Wishing you didn't have AS/Autism

Post Reply New Topic

That they wish they didn't have to deal with your AS/Autism sometimes and that they saw it as something limiting them?

I've been taking some time to reflect on my recently ended relationship. My ex told me multiple times she saw it as something that limits her and that sometimes she wished she didn't have to deal with it.

I feel kind of crappy now and am wondering if I'll ever have much hope with girls if I'm honest about that with them.

Do you guys ever have that same concern, and have you ever heard that from your SO in the past?

Over the years I've had a number of relationships where someone has said that they're aware that I have AS and they're prepared to deal with it and live with it, then later on they leave because they find out that it's not as easy as it first appears. So yes, I constantly wish that I wasn't autistic.

However......................

There are a select few who say that your AS isn't a problem and mean it. When I told my girlfriend she gave me a big hug, said "I wondered what it was", and then sat there with a big smile. That was six months ago and she's still around.

There is hope.
