i'm reading through a bunch of your responses and kind of randomly responding to this one because it seems like the most relevant. but I agree. online dating has been brutal for me as a man in the past. after a while, I flat out refused to online date. finally, a close friend of mine made my profile for me, very similar to how you're creating profiles for your client. it made all the difference in the world. instead of sending out 30 messages and maybe getting one response, on the first night, I sent out maybe 10 messages and 6/10 responded. after a week, I got to the point where I had to stop talking to some matches because I couldn't keep up with all the conversations. I'm realizing that it's not that girls aren't interested in me, it's that I had a shitty profile in the past.

i think he's confusing nitrous oxide with anesthesia? but still, how do you walk around with nitrous strapped to your face? i guess slightly more plausible?

What's the most difficult part of with these ultra distances? I can't imagine dealing with the food requirements, sleep, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion...what's the worst?

In your title, you state that "we're not broken." I want to say that I think I understand that sentiment and the wanting to be treated like anyone else. However, before I read your title, if you had asked me, I would have said that people with autism range from those who are highly functional and independent to those who need constant help. I would have said that to spend more time learning about those with autism around you and figure out how to best interact with them.

However, reading your title that "we're not broken," does it imply that I should be treating those with autism the same as those without? I work with a few students with autism and make sure to spend extra time with them because it feels like they need it. should I actually be treating them just like any other student and not purposely spend more time on them or slow things down for them? Otherwise, what does "we're not broken" mean exactly?
