ASDers with partners, how did you meet?

Post Reply New Topic

In a thread called "I hate stereotypes," there was some talk about the stereotyped places where people are supposed to meet partners and the reluctance of many ASDers to go there. Then somebody suggested a thread could be started asking where ASDers met their partners, to reassure people here that they don't really have to go to the stereotyped places. As I thought that was a good idea and I was in a good mood, I started the thread. It was a tad against my usual ways to do so because I'm reluctant to initiate anything, and the few threads I've previously started here have had very few replies, but I like pushing the envelope so I thought I'd give it a whirl, and just look at all these lovely responses You're correct that technically it would be neater if I'd put it in the Love & Dating subforum, but people do sometimes love-related questions in the General forum and they seem to get away with it. I think it's also possible that a lot of ASDers with partners don't often visit the L&D subforum (I don't myself), and maybe putting it here got the reply count up. I won't be upset if the mods move it now. The topic has had a good enough airing to prove its original point and to allow me to surpass my hitherto weak performance as a starter of popular threads, though I can't take credit for the original idea.

Thanks for all the replies, folks. It's good to see that we can be successful in such an important walk of life by doing things our way and not by just copying the mainstream stereotype for once.
