Is Autism 'a man's world'?

The more times I read this post, the more ridiculous it seems. How can Autism be a man's world? Autism doesn't have a sex or gender. 

I never said Autism had a sex or gender. I said that I felt it was a male-dominated world. It's traditionally been thought of as a male thing and still is by a lot of people; they're wrong, but the belief is there, and that continues to prevent a lot of Autistic women from getting the help they need. What's more is my question was a genuine question asked because of my own experiences, not a declaration. Honestly, I'm sick of this site and the jumping on people. This is no place if you actually need support. It's a load of unkind, judgemental, narcissistic people shouting into an echo-chamber, only wanting to air their opinions, thinking they're great philosophers, and not actually wanting to offer peer support. You have no right to call anyone 'ridiculous'. I've never called you 'ridiculous'. You people do nothing for the negative stereotypes against us. Absolutely nothing.

ironicly all of those accusations you have spouted at people are very judgemental accusations themselves.... so perhaps.... perhaps you are right about it... because you are the person you describe... you are that judgemental person and you even jump on people and try to gang up with others and gang jump on a single person.... so yeah, projecting... look in the mirror.... reflect on what you see for that is you...

When did I say anything about wanting 'men-free spaces', or that 'men are the bad guys for existing'? I said absolutely nothing of the kind. I don't go in for all that nonsense, I'm not a TERF. I think it might be you projecting this time.

you mean the subject being the implication that autism is a mans world and that somehow men are again the bad guy for supposedly just existing of which she seems to take some sort of offence at the existance of men in spaces she is and seems to want men free spaces?

No ~ that is not what I meant.

Mykal stated that the more he read Giraffe's post the more ridiculous he found it to be, not appreciating that as such he was stating that her feelings and thoughts were more and more worthy of mockery and laughter ~ and not in his opinion to be taken seriously.

What I meant therefore was that Mykal had made a serious error of judgement, you had joined in by adding to and compounding that erroneous mistake ~ and nothing more.

and personally, i find there is a pretty nice mix of male and female in here... it isnt one sided... it has a good mix.... if she feels that she isnt accepted and chalks it down to being female, then i dunno.... theres enough females.... it cant be mens fault, if she feels not accepted then that means given the amount of females here it means she feels shes not accepted by them too, but yet she targeted men specifically despite there being just as much females on this site. was she specifically looking for male interaction and friends perhaps and feels she hadnt got it? .... i mean males do show friendship in other ways, such as jokes and banter type behavior in which i even tried on here and she flipped at me for.... perhaps she wanted male friends but she just cant understand the male behavior to understand and spot how males actually be friendly?

There is no irony in what Giraffe had to state, and although judgemental in respect of the latter content, the assessment of the problems she addressed was very much accordant with the facts of the matter, and she was justifiably upset and angered by the disregard for her feelings and her sensitivities regarding the subject .

Unfortunately you are attributing other problems without considering the nature of the first inflammatory statement, which was neither appropriate nor was it befitting ~ so making out that Giraffe is at fault, was your mistake.

Everything aside...who on earth are you to question people's diagnoses?

aye i pointed something similar out in another thread in which i pointed out that they all want to enforce societal accepted lies and not go by logic and thus i said they all sound more NT than anything with the way they wanna shove a square peg in a round hole and then lie that it fits and call everyone else bigots who dares to point out its the wrong hole or dares to ask a explanation of how it even fits when it clearly doesnt. this is NT behavior, it isnt logical.

or maybe its not my anger your feeling, but your own anger at my posts that you instead need to come to terms with and let out somehow?

buy a boxing bag, put it in corner of your room and any time you read a post that makes you mad perhaps hit the boxing bag instead of claiming the other person is mad instead. the other person just types alot and you get mad over the things you read that they typed.

i mean i dont get why youd be mad at mycals response as his is just a response of the crazy assumption that autism is a mans world, he didnt bring this up, the OP/you did and he just responded by pointing out the needless gendering which usually only causes arguments anyway when you gender things that doesnt even have a gender. then i guess you got mad at his comment and probably got mad at all the comments in here and then had some form of meltdown and then projected your own anger onto what we wrote, rather than recognizing that the anger is your own anger at what we wrote.

You need help, and I mean that sincerely, not as a cheap insult. You need someone to help you manage your anger. Your posts make me fear for you and the people around you.
