Is my new friend also autistic?

I recently became friends with a girl that is super odd in a mostly good way. Even the non good ways aren’t that big of a deal.

She will randomly message me things such as pictures of a snack she bought at a convenience store. She’s also sent me many unsolicited pictures of her cat. One time she sent me pictures of her friend’s (that I never met) vacation. She also randomly texted me a picture of her with a hockey player she met six years ago.

I saw a movie with her yesterday. After it was over, she noticed in the credits that there was only one graphic designer for the movie but multiple ones for Lady Gaga’s cameo. She seemed oddly amused by this and told a stranger this behind us after she told me.

She legally changed her name to the name of an ancient Egyptian queen.

She mentioned having a young adult daughter once but never mentioned her again. Mathematically, she must have been a pregnant teenager to have a young adult daughter.

She casually brings up extremely traumatic experiences she has been through such as being raped or abused in other ways like it’s nothing. Im always uncertain what to say when she does this.

I told her I’m a nudist and she seemed super interested. She wants to join me at a nudist resort once it’s warm enough and we now hang out naked together when we’re at my place.

We haven’t known each other that long but she’s said multiple times that she thinks we will be friends for life (and I hope we are) because we don’t want to date but friendship doesn’t end. She also often tells me how much better I am than the many awful people from her past because I’m not like them.

She isn’t sure what religion she is and often goes to different churches that are a contradiction to each other.

I would say they look like fentanyl addicts but I don’t think fentanyl addicts deserve to be compared to such scum.

Long time United supporter in Canada considering visiting Old Trafford next season. I have some questions.

I’ve been a Manchester United supporter for 16 years and am a member of a Toronto fan chapter. I’ve seen Manchester United play live twice in America but never at Old Trafford. Now that we are going to qualify for Champions League again, I think next season would be a good time to visit. I’m hoping to time it to where I can see two games while I’m there. I plan to bring my Red Army Canada scarf with me.

Anything I should know or you would recommend? Here in Toronto, TFC games are pretty tame but there’s a small hooligan section. I imagine Old Trafford in its entirety would be like that section. As a tourist, would it be better to go to a game against a rival such as Liverpool or some team that will likely be regulated next year? Would pricing be a major difference? What about for different competitions? Like I said, I’m hoping to find a time where I can go to two games while I’m there.

Even non game things, what are good tourist things to do with Manchester or nearby cities?

I’m vehemently against circumcision and even got restored when I was 17 (look up foreskin restoration of you don’t know what that means). I mentioned this to my friend and while she agrees circumcision is wrong as most of Canada currently does today unlike it’s past, she thinks me getting restored is because I’m autistic. I mentioned I’ve met 3 other restored guys in my life as well as 3 others that attempted to get restored but it didn’t work. She told me they were probably autistic. While I suspect 2 of them were, I don’t think the other 4 were.

What does that have to do with anything? My parents actually said the exact same thing although I think part of that is because they want to feel better for what they are guilty of allowing. Imagine having a tattoo you hated forcefully given to you because your parents are idiots and being dismissed as just, “being autistic” when you got it removed. I don’t see the difference.

I thought this detail seemed odd because this would imply some guy couldn’t sit with his wife and they would have to separate and then meet up after the match was over. Was this the case or was the woman’s section only for single women? What about wives or daughters of important men such as senators? I assume the emperor’s family still sat with him.

It’s pretty astonishing how sexist people were back then.
