Should you date someone autistic if your on the spectrum yourself?

Like with the way I recently had a bad breakup centered around many things connected to my autism and simply not being accepted for who I was it has led me to believe that my only chance in a relationship is possibly another girl with autism that I wouldn’t be accepted by a normal girl.

No I would think it would be even harder as u would also have to deal with her querks

But dude I just had a girl breakup with me due to my querks funny thing is she’s supposed to be empathetic and understanding cause she’s a social worker

[boggboss]

Being empathetic don't mean she would inherently be able to deal with u long term and if she couldn't its her right to leave u can't hold it against her for not being able to have a relationship with u its just unfortunate and just because this one eneded shit don't mean that's what the norm will be

Ok well I do know I disclosed this at the start of the relationship and she made no effort to understand me she just started calling me names such as nuisance

[boggboss]

How do u know she made no effort to understand sorry

[boggboss]

Is it not possible that she tried to be understanding at first but couldn't keep up with it or was she just a asshole from the start at which point why wouldn't u have ended things
