    What is the difference between "safe foods" and food preferences?

    Shocking news and mind feels confused

    Sorry to hear the story. Give yourself time. No need to do anything in the next week or even the next two weeks. Take some time to process the news and decide with calm what to do next

    Hello all. New to this forum. My daughter (14) has recently been diagnosed with autism. I’m looking for guidance in how to tell her

It's the essence of being a teen. It's a difficult age; trying...

    Being gaslit about being autistic or not

    There isn't much you gain from being angry at them or needing their recognition. You're better off working on your own problems. Perhaps their understanding of autism is shaped by your brother's experience. Most likely they think they are being helpful by telling you that you're not autistic...

    Tired of what YouTube and online thinks self help and stuff means to swear and be mean.

    There is good stuff, but the problem is that the bad stuff dominates, and when you don't know much about a topic, it's impossible to know what is solid information and what is bad information designed to make people money with clicks

    How can they say we lack empathy when I made people tear up talking to them.

    The lack of empathy and ASD is a zombie idea. It never dies. :)

    Diagnosing other people

    @Bergs As others said, probably best to keep it to yourself. The thing is that many people have ASD traits. A diagnosis requires a collection of traits that have lasted a lifetime. The other issue is that it's almost impossible to make a diagnosis without having an in-depth conversation with...
