Quoting a Quora user:
One reason people with autism may not form long-lasting intimate relationships at the same rates as the general population is that they are usually not given the chance to practice such social skills in their middle school and high school years, nor are these issues resolved in support plans that are supposed to help them transition from adolescence to adult life.
To learn more about romantic relationships and autism, check out the film Autism In Love
Source: Romance and Autism: Dating is more than possible for people with ASD - Autism Awareness. (2019). Retrieved 3 August 2020, from Romance and Autism: Dating is more than possible for people with ASD - Autism Awareness
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-rate- ... se-that-do
Another study claims:
The findings suggest that many middle-aged adults with autism have little independence.
Now I don't know if they are including all level of severity, let's collectively search for more such info; how much exactly of us are ever married?
And I think we should conduct a such survey on WP too.

Data 
I'm all about it!
I consider myself moderate to high functioning, was officially diagnosed at 16 with asd....
I was married but divorced due to ex huband's refusal to accept my autistic traits ("you could be normal if you wanted to, you're just being difficult on purpose")
I am unemployed, but I have had employment in the past.... I have a very hard time convincing employers to hire me though, even though I have a college degree and almost 20 years experience now....
I currently have a bf, but again, finding a partner was very difficult, and I was rejected a lot, or attracted people who wanted to take advantage more than they wanted an actual relationship.....
So in general, my data probably aligns with these reports, but I can also defy the odds.....

Make this a poll for ASD people regarding married, relationship, single but separate men and women.

I never liked Statistics, so: Married!
P.S. Pepe...I'm unclear on who you're saying was too smart.

Data is too aspie, therefore likely single.

Hey, that1weirdgrrrl, "electronic devices" might not be as safe as you think.

He has a phallic add-on.
He can do the deed, and not just look purdy.
