I find it strange having autistic people criticize others for being judgmental. What difference is "I can't stand 40 year olds who date 20 year olds" from not being able to stand smells, tastes, noises, asymmetry, etc?

Are you attracted to 20-somethings because of their age or coincidentally?
I'm not attracted to vegetarians, but it's hard to tell that from my dating and attempted dating history. I have trouble telling a 20 year old from a 30 year old. For that matter I find that 40 year old women either look 30 or 50.
I am kind of attracted to women in their early 20s even though I'm in my early 40s. And you're right, there is something wrong with me: I have autism. Because of my autism I've had very few relationships, and as a result I've lived alone most of my adult life. A single woman my age is probably divorced, often has kids, and usually has a lot more relationship expectations from experience that I can't meet.
I'm biologically in my early 40s, but due to going back to college where I'm at in my life is closer to typical early 30s, and my relationship experience is more like early 20s.
Not that it really matters. 20-somethings didn't want to date me when I was their age, much less now.
That said, it would awkward to start dating someone and find out their parents are the same age as me.
