Are Those With Autism Usually Late Bloomers Dating Wise?

Is it possible to ever recover from the feeling of despair resulting from not having met your partner until you're older?

I'm worried I may one day face the same problem

I dated for the first time at nineteen, not too far behind the average. However, I never really had much of a dating life thereafter. At 52, I feel as though I'm destined never to bloom in that area. I am the kind of person that people look to for factual knowledge, but nobody has ever expressed any sort of romantic interest in me. I am making a lot of positive strides in my life, getting out in the world socially and, one day, just maybe things will change. I feel that, the more I focus on that, the more disappointed I'll feel. I will continue to live my life and improve myself and maybe someone will see the real me who is slowly emerging.
