Asperger's & Autism Forum

Probably because you experience your life through the lens of being you.

Taking an overview would reveal patterns of experience that are similar, but
still do nothing to forward a feeling of commonality.

Take *Even among other autistics, I don't fit in.*
That's a common saying.
People who express that rarely acknowledge or appreciate that by
voicing that opinion, they're "members" of a large group.

Don't worry -- you're still unique in other ways! Just not this one

@AngelWitch I really don’t like how I don’t have a special partner and have to go through my life alone.

Men are very nice on the spectrum. Maybe look for a girlfriend who is also on the spectrum. I think l felt very understood, and could be my authentic self with this person. But the take away, was the passion was very overwhelming. Lol

@AngelWitch I prefer a woman not on the spectrum.

Why, because even NTs find it hard negotiating dating and relationships. And as somebody who takes things negatively, you have it much harder. Like I and many have told you, men still have to do the work of being vulnerable for that critical first approach.

To add, I think my experience was unusual. We were looking for the same thing in a life partner. That made it far easier becoming friends and lovers. Plus, our acceptance of each other despite earlier hardships at attracting somebody made us feel secure in our relationship.
