Are autistic guys attracted to autistic girls?

Post Reply New Topic

I met my 2nd & current girlfriend on this site. I'm more attracted to women on the spectrum because NT women are not straightforward & direct enough for me & they get upset with me because I'm straightforward & direct.

It's true, and with 3 breasts too.

So thanks but no thanks.

The lady from Total Recall was a mutant, not an aspie-- they are actually two different things, regardless of popular opinion.

Well, some think male aspies are neckbeards and ret*ds, while I think female aspies are aliens and mutant (or both?).

Ok, so someone is ignorant and wrong and you're gonna beat them by what, being even more ignorant and more wrong? I don't question your credentials, you are very much human.

Truer logic has never been spoken! Why argue with someone when you can just run rings around their head with nonsense?

Personally, yes. But I'm not attracted to all autistic women, or only autistic women.

I'm attracted to women who are at odds with the world, who have an interesting perspective. Intelligent, thoughtful, insightful. I think there's probably a strong overlap between that and being on the spectrum, but it's not a necessity.

That Cracked video is great. As is this one:



"I want you to turn my life upside down with your whimsical joie de vivre."

"....what?"

Well, aliens are often pictured as more advanced than humans, so I don't see why *they* (as...They) would find it offensive. :p

Chill pal, only silly people would take that seriously.

It was more of a barb than being serious...that's why added in the dumb human joke at the end.

edit: We've had our disagreements Boo, but realize a little barb like that is actually because I feel comfortable with you and accept you. I generally just move on if I don't like someone. If it spurs an argument or a debate, even better, if I'm holding an argument with you that alone means I respect you-- I don't want to hear the opinion of people I can't respect, and I don't feel the need to waste any time on my part giving them mine.

If there's any cute petite autistic girls who happen to be into computers, back off boys. I got dis...

Bonus points if she's redhead.

My testosterone levels will be spiking.

I wasn't referrinf to you as silly, but to anyone who would find it offensive.

After all WP's mascot is a green alien.

Lemme guess, you have a neck beard.

Oh SH*T!!

You've made me realize something - my ex-girlfriend WAS a manic pixie dream girl, or at least even if she never meant to be, she did have those traits. Very awkward, quirky, innocent, childish, but at the same time she was more than a ditzy, starry-eyed little girl, as she was also extremely headstrong, intelligent, independent, etc.

I also do miss her very dearly, but I know I have to move on, so I still desire the exact same personality traits she had, but just in a different person.

I'm aware of MPD girl's, just forgot about it.

Though I also desire the more 'serious' and less playful, ditzy nerdy type girls. If it's any consolation, while both a writer and musician, I'm not particularly brooding or miserable about life.

If anything I'm ambitious, positive and childishly playful enough myself, I feel I could be a manic pixie dream boy to a moody, brooding goth gal, another type of females I coincidentally am attracted to (the shy, kind of depressed, soft, quiet ones that might be a little aggressive).

And i don't mean to talk derisively of neckbeards, just to explain the stereotype. And maybe it's just me, but even if my aspie best friend is a neckbeard, I find a lot of them tend not to be Autistic as well. It's possible to be socially ignorant without being autistic.

Thats not being autistic, thats just being a typical sjw.

Anyway, i as a autist spectrum wielding guy (can only speak for myself) am not really attracted to anyone but to the promising, i want to be swept off my feet, enthralled and inspired. What kind of person is attached to that doesnt matter to me. Then again i have no interest in becoming some kind of clay figure with someone, you know how they say 'fuse from two persons into one entity'.. oh god please no.

Im content with talking to myself even more than i could ever be with that.

I cant say im attracted to so called "artsy types" whatever that may be since the definition of art is no longer 'artistic' but 'expressive' wich i think kills the whole concept but ok. Lets say were talking about a girl that "draws".. (like every girl on the planet). No i wont be 'attracted' to such a demography in particular. Lets say i meet a girl who draws something that impresses and humbles me to tears. Ill be attracted to her creative mind then, still nothing else.

What is attraction anyway.. if were talking about physical attraction then you mean girls who look like they are artful regardless if they truly are as some kind of fashion statement?

Its all a bit confusing.

I still think "neckbeard" should refer to fat guys who shave their neck in attempt to make their face appear slimmer. That would make it an insult based on something they can actually control. I think it's mean to insult someone based on uncontrollable circumstances like the amount of facial hair they can grow to begin with. Because that would just be racist given the fact that beard growth is often a result of your ancestry.

I think what attracted me to my fiance (other than shes a petite redhead) was her calmness and openness to honesty. I had a lot of baggage to offload and did so on our first date as I felt comfortable with her (which was odd in itself). My honesty was respected. She didn't draw attention to anything that made me anxious, and her interests were similar to mine. She's modest and calming to be around. She's never made me feel like less of a man for my traits or thrown them in my face, in fact by her definition I'm more manly than most. She understands my abilities and shortfalls and works to accommodate them so seamlessly. She let's me be me and doesn't try to change me, she will listen to me drone on about something which she has no interest in. But with that said it is not one sided at all. I feel very lucky to have found her.
