A question for autistic people. Is the guy I'm seeing correct?

Hello, I am an African American woman currently seeing a white autistic male. He said something to me that made me do an eyebrow raise. He told me that autistic men usually don't go for black women because we are "too loud" and "overstimulating". He then proceed to compare us to Asian women and said that autistic men prefer Asians because they're are quieter and not Overstimulating.

He told me in the past that his type are Asian women and I asked him, "what does that make me?" He claims that I am a "new type" to him.

What are your thoughts? Please be 100% truthful

He is used to the negative stereotypes and lacks experience. As an autistic person they are more likely to put people into a box like that. I am high functioning and understand nuance. It sounds like he lacks that ability in this case. I am personally equally attracted to all races. It sounds like he is talking about cultural habits more so then actual race. He grew up with those stereotypes being reinforced via friends/family or media.

I have noticed some Asian women can be quieter, but I don't know enough black women to say if they are louder than other any other women. Being autistic, he may like to compartmentalize. I wouldn't take it personally.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

While he probably doesn’t intend any harm and that may be based off of his personal experience with the cultures of such people, he’s probably a little racist and doesn’t realize it.

It seems he's lived off believing in may stereotypes and is shocked to realize people aren't all the same even within the same race, he sounds judgy but at least he said what he thinks I guess

Why ask us? He was 100% truthful with you. The stereotype of black women is that you're loud and difficult.
