@shanboody: After Chrisette told the man she was dating that she’s autistic, he said, “I have a nephew who’s autistic and he doesn’t act like you.” It was heartbreaking, but also revealing. What he saw as simple preferences—earplugs, quiet rooms, dim lights—were actually the ways she keeps herself regulated. Autism doesn’t have one look, one sound, or one story. #LoversByShan #ChrisetteMichele #AutismAwareness #Neurodivergence #AutismAcceptance #LoversPodcast

I’m hearing ppl say she is brave. This women is trying to redeem herself after the trump inauguration and using ASD to deflect.

Autism shows up so differently in women than it does men. I wish more people understood this.

I just met a man a month ago , and his response was “ you got this, it doesnt define you “ it was refreshing having someone protect my energy.

People don’t believe women when they say they’re autistic. I get it all the time and it’s exhausting.

I’m autistic and have ADHD. The comparisons of autistic spectrums devastate me. Autism can look differently on different people & many infantilise us too. Thank you for sharing, Chrisette. 🩷

My therapist gently told me, you cannot compare autistic traits of kids to yourself as an adult. My mind was so blown. & that’s how I had the pipeline of getting my daughter diagnosed>my ADHD diagnosis>my autism diagnosis.

Psychology student here to give my two cents: Autism in women is often overlooked, as many mask their traits more effectively and remain underrepresented in research in comparison to males, it's so disheartening that she had to experience this, so brave❤

I think that’s why it’s so important to date someone in your same educational and / or emotional intelligent bracket.

I get why she was frustrated but how are y’all upset because people are ignorant to this matter? If they haven’t had to deal with forms of autism how do you expect one to act or respond to this. Damn give people grace.
