If we're discussing that first infatuation feeling, people can definitely be annoying with it. But it's important to remember that their behaviour stems from a societal or cultural set of expectations -- in other words, it's a big social show of who got with who, and it's not every culture that does that with such flair.
That said, I love love, from the first chemical rush of infatuation down to the last comfortable feelings of deep companionship. It's by far and away the most fulfilling experience I've had. I'm ADHD, though, and not ASD, so that may have some impact on how I feel about it, which seems on par with most of the NTs I know.
I had an ADHD boyfriend and we got along well. We was both just as hyper and immature as each other. It was lots of fun. He thought I definetly had ADHD and I said "no, i am not as stupid as you." - in this case (no offense)
I get the feeling that ASD and ADHD aren't all that different, certainly not symptoms-wise. People don't guess me as ADHD at all, but I have the classic symptoms of impulsive-hyperactive, hyperfocused, but not at all inattentive. I'm too fast for most people and generally scare them. In other words, I don't think I end up looking terribly stupid.
But my boyfriend does, and I'm here since I thought he may be ASD. I'm pretty sure I'm just discovering he's probably inattentive ADHD instead, which makes us almost complete opposites. It drives me insane and has really put us through hell, but that feeling of the deep bond I'm talking about is what's keeping us together. I'm not even sure what started it, but it's not ending easily, that's for sure. Our bond is just too strong now, I guess.
And that's why I love love.
