I'm marrying one in a few weeks! :D It has worked out wonderfully. I communicate with him more easily and comfortably than I have ever communicated with anyone! I think it's because we are both inherently very honest and both need to communicate in a very direct, open, verbal way, and understand each other's feelings, thoughts, and needs quite well. In this way, and in other ways, I think relationships between aspies can be very successful :)

My ex husband (my childs father) is an aspie. We were great together for a long time, it was our aspie traits that broke us up. (had it not been for other things we would probably still be married.)

I would love to have the chance to date an aspie. It's just that I've never met an aspie that lives anywhere near me.

i've found aspie love a few times :heart: it had its own unique challenges, but also its own unique rewards :D *goes all wistful* i found the rewards so deep and worthwhile, it was amazing to feel connected to someone similar. i wouldn't really consider relationships with NTs now. what relationships i've had with NTs were confusing and difficult and draining, and ultimately unrewarding too :cry:

Now you mention it, I did meet Aspie woman at English grammar class. She is more talkative and social for Aspie. I don’t know much about Aspie woman at all, we have more in common then 99 percent of woman. She is an Atheist, likes movies like, Lord Of The Rings and hates soap opera.

While I am trying to denounce all geeky things from my life in order to find a partner, She however does not. I guess she has not been on this NT planet as long as I have and to need, and find being different really sucks.

My workmate said was looking at my message and she wanted to know what an Aspie was I said Geek, this is not completely accurate because I don’t come off as a stereotypical geek and neither does she. I am sure the rest of the world see her as an NT; however, I don’t think that they would see me as one or they might see me as a slow NT or something.

The vast majority of people just bore me to death! I don't think I would make it very far in the company of someone totally 'normal'. In fact I'd probably run screaming on the second day.

Same here, I tried fit in and not think logically and scientifically, one time I decided to go to Church and get used to excepting and agreeing with crap. But I could not stand the selective morality, hypocrisy, and disrespect religions that have more conservative views. I had to say what needs to be said, and I said it in front of 200 hundred.

One thing I cannot get used to is NT lies and dogma. One time a Christian said to me “The truth will set me free”. I said ,the truth, we Aspies are the angel of the blimin truth, you want to know the truth, then talk to those who are less inclined to lie.

Don’t get me wrong, I live in an office full of NT’s but I love them all, however I don’t think that most NT’s would see me as a good catch.
