    Do you like being autistic?

    Depends how you define girlfriend. There was a girl from my church who took it in her head that I was her future husband. I had no romantic interest in her, but I didn't want to be rude or hurt her feelings, so we had a very one-sided "relationship" for a few months. We only ever saw each...

    Beginning friendships - mutual initiation, or not??

    You give me too much credit. At the family holiday gatherings, I am very quiet unless one of the two techie relatives is there. Then we'll find a corner somewhere and update each other on our tech interests. Small talk dodged.

    Do you get along better with people with autism or NTs?

    Do you like being autistic?

    Not so absolute. Many of us gravitated to the sciences instead.

    Do you like being autistic?

    We retroactively decided that the second time we met and I took her and her son fishing was our first date. It was also my first-ever date.

    Do you like being autistic?

    I was 39 when I met my wife-to-be. Neither of us were actively looking for a relationship at the time. Circumstances brought us together, and we were both open to the idea. We both shared what we considered our biggest flaws, and neither of us ran off screaming. A year after we met, we married...
