Would you date someone with autism, ADHD, BPD, OCD, PTSD, or similar diagnoses?

[mamysandycandy]

Some people seem to not mind much if its mild and not to severe.

Other don't mind if its severe diagnosis, love is love no matter the hardship

And other would never want/dare to be with someone with any of those diagnosis or have any energi or patience.

It depends. On a lot of things.

Everybody is bad at some things. I can't dance to save myself, for example. The fact that the thing some people are bad at has a DSMV name doesn't make it worse. Autism for example is such a broad description of impaired function that it ranges from people that are socially awkward through to people incapable of meaningful human relationships.

And it depends how good a partner they are in other areas.

Of your list, only BPD (borderline personality disorder) I would flat out decline to be involved with again.

[MrChinaski]

One of the most important indicators for me would be whether someone is working to improve. Disorders can generally be managed in a way that improves quality of life and relationships. A person that is working hard to make the most of the hand they have been dealt is a lot more attractive prospect than someone who is wallowing in their condition, or indeed taking steps that exacerbate it.

But that's not just about mental health. If a person doesn't care about themselves, their development, their life trajectory, their contribution to the world... then why would I date them?

Love is love im the type of person that can see both sides of everything I have big patience if I can feel the person's energy and it's love then I don't mind at all

If you think about it none of us are perfect and who wants to be is that imperfection set you apart

We should all be looking deeper to the inside and for the good because the flaws in time go away

Like they say love conquers all

I don’t think I could handle it. I already can’t stand being around men even when they’re being normal.

[mamysandycandy]

😂😂😂the second sentence was funny

[MrChinaski]

lmao

[Nikki1989]

If they didn't hide behind it, or use it as excuse for everything they do or say, sure.

[slatyb]

I don't care about labels, I care about behavior. Narcissism is a deal-breaker, been there, done that.

[queenofcardio]

Depends on the severity and how they're handling it.

[OneViewpoint]

I probably wouldn't date them. Friends? Sure. But not a romantic relationship.

[bowenw]

Those diagnoses would not stop me from dating someone I found interesting.

[CaptainSmartass]

Yeah. I'm autistic myself, so I'd be a massive hypocrite if I didn't.

Simples...

[Anonymous]

Yes, I have ASPD and those people make vulnerable peasants to play in my manipulation games.

[Anonymous]

If I liked her enough, I'd certainly give it a try. I have plenty of my own issues.

[Bradleyyeldarb]

I recognize I have some labels. And sometimes it’s easier to date similarly

[NathanDavis]

I have.. some of those

[AngryCarl3]

Autism, ADHD, PTSD yes.

BPD. OCD no.

[jahaims]
