Fix all those and you will present as less autistic.

Maybe it's your lack of understanding about psychology, but from what I wrote, it's clear that the symptoms come from trauma, not autism.
So it's CPTSD and a lot of BPD traits. These can present as autism, but they are acquired in childhood.
And the way you listed all my shortcomings here.. makes me think you (or most people here) really aren't equipped to help me (which everyone should be - we aren't trying to create an ableist society where healthy people are better off, are we?).
A sensitive person would recognise my triggered state, realise that my replies in this thread are me trying to defend myself and my experience (it feels like life or death to me, literally each time I get a notification from here I get extremely afraid - not kidding), and they would try to validate my experience.
"But this is not Reddit!"
It should be. Times are changing and an empathetic, careful approach is the new norm.
Barbers nowadays ask if they can touch you before they cut your hair. People ask before they give you advice. Old values aren't respected anymore.
What lacks on these boards is this progressive approach.
What prevails instead is a sense of "we are right about the world", which is not a good mindset if we all want to learn from each other.
Extreme sports are good ways to show a lack of fear. But I don't like that either.
If I knew you would reply, this is where the discussion would go: I would write about how it's unfair that we are expected to risk our lives, just to attract the high quality girls.
So while I'm here to get advice, I'm also here to get validation about how nature is messed up, and how we can change the rules to allow the weaker ones to have the same life as the stronger ones.
And if that idea triggers you then you still haven't healed enough.
This place is way too testosterone-y and I don't feel safe and accepted here.
I don't feel strong enough to be around these boards. I wish I was, but being strong, confident and manly scares me. I got punished for it in the past.
Not your fault, but if the mission is to help me, this is important info.
