I'm autistic and feel that I am not as good at dating because of it and have had bad luck overall. I met a woman and connected really well with her and it turns out she is also autistic which explains why the connection and communication has been much better.
But, some people I know do not feel good about the relationship, particularly my family, because of a 16 year age gap between me and her. We are both of legal age, so nothing illegal is going on. However, I finally found someone I really feel things are going well with and I don't feel I should just exit the relationship all because of an age gap alone.
It's like people expect me to just have more options lined up where I can just dump one, and find another one that I love just as much. And I assume in the ND dating world that people are more open minded to making compromises more on things like this, than an NT person would be?
But what do you think? Is it normal for people to be considerate about something like that, but if the relationship is good, no need to worry? Thank you very much for any opinions!
