@HerbsandDirt I am autistic in that age range. I specialize in diagnosing autism in older adults.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@stopvaccinating I'm autistic. We're not socially awkward with each other. Only cross-neurotype interactions are awkward. Same neurotype interactions are just fine. If the whole world were autistic, autism alone would cause no problems.

This is off the scale brilliant.

@kpagels2 @JeannaHoch @MattressBelow Why is it her responsibility? It's his responsibility to ask. Does kissing me mean you've changed your mind on no sex? Problem solved. Common sense. Ask.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@kpagels2 @JeannaHoch @MattressBelow This is the old, "She was asking for it" argument for justifying rape. It's not rape, even if she says NO, because she is secretly saying yes to my superpower signal detector that overrides all verbal NOes.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@kpagels2 @JeannaHoch @MattressBelow Agree that it is ridiculous that I have to explain: no means no; kissing ≠sex. Men cannot ASSUME kissing is a signal for sex, or wearing short skirts is a signal for sex. Take their WORDS seriously and don't read "signals." You're obviously BAD at reading signals.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@kpagels2 @JeannaHoch @MattressBelow Common sense is understanding that just because YOU see kissing as a signal for sex, doesn't mean she does. Some people think a woman showing her ankles or her hair means she is signaling sex. The signal sender determines the message, not the signal receiver. If not sure, ask.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@kpagels2 @JeannaHoch @MattressBelow When you say NO to sex at the beginning very very clearly, it is reasonable to expect a non rapist to make out and stop before it gets to sex. Billions of men stop on their own because they are not rapists. Rapists turn around and blame women for rape. Don't fall for that.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@kpagels2 @JeannaHoch @MattressBelow He ignored her "no" and pushed for unwilling sex. Unwilling sex is nonconsentual sex is rape. People who commit rape are called rapists. Excusing and condoning rapists adds to the trauma, like the woman doesn't count.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@JeannaHoch @MattressBelow Unwilling means no consent means rape. Rape includes BOTH physical and coercive rape. Unwilling, non-consentual sex is traumatic. Autistic and previously traumatized women often can only say no with words or they freeze up. Words need to be taken seriously.

[Helen San @HelenSan]

@JeannaHoch Rape is sex that is NOT consensual. 1) Absence of fighting back does not mean consent. Many women, especially if they are Autistic or previously traumatized, do not leave or give in to coercion. 2) Some women only know how to say NO with words. No means no. She was raped.

A nice playlist for a pensive afternoon. Also, missing Dr. Horner, Mr. Morricone, and Mr. Kamen.

@JustineBateman An autistic meltdown can also look like this.

@karenmitchell__ I think of it as the psychopathy spectrum.
