Please be honest and don’t sugarcoat it. Is it true that nobody wants to date a person with Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome? [I Live With Autism]

Last month I posted a post asking autistic people if they’ve been dumped because they have autism/Asperger’s Syndrome?

One person answered this,
“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 dare 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.”

I hope someone can just look past out disability. I’ve been dumped three times because of it. I mean they asked me about something they don’t know about me and I was honest. I was hesitant to tell them but it was better if I told the truth.

No, that’s really not true. Although it can have it’s challenges. Often times people with aspergers date other people with aspergers 🙂

Often times people who are ignorant (not insulting just not knowing) to what autism and aspergers is they make incorrect generalized assumptions. It is still a poorly understood subject and they are building on it everyday.

Just be honest with people and upfront so that when someone finds out it won’t be so much of a shock 🙂
