| Most people meet someone via friendship circles, problem is that most autistics have very few to no friends for obvious reasons. Having an active social life is still the #1 causal way of meeting potential partners. People tend to have less active social life as they get older too. This is probably... |

| Hot take: if Autistic women were more willing to try having relationships with Autistic partners rather than NTs, the relationsjips would have a lower chance of being abusive. |

| Hiki is known around these parts. The main issue with it is that there aren’t enough people on it, and the high male-to-female diagnosis ratio of Autusm makes an Autustic-exclusive dating app a lot less practical (at least for straight Autistics) than most of us would like to admit. Yes I find that... |

RE sports: perhaps the reason so many Autistics avoid them (both team and individual) is that we tend to have deficits in both gross and fine motor coordination to varying degrees.
I personally enjoy hiking and swimming more than sports and going to the gym. |

| Agreed that Zakatar shouldn't be looking in "bars and other vanity fairs." But, to be fair, Zakatar is talking about the situation of "average-looking, average-earning" autistic men, not "average-looking, average-earning" NT men, and he's talking specifically about the... |

| Hot Take: There is another side of this coin. Since most NT women won’t give us the time of day unless we’re at least a 9/10 on the looks scale (which the vast majority of us obviously aren’t), Autustic women need to become more open to dating Autistic men too. The amount of Autistic women I’ve met ... |

| Well cishets only seem to value body parts, not people, and it’s hard to meet non binary queer people like me… :alien: :king: Bit of an overgeneralization, don’t you think? As a cishet guy, not all of us only care about “body parts”. LGBTQ+ Autistics actually have it easier than straight Autistics ... |

Neither of us had ever planned on dating another person with Aspergers and we both tried to have relationships with neurotypicals but it just never worked out for us since we would both always creep them out and c... |

| The one relationship I’ve had, which was earlier this year and lasted about a month and a half, was with an Autistic woman. It ended when she decided she liked women more than men. Definitely couldn’t date an NT, but it’s super hard to find Autistic women due to lack of infrastructure (doesn’t help ... |

| Most Neurotypicals dislike socially awkward people full stop. The solution is to find friends & a partner who is neurodiverse & understands :heart: I wholeheartedly agree, but that is a lot easier said than done (especially if you’re straight!) due to the lack of neurodiverse community infr... |

Hell, I’d probably have an easier time getting Australian passport than that family since my father is an Australian citizen, despite the fact that I’ve neve... |
