We are culturally rather different, actually.

We share a similar value system, though.

She’s more practical. I’m more aethereal. This leads to conflict sometimes.

My wife and I are also different nationalities, although we come from very similar cultures. Not sure if that counts or not, probably yes.

I had serious relationships with American women of most races. White, black, Hispanic.

I suppose it's about being open to different cultures and mindsets. That's a good thing. You are devoid of prejudice Kraftie. Those of you with aspie partners maybe aspie/aspie relationships are easier. I am so happy to hear when people find great partners, it is quite miraculous these days, or am I wrong?

I’ve had crushes on Aspie-like girls and women. They were never reciprocated.

One of them had a voice just like Daria, and a very similar life-outlook to Daria. She was the older sister of my best friend who was 3 years younger than I was. She was my age. I was like about a 12 year old when I was 15.

I don’t actually really know if what we have is a romantic relationship or a very close friendship, but whatever it is, it’s with another person on the autism spectrum. Actually, I think after childhood, the only people I have formed a close bond with have all been somewhere (that isn’t right at the “100% NT” point) on the autism spectrum, or otherwise neurodivergent in some way.

(I know it isn’t really accurate to view autism as solely a spectrum, and I think what I picture is more like a color wheel than a straight line, I just don’t know a better way to say it)

To the aspies that have aspie partners:
Did you specifically look for someone on the spectrum?

My point:
There aren't that many of us around,
And quite a few are "invisible" in society.
