I’m 36 and have never been in a romantic relationship before

Like others have said in essence, try to locate autism spectrum support groups locally or online. At least there you may find ladies who understand and have similar issues. I know "autism spectrum disorder" represents a wide range of clinical presentations, but it seems a good starting point. If you meet someone you may like, have zero expectations. For example, if you want to approach her for a date, be okay inside if she says no. Expectations really hurt me years ago. If things didn't go the way I wanted or liked, I'd mentally beat myself up. Which in turn would be self-defeating because I was not being the real me when I'd meet someone else.

Lots of men have had few romantic relationships. Not a big deal. It will happen for you when it's supposed to. Provided we get ourselves out there. Good luck!

I agree with Bigguy. But if u wanted advice in person u might have autism groups near u. Meet them.

Friend of mine is a mental health doctor says basically nowadays everybody is somewhere on the autism spectrum it is a better Way for them to pass blame instead of saying your shy, you just blame it on autism. Everyone is a victim....

Have you considered not being autistic?

Reach out online to people with autism who are in relationships or have been in relationships. Join sites with autistic members like Vent.

Join clubs/groups for autism. There's even dating coaches, meet ups, whatever for autistic people. 🧡

Get rich. You'll have all the women you want.

Use a vacuum ?

Isn't autism they detect during pregnancy? How come it took you 36 years
