You know, Matty, after having watched your video, I think you're kind of an awesome dude. I had trouble following some of it because it was fast, though I paused it sometimes to read it better, and also some of the words were small, which I know you already apologized for, so it's okay. I was able to get most of it, despite some of my reading issues. Thanks for doing and posting the video! I think that someday, some really sweet girl who will understand and be kind to you will come into your life. Please be patient. I had to wait a long time for such a thing. I was 32! But you seem like a good person, you're nice looking, and you take good care of yourself. One day, someone who appreciates that will love you. Maybe she'll even either know about these ways to take care of herself too, so you'll have that in common, or she'll want to learn about them from you, and you'll work on it together. Then you'll have an activity to share. 
(Fitness and natural healthcare are cool. My girlfriend and I are working on that, too.)
I think that, after waiting until an old enough age to have enough time to develop and learn, Aspies can have relationships that are, in some ways, better than other people's. This is because we already are practiced in working on things. NTs get things intuitively, so they assume they don't have so much to figure out or work on. We get good at it.
I was very lonely, with no relationships and few friends, until I found my girlfriend. But I really think I could've been taken advantage of and abused if I'd gone along with some of the women who wanted me way back before I was ready. Also, I may have had some women interested in me without my having been aware of it. I sometimes got surprised because I didn't know someone was flirting with me, and then she'd get upset because I wasn't responding. That's how I found out one of those women was interested in me. She actually cried and got mad at me, which made me very uncomfortable. But, eventually, I found the love of my life, after many years of unrequited feelings and sadness on my part. Have hope. All your waiting will be worthwhile. When you finally do find someone, everyone who cares about you will be so happy for you!! !
Best of luck - with your education, all your plans, and your future with love!
