Could you date and fall in love with someone who has Autism?

I don't think I personally could, but that's because two people who find emotions difficult to deal with would be unbearable. One of us has to be able to deal with teenagers sensitively and it isn't me... I'm not autistic, but I have a background where feelings were not allowed. Breaking that pattern is one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I need someone without the same baggage...

I think some people definitely could, though, especially on the spectrum. There are wonderful high-functioning autistic people, and they have worked very hard to adapt.

I can... definitely

Love works in mysterious ways & if I date someone that happens to have autism & we happen to click I’m sure I can fall in love with her. On the flip side if she is one of those autistic individuals that hums all time & doesn’t know she doing it I would say hell no.

I am autistic myself but ultimately I think as long as you mesh well with the other person and are true to each other, really loyal.. that's special and worth the inconvenience of autism or other disabilities you can work on. A lot of people can overcome.

[Amandanator]

You are such a sweetheart

[Juxtapose]

Aww thank you that means a lot 💕

[Juxtapose]

You are too.

I fell in love with a man that had ADHD (Attention Deficit Hypersensitivity Disorder) which I believe is one of the hardest mental disabilities a person can have. It is a horrible affliction.
Autism us a spectrum. There are many varieties of Autism. Each individual displays their own way it effects them.
Some people say you can't help who you fall in love with. So, it is possible to love and have a romantic relationship with someone who is Austic.

Sure, you can love a person with Autism but I don’t know if it’s possible for that person to love you.

[Amandanator]

They can definitely feel love. I watched Love on the Spectrum on Netflix and it was adorable.

[Jennz6]

I suppose?

[jahaims]

90% of the people commenting do not understand what autism is.

[Amandanator]

I can see that lol

[sawno]

I always got along well with autists so its very possible.

[paledreams]

I'd prefer a somewhat autistic woman of my dreams hahaha or maybe I'm confusing for some slight OCD or slight anxiety plus OCD 👀👅😛💟😋😈♀️🫡

[Kelley1]

Not likely. I would if I was ugly or fat because that might be my best option.

[Amandanator]

Well being skinny as a twig doesn’t always make a person attractive either.

[Kelley1]

That is a minority opinion. Most people believe fashion models are beautiful and to be a "fashion model", you need the following when you start:

1. Be between 15-19 years old.
2. Be between 5'9" and 6' tall.
3. Be thin. Really, really thin. Something like 105-115 pounds, except for Plus models, who can be dress sizes 10-20 or so, depending on the market.
4. Don't have especially large breasts (34C is generally the upper bound of acceptable), lots of stretch marks, tattoos, piercings or highly tanned skin. Dark skin is fine, lots of tan is not fine.
5. Be beautiful. Not necessarily pretty, but beautiful.

I am not a fashion model but I wish I was beautiful enough to be one and certain I am not thinner.

[Amandanator]

Men these days don’t need a fashion model. A really desperate man (most are these days) will take any woman who is kind. She doesn’t have to be the exaggerated type that you are mentioning especially when the literal odds of a man dating a model is slim to none. The bottom line answering my question is you won’t date someone with Autism and that’s ok, it’s your choice.

[molonski2]

No , I could not deal with I believe , too much to put up with.

[Nikki1989]

Anything is possible.

[Amandanator]

Yes it is ❤️

[LaurenM1997]

It doesn’t matter to me if someone has a disability and we date I have one myself

[OlderAndWiser]

Very unlikely.

[thomastown]

I probably could not because I don't know anything about it.

[Anonymous]

Reminds me of someone I want to forget about but I have decided not to write all of them off completely just as long as we are sexually compatible

[avery58]

I guess it would depend

[paledreams]

How high functioning and how discreet, so to speak? 😛😋🫡

[avery58]

@paledreams yeah it would depend on how functional they are

[paledreams]

I like OCD women and slightly anxious women - humble accident prone caucasians, lol - basically a submissive female version of me lol and smaller than me, except where it counts 🤍 🥛🥛 😆🥈😋

[paledreams]

And heights and germ phobias - yourself? Any of those lol? 😂😉

[avery58]

@paledreams heights yeah. I don't like germs but it's not like I have a phobia

[paledreams]

You are afraid of heights also and dislike germs also? 👀

[4ngelic]

if it was obvious unlikely

[NathanDavis]

Yes.

[exitseven]

I am thinking that I would not.

[dudeinohio]

Sure

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No..

[In_Trance]

Never
