    If you can’t let your obsessions and natural thoughts all hang out with a person… were they partner mater- wait, well, you can’t do this with allistic people at all as an autistic person and allistics make up like 99% of the population.

    Always have to filter your thoughts at first. Let that stuff out in drips. Then once comfortable you let it all hang out.

      Ah then partner material needs to be autistic too.

      Not autistic, but I have ADHD and also feel the need to filter my thoughts with a lot of people, which is a bit difficult given the “blurt my thoughts out” disorder. I’ve begun to understood they’re not partner material for me, through no fault of their own.
