I have a form of autism called Asperger‘s that makes it hard for me to date because most woman don’t understand it.
Always blaming the women.
Nah youre just autistic. Aspergers isn't a thing anymore. You should look into why. Named after a horrible dude. Its a good thing
I was just educated on this as someone who was originally diagnosed Asperger’s myself and was horrified
Aspergers isn't a valid diagnosis anymore. It was assimilated in with ASD.
Sir or madame, you're projecting. It's you who doesn't understand regular people and how dating works. Sincerely, someone who's dated multiple autistic men
I dont think i could ever! Unless maybe high functioning. Otherwise id feel like i was taking advantage which is creepy and not my thing.
You're projecting.
You have to keep meeting women until you finally find the special one who gets you. It's tough, but it's worth it.
no one even uses the term aspergers anymore so update your lingo first
it IS in the DSM 5 manual under Autism Spectrum Disorder. why don't YOU get your lingo straight and stop undermining mental disabilities or just go study psychiatry? otherwise shut the fuck up.
you know the dsm 5 is over a decade old? I said they don't use that term anymore. outdated. you're so fucking dumb.
why is everyone being such a dick in the comments
Because it’s the way people are see people think I am whining but I am just speaking my truth.
Autistic people are literally always treated like this. I have a lower opinion of humanity because I've seen that more than once.
Skill issue
Asperger's isn't really a thing anymore though
They don't call it that anymore because Dr. Asperger did atrocious shit to the people especially those that were diagnosed with the condition. It is autism spectrum disorder.
I grew up with it called that so it’s just what I continue calling it back when I was diagnosed it wasn’t even part of the autism spectrum yet
Aspergers was always part of the spectrum... it was how nazis determined if an autistic person was "smart enough" not to kill.
That's definitely a you problem
That was completely unnecessary how rude
And cause you burgers in yo ass foo
I have a friend diagnosed with that. He has been married for 10 years
Poop burger ? 🍔

Lots of people in the thread are cool with you being forever alone. We are doomed as a society
I have the same thing man I hear ya
They "understand" it just fine when it helps you land six figures lol
women can also have autism
Never said they cant
but then comes the double standard that it's ok for women to be autistic and still score a guy but not the same if it's the other way around. apparently it's ok for women to be mentally challenged and be taken advantage of, am I right, MEN?? 😒
There are women who face the same struggles as you and insisting there isn’t anyone who could love and understand you is why you lack connection
It's not that they don't understand it, it's that they don't want to deal with it.
and they say women are the most patient of the two sexes. how ironic.
So what? That doesn't mean women have to put up with whatever because they have more patience. Wanting a balanced mutually supportive relationship is not a character flaw
I was diagnosed with Asperger at 15 before the dsm-5 came out. Now its just high-function autism or lvl 1 autism. I still call it Asperger because that's what i knew it as before it changed
and you're not wrong. I've always called it Asperger's syndrome. I'm also on the spectrum. no matter how you call it, if it's in the DSM 5 BOOK, then it's a valid disability (unless you're a Keyboard doctor like some on here who thinks they can "correct" others and say "oh, no. nobody calls it that anymore. get your facts straight.". they're total arrogant bigoted idiots).
Aspergers is an outdated term and it now just comes under the autism spectrum. I'm autistic too, and while there's still a great many folk very ignorant of neurodiversity, I've seen a great increase in people knowing and have been lucky to have had a few great relationships, even though they can be a serious struggle between eternally feeling like the outsider and a lot of unhealthy coping strategies I built up to deal with things and stress. Don't go totally convincing yourself the blame is on women. There's a great may who appreciate an autistic person's sincerity, as well as plenty great other neurodivergent folk that can understand you so much more. My current partner is neurodivergent to some extent but not diagnosed, with some traits being far stronger than mine, and others (especially socially) being far less of an issue.
Stop whining
It's not hard to understand. It's very common. You just need therapy to get over your other issues
I hear you. I’m bipolar and while it doesnt affect my life too much since it’s controlled— nobody cares and once they hear the word “bipolar” they say it’s fine then POOF. They never talk to me again.
