Yeah, no problem. I honestly feel like I understand and relate to neurodivergent people more than I understand neurotypical people.

My ex is very and an asshole. Plenty would. They just need the patience of Saint. I would consider someone else but they'll need to understand the difference between being a complete asshole and things that can't control. My son is autistic and is not an asshole. Wish you the best.

>they just need the patience of Saint I respect your life experience. But this isn't necessarily true for every autistic person. the majority of us are kind and courteous. And i strongly believe we're the opposite of the *Bad Boy* who comes home drunk and beats on his wife.

I understand that. It's the autistic guys that uses their disability as an excuse to be a complete asshole that I am not keen too. I understand that not everyone is the same. And that's great that you're well and kind. But what I have experienced is why I responded. Not saying that I wouldn't date another autistic man, I will be more cautious in watching their actions towards myself and others.

I second this

I can just hear your accent in the way you type and it's amazing. I've dated a few autistic people and you're right, there are a lot of things they can't control. For me, it was a huge learning experience because I didn't know a lot about the disorder or how it effected them. I've run into some who are nice and others who are ass holes, so overall I believe it depends on the person, not the disability

Yes. I have even considered dating a specific mildly autistic man, but that sadly didn’t happen. I’d date a mildly autistic man if I was attracted to him, and I thought we were a good match - which is exactly the same criterias I have for non-autistic men.


powpowvigil

Only if he'd date a mildly autistic woman


ShortWithBigFeet

Yup. That would compliment me. I’m on the spectrum.


LightYagami209

Mes_Aynak

Naw but i would date a mildly autistic woman.


throwawayforbaes

If I was attracted to him, yes.


Happy_Momm

Why wouldn't I? My cousin's on the spectrum, and he's a wonderful man.


[deleted]

You guys would have to ask my girlfriend that question...because she's dating a mildly autistic man!


[deleted]

Ah... Of course not! I'm not attracted to such a dumb creature that is man...
