Is your future romantic life decided when you are diagnosed with autism?

So multiple things I have noticed is no matter how much of a genuine good person you present yourself it’s not enough to overcome how she thinks of you because of the label and stigma of autism

secondly if you overcome that hurdle it gets even more difficult cause then she doesn't want any potential children with you because of the possibility they could also be autistic

Navigating the dating world with an autism diagnosis can indeed present some unique challenges, but it's far from deciding the fate of your romantic life. Authentic connections are built on understanding, compassion, and the spark that just clicks between two people, regardless of any labels. The right person will see you for who you are beyond the autism diagnosis. They'll appreciate your genuine goodness and the unique perspective you bring to the relationship. It's about finding someone who values inclusivity and sees potential challenges as something to tackle together, not deal-breakers. And as for concerns about children, that's a conversation grounded in shared values and understanding, well within the reach of two people deeply connected and committed to each other. Stay optimistic, your unique self is compelling, and there's someone out there eager to love you for exactly who you are.

Not so long ago they discovered that if the mother took Tylenol during pregnancy that it can cause autism. There are several class action lawsuits from this discovery. So, it's not always genetic. Plus there are tests that can be done while she's pregnant to test for birth defects.

My last boyfriend I was living with had severe ADHD. I have a son with learning disabilities, so I had some experience being around people with mental maladies.

You never know if someone you meet would be able to be with someone who is autistic. It would have to be someone very special though. But not impossible.
