What type of girl does it take to date someone on the spectrum?

[Anonymous]

So for the longest I was under the belief that it was a girl who accepts and understands you and I fell for that then in the relationship she refused to learn about my disability and how it affects our communication she would also bully me based on issues related to my social anxiety and ocd. She also said she could date someone normal

Dude that really sucks, I'm sorry to hear she was so insensitive about your situation. You don't deserve to be treated like that at all.

It takes a special kind of girl to date someone on the spectrum for sure. Someone who is understanding, patient, and willing to learn what you need to feel comfortable and supported. Bullying you about your challenges is just super uncool.

I think what's most important is finding someone who doesn't see your disability as a negative thing, but as just another part of who you are. They should like you for your whole self. Communicating openly and educating each other is key too.

It sounds like you really tried with that girl and she wasn't willing to meet you halfway. Her loss! Don't let it get you down - there are definitely caring girls out there who would be sensitive to your needs. You just have to put yourself out there and be willing to explain your situation to help someone understand.

I say don't settle for less than someone who accepts and respects all of you. You deserve a girl who appreciates you for you! Don't lose hope - I'm sure there's a great match if you keep looking. And don't be afraid to be picky this time so you find the right fit. You got this dude!

You had a bad one, the right girl will be understanding of it and love you for who you are. Your original belief I also belief, but if you meet the wrong person it won't hold up. Then its time to look for someone who values you.

Yes but this girl was supposedly understanding

Doesn't matter if she either lied or didn't know herself enough, you need a girl who actually understands.
