What is my main obstacle?

Self presentation.

You're not unemployed you are a mature student. (UK definition anyway)

That's true about Texas.. Move to Montana! That's where I'm moving. You live in Wichita Falls, yes?

Anyway, I'd say perhaps you should just stop trying? Not as in giving up, but I mean.. Well I don't know what I mean. Read one of those self-help books on first impressions? That may help. I read one recently, called "First Impressions" (forgot who it's by), see if your library has it.

Or! You could try this dating website. There's one called OKCupid that's free (as far as I know), uncomplicated and actually entertaining.. The one time I made an account out of boredom, I was matched very well. I even made a few friends. So you may want to look into that.. or browse around the site at least.

Ok Tim, you just want aspie girls?

So let's do some math.

Let's say that world population is 6bil and let's say that the half are females: 6bil/2 = 3 bil

Most stats say that aspies are born 1 per 1000 and the female:male ration is 4:1 , so 1 female aspie is born per 4000.

3bil/2000= 1500000 female aspies in the whole world.

Based on what we are observing here on WP, the vast majority of female aspies here are taken, I will generous and say that 30% are single so 0.3*1500000=450000 single female aspies in the whole world.

You are 28 years old,of course you won't date a 40 yo girl or 13 yo girl ,no? so let's say that 20% of the single female aspies are in the age range of [18-30]

so 0.2*450000= 90000

And oh.....remember that some of them are taller than you and some are heavier than you and some who are homosexual and some who are out of your league , so let's say that 30% can be attracted to you.

90000*0.3 = 27000 ONLY aspie girls that might be attracted to you distributed in the whole world .

Now I am sure that many would claim that aspie girls are way over-diagnosed , ok let's say that the real number of aspie girls are 10 times (and that's a way exaggerated) than the formally diagnosed nb of aspie girls.

So you have about 270000 available aspie girls ONLY

See Tim what obstacle you are brining to yourself?


And here I am not even taking the geographic distance into consideration. That's why I hardly believe the hundreds of love stories and threads that pop-up in WP every while about an aspie met another aspie or an aspie that coincidently met another person who happened to be an aspie too, fascinating! I have no proof that they are lying but I can hardly believe most of them.



Good luck for your fishing in an ocean with few fish

I feel that the one who is perfect for me is an opposite-sex version of myself, or at least that's what people often lead me to believe.

calculation's post corrected, I should had to divide by 2000 instead of 4000 since the the 4000 includes males and females

but still the number is too too small for the world ,extremly bad strategy.

So Tim, you decided to defy the most known stats results and want to apply your own results?

1 in 150 has AS?? I thought that the case of the Autism Spectrum as a whole including the Classic Autism and PDD-NOS . Aren't 90% of autistics are Classic(severe) autistics?


And all autism surveys show that autistic males are much more than the females and that including the classic autism cases. The "Aspie girls are way underdiagnosed theory" is most probably wrong since all other autism disorders show big imbalance of gender ratio unless if Asperger is not an autism disorder (but studies show that they are related,no?) , many aspie girls might be not noticed as odd cases by the society but certainly classic females autistic can't be missed.

Anyways, ok Tim....let's redo the math according to YOUR false fictive stats

6bil/2 =3 bil estimated nb of females in the world
1:150 are aspies and let's say that 1:1 are M:F , so 3bil/150=20 millions of female aspies


Let's say that 50% of them are currently single that makes 10 million available female aspies.

Let's say that you don't care about age and you are too sexy to the extent that all of them will fall for you ....that would make ...hmm 10 million female aspies!! Much better number than before.

But how many of them would be in US? hmm. Let's say that aspies birth rate is the same for all countries , so 301,139,947/6bil =~5% , 0.05* 20 millions = 1000000 female 'aspies' (in fact it's 1mil female autistics which abt 90% of them are classic autistics)

If you can only just date within your state that would make things even worse for you.

Note that I skipped the last part of the calculation in my first post because it will make the result much smaller there 270000 (see the first post) *0.05 will make only 13500 available aspie girls only in US
