I watched the video, and VERY INFORMATIVE, and INTERESTING. I also have some theories from way way log ago.

I often feel left out and/or don’t fit in.

You are and are just fine in my presence.
Nice to hear from you.

This maybe is kind of specific but do I tell people that I’m autistic? And who? When, how, etc.

I would first tell them at the beginning of any conversation, just so that they know not to ask weird questions, like “why do you talk like that?” Or something like that?

Most people have preconceived notions, and I don’t fit their mold, so I get a lot of confused looks and disbelief. But when I don’t mention it and end up doing, saying or reacting in an awkward or unsuspecting manner, I get looks like I’m weird.

Not everyone is the same, and that’s ok! If people don’t believe you, then they clearly don’t know what autism is. It is a spectrum, everyone has it differently. I hate those kind of people, don’t feel like it’s your fault! You are not weird, don’t listen to those people.

I often feel left out and/or don’t fit in. I can tell when someone does feel comfortable around me. But I’m not anything like their cousins neighbor’s little boy who’s autistic so they can’t comprehend that I, a 56 year old married woman, is too.

Again not everyone is the same, you are your own person! If you feel as if you don’t fit in, you really do! You are loved, beautiful, and appreciated! If some people can’t understand that, then they are the ones who are really weird.

I don’t really know how to respond to that because I’m not very much into evolution. Maybe someone in the replies can answer? Sorry

I really wouldn't unless there's a reason to. Not every conversation needs to be started with 'I'm autistic', just mention it if it comes up or if you think that it's important to the conversation.

But you started the thread and said you'd talk about anything. So are you only willing to talk about Creationism? Or maybe you're smart enough to know how to avoid getting your thread shut down.

Evolution vs. Creationism, probably can't get more Controversial than that unless you digress to what came first, the Chicken or the Egg??

I know I was being funny.
