Should autistics just date each other since we have a lot in common?

I mean one of my relatives said that I should just date an autistic man or a man with special needs since I’m also special needs because we have a lot in common and it’s relatable. She said, “I’m not telling you who you should date but I think a guy that is similar to you would be relatable and don’t be hung up on looks.” I mean she’s right she has a point, but if there’s no attraction, then forget it. What if another non autistic guy guy was interesting to me?
I’ve dated none disabled men but two broke up with me after they learned that I’m autistic. Well they both asked what was one thing that I didn’t know about me and I was open and honest with them. One I dumped because he was an ass to me. I meet guys but it never works and I don’t hear from them.
I’m done dating. I’m 28, almost 30. I’ll never find true love. Guys always throw me away and one of my dates said he doesn’t wanna be seen with a “stupid woman” and I’m not special.
Idk I’m on the spectrum as well and if someone is truly interested in you they would look past that you’re autistic. Some men just see autistic and think that we’re not worthy of love or see us as less than but a real man who really loves and cares about you would see you for the person you are and not the autism

I think your relative is rude. Just because two people share tbe same mental illness, it doesn't mean that they will always be friends. Maybe they will understand the struggles of being autistic.

I'm in my 40s,never been married and no kids.Remember that marriage is not an achievement!Things such as passing examinations with flying colours and getting a promotion at work are achievements though!

I don’t think it’s necessary that you find someone with autism. It’s just necessary that the other person loves you and understands you.

Just tell your relative to shut the fuck up.

You have a spectrum issue but doesn't mean that you can only date someone who has similar issue

None of us are special to everyone, but, we will always be special to someone. The key is being open to finding that someone who thinks we are special.
