My personal advice to you would to not be focused on strictly looking for a girl with Aspergers, or a girl who is on the autistic spectrum.

I hate to use such polarizing language, but there are by far more neurotypical girls than there are autistic ones, because autism typically affects males. And even if there was a gal who was autistic, how could you be sure? A neurotypical girl who is shy, socially withdrawn, and quiet could be easily mistaken for being autistic when she's not.

It is my personal opinion that one shouldn't look to date certain people just because they have the same neurological disorder, physiological disability, race, background, etc. If they meet someone with the criteria I mentioned, and they hit it off, great! But by focusing solely on a narrow selection of people, you are excluding a large number of opportunities to meet other people that you might be compatible with.

Looking for a specific race isn't too difficult, especially if you can afford to travel :lol:
