I think I would get sadder if I lost an autistic girlfriend rather than a neurotypical/AD(H)D one, It's like losing someone very valuable who you'll never meet another sort of again and I'm glad I've learned from my mistakes so that if I get together with an autistic girl I would be more careful with what I'm saying and doing.

It sounds to me like you are saying you would love an autistic girlfriend more than an NT one, so I would suggest that as long as you feel that way you don't date NT ones.

Of course, I think if you met the right girl, NT or not, you would feel she is so precious that you might never meet someone like that again, and always be careful about not hurting her. That is what people do and feel when they care about someone, and you shouldn't date someone if you aren't capable of caring about them.

I think this is silly. And I agree with the above poster.

To me, the neuro-status of a potential lover is pretty irrelevant. If I fall in love with an Aspie, I fall in love with an Aspie. If she's neurotypical, then she's my lover, too.

I read about a guy with ADHD who cried rivers when his ADHD girlfriend broke up with him and he said that they both have ADHD when they were together so I think he liked her even more because of that, I myself think that it would be interesting to have sex with an autistic person at least 1 time but relationship-wise it doesnt matter that much.
