorder but live independently with even close the mental aptitude of this woman.

No, none of those behaviors are "being an a$$hole".

Autism is diagnosed by interviews (of both the patient and family members) and clinical observation. First a doctor will do an initial exam - if you have a kid and they do a checkup nowadays there's always an autism screening around 2 years old, I did my daughter's screening and the doctor asked me all sorts of questions about things she could and couldn't do, she passed. If the doctor sees warning signs that point towards autism in the child's behavior or in her questions to the child or the parent, then she'll hand the case over to a behavioral specialist who makes the official diagnosis based on more interviews and behavioral observations. Here are what those look like:

Autism Diagnostic Interview - Wikipedia

Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Wikipedia

Childhood Autism Rating Scale - Wikipedia


Since you haven't done the interviews, haven't done the observations, and aren't a specialist, why do you believe you can definitively diagnosis someone who you've never even met?

If someone told you they had AIDS, would you insist they didn't have AIDS because you saw people with AIDS in the hospital and they looked different? Would you diagnosis someone as not having bipolar, schizophrenia, borderline, PTSD, etc. based solely off a video you watched? Or is autism the only disorder you think you can diagnosis definitively?

Watching the video I heard this woman talk about reading books about different countries/continents, she read about cultures/countries and locations on EVERY continent except Africa :russ:

Society really does brain wash people, even special people
