    Had an experience with a high functioning autistic woman that has made me feel depressed.

    This is exactly what happened, I didn't even think we had the best romantic chemistry at the time due to her social difficulties and inability to hold a conversation (awkward silences, unnecessary rambling, exchanging information rather than communicating in a 'natural' way etc). However she...

    Had an experience with a high functioning autistic woman that has made me feel depressed.

    I've had time to reflect on it and this was the most accurate answer, I was ''had'' in an unintentional way. 1) Its very unlikely a working settled woman in her mid 40's would ever be interested in a 20 year old student from a romantic perspective/keeping in touch, exchanging social media...

    Yeah I do remember also during that last day we were talking she was speaking about future things such as referring to me and saying ''when you're married, in 10 years'' which insinuated that she didn't expect to keep in touch or anything beyond this.

    Also worth mentioning that when I did send her the second facebook request, she started editing her facebook privacy setting, making profile picture to friends only for example. It seems strange as she had no problem giving out her social media initially. Yeah it will be difficult to forget...

    Had an experience with a high functioning autistic woman that has made me feel depressed.

    I told her during that first night before we left ''will you be at the bar tomorrow night?'' She then replied ''yes'' and I told her ''Well I'll see you tomorrow night then''

    Had an experience with a high functioning autistic woman that has made me feel depressed.

    She knew my age before the kissing (I am 21) all along however would not disclose her own age (She is around 44 based on her social media information) and she was very defensive about it at the time. This particular interaction had occurred after she had gave me her Facebook two days later as...

    I didn't mean to offend or assume anything however it seemed it could have been possible and I made this post to perhaps get some insight into how she could have been thinking.

    Had an experience with a high functioning autistic woman that has made me feel depressed.

    This is a long story (excuse the very long post) but over this summer I went on vacation and spent around 10 days in a resort in a different country. I met this girl (who was from Canada and worked as a psychologist) initially as she had come to me and asked me for directions to the 'beach' I...
