Who else has autism/aspergers?

Is there an option for definitely has autism but not sure if you're redpilled?

I wouldn't be the only autistic person to get frustrated with how dating normally works. There is a lot of vague rules, unspoken rules, tests of your social skills, little white lies. So it is extra tempting to look towards anything that would make it more clear or easier, though of course neurotypical people can also have these frustrations, though it is less intense. Redpill of course claims to simplify things and offers guarantees. It is a lie, but a seductive lie.

I expect because those on the autism spectrum, like myself, are far more likely to have never experienced relationships even in their late 20s-30s. I've said many times social ability is a far better indicator of success than things like height or money.

When you've never gotten anywhere, when the usual advice you receive does nothing, you're going to start looking for answers. I might not be part of RP, but I still understand the temptation. In Virgin/FA forums, while the exact number of those on the spectrum varies, it's clear autistic men are vastly overrepresented in such places.

And it isn't fun. Saying relationships/romance/sex aren't all that important is far easier when you're not the one in that position. I learned to find fulfillment elsewhere, to an extent, but it still isn't an easy task.

What I've noticed is when I hear things like "I'm not a real man if I can't get laid!" or otherwise mostly focused on the sexual aspect, they're young. Mostly, they tend to be teenagers to their early 20s. For people who are in their 30s and beyond, it becomes much more the lack of connection, love, wanting someone to share your life with. After a while, it wears you down and makes the Red Pill quite appealing, especially when you hear claims from others that it transformed their lives.

It's not the aspergers, it's regular old maladaptive entitlement.

Every redpiller has a background filled with some hardship or insecurity. Some of that hardship/insecurity may be related to them having aspergers. But ultimately, it's how they react to their problems that makes the difference - redpill is just filled with those who reacted to theirs in a bad way.

I put not sure because I am not diagnosed. By today's standards, yes. When I was growing up, you would have to be rainman.

I’m worried my nephew may have it! How do you know if you have it?? I think that people with autism or Asperger’s have BEAUTIFUL minds!

My therapist mentioned I might have autism a couple of years ago, but diagnosis as an adult is difficult to come by, at least in the US. I also have ADHD that I wasn't diagnosed until adulthood, but at least there is medicine for that, so I did go through the year+ long ordeal to get a diagnosis and get meds. I really don't think I want to go through that for an autism diagnosis, since there isn't any meds or anything like that. I've learned to cope and adapt well enough. So what if I strongly prefer my clothes to have particular textures and I scan people's faces instead of making actual eye contact?

I'm also old enough that the red pill wasn't a thing when I was vulnerable to it. I did go through a period where I was manipulative toward women to get affection/dates, which is why I relate to this subject and this subreddit. I also witnessed the genesis of the red pill from a forum for sadists to talk shop to a dating advice service.

I have apergers. I have been with over 20 women and have had 3 relationships. My weakness seems to be in group settings though. However 1 on 1 I excel from self teaching. And I seem to do quite well on dates.

Yes :)

And love it.
