Having trouble

I need help with this.. I seem to get sexually attracted to girls who are younger than me (13/14 yr olds) and I am 17. I am trying to stop this but can't completely. Is it ok to be in love with someone of this age when I am 17?

You should wait for 5 or so years. Then they will be around 18/19 years old. In the meantime, just go for ones around your age or older. After all they are only 3 or 4 years older than the ones that you are attracted to. So it's not that much difference.

I'd stick with the typical high school ages of 14-17 but it's pretty normal.

It may be OK for you to be friends with her depending on various things like if you know her from a club at school, a social club or if your parents are friends ect. but you should not make a move till she's a little older. Maybe you like her or like younger girls in general because you feel you can relate to them more or they are more on your level or they seem nicer more accepting of you to. Us Aspies tend to be immature compered to their peers; various things I read online say on average their mental age is a 3rd less than their physical age. I recommend not getting too serious with anyone till your both out of high-school. Relationships can be very complicated & difficult at that age even more so for Aspies.
