Yes. Can definitely vouch for that. Last year I found one AS/AS relationship very challenging!
Words of advice - make sure the Aspie you are dating is on the same wavelength/level..if they aren't you'll need a lot of patience.
if you don't mind, did it work out for you both? and if not, what could the failure be reduced to?
She has the mind of a 12yo. This was not entirely clear on our first couple of dates as she put on an act to impress me. We were according to her "going out" after that point. Her family are very wealthy, and upstanding people..it was very very hard to break off the relationship considering we were part of the same autistic meetup group. But anyways I broke it off when it was clear she was not ready to act like a real couple (go outside of her own home anywhere without her parents, talk about anything whatsoever, do anything but sit in her room, not even as much as touch each other..)..Yeah.
So in short it didn't work out. What I advise from this is if you insist on dating an Aspie find one that is as equally or more socially/mentally developed as you are or at least have a lot of patience about you.
