Aspies do get dates. The main difference seems to be that they don't really start dating when they're teenagers, like NTs do, maybe because they just can't deal with teenage drama at an age where they're barely figuring out socializing themselves. More commonly, an Aspie will start dating in the late twenties and early thirties. My mom, for example (an Aspie if ever there was one), was married for the first time in her early thirties to her first boyfriend.
It makes me sad that Aspies who are younger, or not as advanced socially, or whatever, hate themselves so much because they have been told so often that because they aren't dating they're not worth very much. They think that they'll never connect with anybody because they've never had a date at sixteen or they're virgins at twenty-five. Sometimes you have to wait until you're old enough to have had some practice, and the people around you are old enough to be sensible about your awkwardness.
It's not just not dating, society pushes on you the idea that losing your virginity isn't just a goal, it's the only goal, when you're in high school..
