Well I feel there is something obvious here that my parents are not considering... I am autistic and I do not have the same maturity level for a 37 year old compared to other people my age.
I feel that I have the same maturity level as her after we went on a few dates, which is why I think it's been going really well. So that is the reason why we seemed to have clicked is because my maturity level is psychologically lower, because of my condition.
But my parents want me to date someone my own age, even if it means the woman's maturity level will be much higher than mine therefore, because of my condition. If that makes sense?
Have you had this conversation with your parents? If so, and they refuse to accept/understand, that's their problem and if I were you I'd politely ignore them and do as I wished. If not, perhaps it's time for you to have this conversation with them in an attempt to get them to understand.
Fwiw, I Completely get where you're coming from 100%. I'm always attracted to ppl younger than me And get along WAY better with them for the same reasons you listed. Sure, I'm of at least average intelligence, maybe above.. but I don't really "click," with people my age - they're at an entirely different emotional & maturity stage of life than I am.
