    A year ago was when I came to realize my autism-ness and also realized I was in the deep trenches of a burnout. I didn't know what I had been doing was masking for my entire life.

    They are the opposite sex, but come with the same personality as you

    What would be your reaction, to such a person. Positive or negative or just neutral. Both of you have the same personality, attitudes, interests, opinions. Have all the same idiosyncrasies. And don't say, well, I'm ugly. I would be repulsed by somebody like me. Just imagine, She/He is very...

    What is your temperament?

    Undoubtably my favorite personality type system is the 4 temperaments. A proto-psychological theory which states there are basically 4 types of people. The choleric, the melancholic, the sanguine, and the phlegmatic. Take the test here: OSPP Four Temperaments Test I'm a melancholic.

    Juxtaposing traits?

    When I was looking into advice on how to write fictional characters, I remember coming across the advice of giving your character two opposing traits that seem contradictory when viewed from a distance, but when given full context the two actually make sense together.

    Agreeableness and autism

    Is scoring low in agreeableness a personality predictor, not for being on the spectrum, but being officially diagnosed? Is autism ever associated with not only having difficulty understanding how one's actions make other people feel but not even caring?

    My Life Oblivious of Autism intro

    I am biologically a female, but I identify as gender neutral. Because of that, it took a little longer to figure myself out, and was always missed.

    People do change.

    I have noticed, after participating in a few online forums over a few years, that although personality structure remains fairly consistent throughout the life span, I actually do see some improvement in certain participants. It's easy to conclude when all a person's posts seem to revolve around...
