Yeah I have actually pushed several women away and turned down one-night-stands and because I thought it was wrong. Autistics tend to be hyper-moral.

Autistics aren't hyper moral, they're lawful neutral, hence the obsession with trains, routines, and the desire to stamp out all individuality and free will.

Tips on getting laid for OP:
Treat people like people
Be nice. Genuinely nice. Not "nice"
Be upfront. Don't lie to people or tell them you just want to be friends if you want a gently caress
Basic hygiene holy poo poo

That alone gets you further than most people.

Also eat well, maybe work out, have a modicum of self respect. poo poo ain't hard, don't be a creep basically.

Also if you tweak your nipples from across the room that's the signal and all of the horny folks will flock to you for hot goon sex.

You guys ever wonder if you post on a forum because there isn't really any interaction and it's just all of us posting and trying to get more attention than the next guy? Like we're all yelling over each other to get the empty quotes or whatever internet cred and convince ourselves that this is some kind of social interaction so it's cool that I don't talk to anyone at work or have any friends. I just throw my poo poo at a wall and people have to read it and then they can throw their poo poo at the wall too and this is what I replaced my family with.

Anyway grats on curing your autism op

There is no more glorious way to return to SA, I am home.

EDIT, this is the content of the previous thread.

Sorry guys I had some stuff to work on, but I am back now. It was autism, I am not joking, I was told not to come back here after doing some stupid poo poo and I listened for fifteen years.

So what have I missed? This place was awesome 20 years ago (how the hell can something on the internet be twenty years old?) and I really missed you guys.! This is Something Awful, God-Damnit! This is the place that birthed so many of the internets greatest memes, hell, THIS IS THE PLACE THAT CREATED THE FREAKIN MEME FORMAT!

God's How I missed you bastards.
It really was autism, they are starting to actually be able to treat it now. I feel like someone who has woken up from a thirty year coma, I am not making GBS threads you. This is day-one of my new life and you goony sons-of-bitches are the first people I wanted to share it with.

Actually, it felt like going home. I have always been a bit disassociated ( from the autism). When I tried the drug, it did not feel like anything that I can't make happen to myself with a bit of concentration. Because of this I can see the blindspot in my eyes and project an image there. It isn't perfect, the images are a bit ghostly and it is constantly changing, but I can manipulate my brain to see pretty much anything I want.

No, but they've made progress treating a bunch of comorbid conditions to a point where quality of life can be significantly improved.

It's weird even at low doses. I've had it administered for treatment resistant depression. Like going into a dream without falling asleep, kind of. Lots of eye scrolling and emphasis on blocky geometry as far as visuals go.

No, I mean the actual disorder. It requires a hell of a lot of effort and therapy, though.

Yeah, that is right. If I lie still in a dark place with weighted blankets and my ears plugged, I can do it on my own.

Yeah, but it's proof you have way less autism symptoms, which also happens if you get anxiety and depression adequately treated.

Therapy and understanding of autism is good. I don't think I've met an autistic person who's happy and capable who's needed drugs tho.

Wanted drugs, that's different.

When you first make massive progress like this, it feels like the high is going to go on forever.

It won't. You'll backslide, sooner rather than later. Healing will stall. It sucks. You can get over it and continue healing, though.

The previous phase was the one where you get that goddamn electronic toothbrush and use it religiously, as well as double-check your hygiene, and learn to write down your diet so you can calculate nutrition and fix any deficiencies. As well as get into a regimen of exercise. Not done one of those yet? Now's the time.

This one generally adds reading Camus. Toss on Flowers for Algernon, Grapes of Wrath, and VALIS. Wearing aggressively weird clothing on public transport might not be a great idea with COVID (desensitizes you to public spaces). Getting to know your own emotional responses, and taking the time to stop, think, and listen to yourself is a good idea. Start meditating, it works way better in this phase than the previous one.

Once the backslide starts, it helps to know that's not forever either.

Ain't a cure. Doesn't mean it doesn't make life a lot easier to deal with.
