As consenting adults you can do as you both please. However with a realization of the possibility of widespread disapproval based on a perception of "social norms".

If you had that special connection with one person alone, would it be at the potential expense of others who might disagree with it ? For some, the possibility of reward might exceed its risks. Or not...

You're right its open double think. If it's a friendship that has potential in flourishing in to more, consider the vast majority of relationships fail. What youll be left with in it's ashes is the worst possible interpretation of your intent.

The unintended consequence of trying to connect with a potential friend/ life partner is overwhelmingly likely to be more social exclusion, the very same trauma wound you're trying to heal.

It's sensible to conform to the society that feeds and clothes you. There is no mirrored risk of social death for a woman who engages in an age gap relationship.

Too late. I did many times, but she is the only one who really understands because she has been around guys who have been, also she has friends on the spectrum.

She is a friend that doesn't judge you, it sounds like.
When you are feeling low, this is a thing to remember.
