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.

I’m going to be very blunt and you’re not going to like it, but I don’t sugarcoat things. Most people don’t wanna date someone with autism. They don’t. You’re better off without that guy. Guys don’t wanna date an autistic woman. They want someone that’s normal. It isn’t your fault you have it but remember YOU asked. Maybe you’re just better off dating a guy with a disability. Date an autistic guy.

@PetiteJulie01 honestly I’m not surprised. I’m not surprised at all. I just don’t understand why they just don’t give me the chance. 💔😭
So you’re suggesting that I should just date someone on the spectrum too?

@Wiseacre Why not?

@Wiseacre Yeah. I hate to say it and it sounds blunt, but it’s the truth. Someone had to say it.
