Reading tonight. Found this to be particularly uplifting for my current mood.
Advice for dealing with women on the autism spectrum, from Aspergirls by Rudy Simone:
"...let her know that she's likeable, and we with AS [Asperger
Syndrome] have a hard time with that. We're not socially accepted, and
we have all these issues that make us difficult to deal with
sometimes...Aspergirls get told by everyone from parents to job coaches
that they should "fake it" to fit in. Imagine going your whole life
faking your personality. Who could keep that up for long?...We need
support -- moral, emotional" (pgs 221-223)
