If you believe you are a broken man, you are a broken man. Believing you can do with what you have the things that NT's do, that is what I think I can do. They will think I am a 'broken man'? Wolfheart, seriously you believe that load of rubbish? Being an aspie just means you will have a harder time with with these things, it doesn't mean there are not women out there who don't think of you as a normal person. I am in no way broken, and will not waste my time with women who consider asd and autistic people as such, unless they are willing to learn. I am not broken, my no means at all. Asperger's break me? No I will break it.
Not broken in that sense but people do expect you to act or be a certain way if you fit a certain look when you are on the spectrum. In other words, the girl will see you as different and might try to change that instead of accepting your individualistic traits and talents, that is a difficult compromise. My Asperger's syndrome make me who I am in creativity and I do what I love creatively, that defines me but it is still difficult not being able to make friends easily.
The thing is, I'm actually quite good at making friends, and I apologize for forgetting some people on this site have not gained that ability or have that experience. But for all those who haven't, once you learn these skills, it is like being freed of a weight you've carried for along time, and makes you feel much more included. Not only that, when I make these friends, they don't look at me as some outcast, they enjoy my company. When I let them know I was not afraid of doing fun things without worry about how awkward I would look, they usually looked past these things. Also letting go of things like teasing, allowed me to grow my sense of humor, and let them know that I wasn't going to be all shy and offended and start crying. I have experience with making friends, which has made me very couragous in social situations for an aspie. I tend to think because people are aspies they must know how this stuff feels and how freeing it is to be able to make friends, and I apologize. But I still urge everyone, not just aspies, to get off your arse and make something of the day. If not off your arse then make something like a craft, or carve wood. Just suggestions, but they all helped me.
