it's okay to tell your partner you actualy autistic as long as you don't use it as an excuse.

Or says something like "disorders don't matter and are irrelevant"?



The second one, sounds like a great girl. :) If she doesn't care, no need to dwell.

I got that once with not believing I was autistic but eventually she started to see some similarities, did not work though because it was not what I thought it was.
Though I do strongly disagree that if she does not care means it is a good thing. It could mean she has the same expectations of you as the typical partner and may not address your needs in the relationship.

I got to let you guys know something, i have AS and I have been in a relationship with an amazing girlfriend who is NT for about six months now. After we got into a relationship she found out I had AS and we she did she love me more! She told me it was a total honor for her to be in a romantic relationship with someone who had AS. She says people with AS are so amazing and beautiful compared to NT.

I think more people in the world are starting to realize this and i think we need to continue to try to inform the world about what AS really is so people have a better understanding of it because even though AS can be a struggle sometimes, i do agree with my girlfriend it is a wonderful beautiful thing to have that no one should be ashamed to have.
