"What is it about these people?"
A thread on abused women, autistic people... and a question asked backwards.
Researchers have spent a great deal of time trying to work out what kind of woman is especially likely to end up in abusive relationships. Which personality traits make women susceptible.
They've also spent a huge amount of time (and money) pondering over what it is about autistic people that makes them not fit in with other people.
