And a lot of people forget that no two, or more, siblings grew up in the same family. For instance, I grew up in a family which had a younger brother but my brother grew up in a family which had an older brother.

In my opinion, we Aspies are worthy of being in relationships. We are human and no different from NTs. If you are looking for someone to be in a relationship with, make a valiant effort and try your best.

I had a girlfriend for 2 months when I was 15. I thought me getting a girlfriend was impossible for 10 years after that due to terrible self-esteem. Only at the start of 2016 was I willing to give it a shot. It's been rough, but I have a new girlfriend now. We are worth it.

I bought a book that I thought would be insightful to my wife and I (22 Things a Woman Must Know If She Loves a Man with Asperger's Syndrome). It is a small book, and I read chapters 1-6. Four of the six chapters have nothing to do with me. Two of six were applicable. If I recall one was about communication difficulty (I have Asperger's Syndrome). The other was about taking a partner for granted, and I am sure all relationships involve this aspect going both ways . . . this is universal.

So even with a a highly praised book, the information, thus far, is not very useful to me . . . but others found it to be a godsend.

I read the same author's book Aspergirl and it was awful. That lass has an axe to grind and a chip on her shoulder.

Books with very long titles usually suck ass.
