How do you date when your autistic like what am I supposed to be looking for in a girl?

I strongly believe part of the reason I struggle with dating is I don’t have a clue what I’m supposed to be looking for

You know what you want, so look for that. Being autistic shouldn't change that.

I'm not talking physical traits, but I assume you want someone who'll understand or at least try to understand you; who is open to communicate and grow together; someone you can rely on and who can rely on you; someone you trust and feel safe with; someone who allows you to be yourself 110% and then some; someone who allows you to let your tears erode their shoulder like a cliff side; someone you can wake up next to and feel at peace with, etc etc.

Find someone who sees the good in you, and makes you want to be even better...

And I don't mean *allowing* in the sense that they have to give you permission, but find someone who'll make you feel safe enough to do and be and think and say all those things without ever having to question what they think of you.
And then be the same person for them.

lol... being autistic doesn't make you dumb... as an autistic person, you still know yourself, you know what you like and dislike... so use it...

and if you struggle, there is therapy for people with autism... ask your therapist...

You look for what you are wanting. Why would you want something just because everyone else wants it.

Stop using it as an excuse. It seems like a trendy thing to do these days.
