Yeah, I too have realized that I’d probably rather never date again than date a non autist again.
I’ve tried with NTs, I really have, multiple multi year relationships.
It just doesn’t work. Too much work for me to half pretend I’m not autistic, and for them to half-pretend they’re not bothered by it, made uncomfortable by it.
Nope nope nope.
Would be nice to find someone who just fundamentally mentally functions very similar to how I do… and the great thing about being autistic is that we probably don’t actually need to have specifically similar interests… because if we like each other, we’ll just truly enjoy infodumping and also infoabsorbing basically any kind of topic, because learning is fun!
