Love complicates life even for the autistic

Post Reply New Topic

I'm autistic, I'm in love with an autistic, who loves me in return.
There are other couples out there like us.
Should we make the news??

I'm autistic in love with an autistic too.

I know what love is. Love is a many splendored thing.

Like when you both haven't showered in a few days, nor brushed your teeth in about 24 hours, and you're both very annoyed with each other, because your obsessions are causing a conflict, and throughout it all you still think the other is a great person.


Love is...?

If anyone can come up with other descriptions I'd like to hear it..

Wait. It just suddenly dawned on me, I can't believe it took me this long to figure out.

NTs are claiming that they are capable of having love. Don't get me wrong, it's burried in the subtext there a bit. But I'll try and explain it.

You see, the line "Who would have thought autistics could fall in love." demonstrates more then just casual ignorance. It is suggesting that their is a distinction between NTs and the autistic, the distinction being that we do not love. But this is a specific case which might be a distinction to the distinction.

It would seem that flawed NT logic is demonstrating something about how they think about themselves.

This is a facinating idea, NT love I would have thought that they lacked the intellectual capacity for something this complicated, and confusing.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that they could get the same value out of it mind you. That's just silly. It takes a a strong mind to to really wrap yourself around in it, and sort through something as vast and bewildering as love.


Very interesting.

Can you say that again in English?
