I never said I don’t want your help. Don’t put words in my mouth.
Dear Mark,
I have read a tremendous amount about Asperger’s and could pass any test on what is believed by the most celebrated dating experts on the planet, today. It clearly sounds to me like you could use the support of a therapist, but there’s a big problem, finding those that are knowledgeable of Asperger’s, that’s why I educated myself. Once you find someone, it will probably be likely that you should read some books on this subject because it is not simple or easy. 2 experts are Maxine Aston and Tony Atwood. It is so difficult that the great Dr. Temple Grandin. (a very famous person who was the first person to give us an inside out description of what it’s like to grow up with Asperger’s) has chosen not to have an intimate relationship.
There is free help on YouTube. One channel is called, “Asperger’s From the Inside Out” and it is great and also there is Mark Hutten.
My Aspie and I must’ve dated 100 people before we met. You were looking for a needle in a haystack, and it’s worthwhile to keep that in mind. And not take dates that seriously. Finding a girl is such a common problem for Aspies that there’s a whole Netflix series that focuses on the dating aspect called, “Atypical.” That series at the YouTube can at least make you feel less lonely and less odd.
Good luck!
