Quintal,
I don't know if you read my 2nd post or not, but I did describe some of my situation as an aspie.You know being on the autistic spectrum doesn't disqualify you from finding a suitable partner.
I can recommend some books which discuss the matter. Experts used to say that aspies never marry but that is nonsense and proven to be quite wrong.
It can make communication difficult at times, but aspies have a tendency to find partners--when they do find one--who mesh well with their idiosyncracies and to some extent make up for their own "deficiences".
I have been married twice--the first was rather disastrous, he didn't get me at all except that he liked my looks, but second time around I am in a happy, comfortable place. I admit I am tremendously lucky in this regard, but I also have worked hard to learn how to get on.
As a female, I score on aspie testing in such a way as to be unlike 80% of other females in the way that I interact and perceive the world (apparently), but my partner is fine with this. We aren't stereotypes.
Some people say we're eccentric, but very nice. He does a lot of the cooking and we are both pretty messy, though we try to stay clean. Our living space is artistic and colorful.
Hope this makes some sense. I'm just saying--it takes all kinds in the world and there may well be someone who matches you quite nicely, eccentricities and all. best, ramsea
