I don't like to generalize but perhaps I can learn something since I have this question. I'm a hetero female with HFA. I've always had a very difficult time after a relationship ends. It awakens everything like I'm to blame, I'm so weird/difficult/react so strangely and other people don't, etc.
Do autistic males just not care? Move away from the thing that is associated with pain and focus on special interests, work, not feeling? Like machines, wood working, computer programming...things that don't have feelings seem like they are good when an autistic man wants to run away?
I'm sorry I'm not phrasing this very well. Seems like autistic men can just shut off like the relationship never happened, blame the person, falsely believe relationships shouldn't stress them out and if the person does, they are to blame.
