Have you ever been dumped for being autistic? [I Live With Autism]

I’ve been dumped three times because of my autism (Asperger’s).

One guy found out that I have autism and distanced himself from me and then he said he didn’t want to date someone with a disability and broke my heart. (July-August 2011)

The second time I got dumped my boyfriend at the time asked me what is one thing about me that he doesn’t know. I hesitant to tell him but I just told him about my Asperger’s. He had no idea what that was and I had to explain to him. Everything was fine but then a month later he also broke things off with me. (September 2012 - March 2013)

And then my current ex-boyfriend I dated for three months (January-April 2021) went behind my back and cheated on me with another girl and he didn’t want to be with a woman with Asperger’s.

I’m afraid that I’m never going to get married or have a family of my own because no man’s gonna wanna there a woman with autism (Asperger’s). I guess I meant to stay single. I’m 27 i’m three years away of turning 30.

Idk what to tell u...many ppl without autism can’t find a suitable life partner. Just don’t despair about it...love happens when u least expect it.

@Wiseacre yeah that’s true. My older brothers told me that I should be glad that they dumped me because they weren’t right in their trash. I hated every boyfriend I had. That the two and they’re not afraid to call it as it is. They cared about my safety brother trying to make me happy sugarcoating it. They really know how to tell the hard truth and hurt my feelings but they don’t care they’ll tell it anyway. It sucks getting our heartbroken but it’s life.
