| Yeah I kind of feel that. When I came out in my teens, I didn't really click well with the other gays kids at school (except for my ex-boyfriend of course). Maybe it's because I just had different interests than them or was just a staunch individualist that distanced himself from community. But it w... |

| Did it for a while and just quit it last year. It was a dead end for me. I just prefer meeting people in person. Which is good because I put more effort into socializing and improve my social skills in the process. Besides, online dating is more akin to window shopping than actually purchasing somet... |

Oh no I would never do that to someone I met. I just noticed she may have been on the spectrum, but I wouldn’t have brought it up. |

| Yesterday I was in Hobby Lobby and I saw this girl in there looking around. I think she might of been on the spectrum as well. She was talking to herself and stimming, not really paying attention to anyone around her. I wanted to go up and talk to her, just start a conversation, but I just couldn’t.... |

Okay so I’ve been single since I was 17, I’m 24 currently. And honestly, I’m happy being single. Not that I’ve gi... |

| My last relationship was when I was 17-18, I’ve been single for about 7 or 8 years. I did have those feelings in the past, like “oh s**t I’m turning 25 soon and I’m still single”. But I’ve really learned to not worry about so much and focus on myself. I know some people can’t and what you’re talking... |

I came to the realization that “normal” relationships don’t work for me. When I date NTs, I feel they just don’t understand why I need my alone time and absorb myself in m... |

| I think it mostly rises from insecurity and societal pressure. We are all taught about what it means to have a life. Get a career, get married, have kids, have friends. It's just a big social construct. A construct that has the mentality that if you're alone, there's something wrong with you or you'... |

I've read a lot about how people with Autism have difficulty understanding certain types of humor, for example irony and sarcasm. So what sense... |
