How cute of you 3 ladies implying that aspie men are emotionless, hobby addict, and neglecting jerks.... and just lifeless potatoes.
Pardon me?
Nope -- I wasn't implying that at all. I was referring to my three boyfriends who were 1) closet gay NT, incapable of lifting his arse of the chair to do anything, and completely passive in the relationship in every conceivable way 2) closet gay sadistic NT with addictions, who lived with his mother and didn't work (for no reason -- nothing to do with disability), who took more time, effort, patience and money than he could give to his own baby toe 3) closet gay passive man who never touched me, emotionally or physically. Also NT.
That comment had nothing to do with autistic men. I've been on WP supporting men and saying I love autistic men, that I act like an autistic man more than an autistic woman, and that I would love to date an autistic man ... for the past three years.
That was really off the mark.
I saw mp's comment and identified. It had nothing to do with the OP's comment so I'm sorry if it was taken the wrong way.
My new guy is NT and so far not passive or needy, but I haven't been able to see him since March because of lockdown.
I'm a little frustrated when it comes to relationships, I guess.
Note: I mention the fact they were / are gay, only because I was trying to get closer emotionally / romantically / physically or in terms of moving the relationships forward, but there was always a wall between us that I couldn't understand or trespass. At the time I had no idea of their orientation and I had nothing to compare because they were the only people I'd dated. I invested a lot in these relationships (not to mention 20 years of my life), not understanding why the relationships weren't progressing normally. It was frustrating. I wanted a partner who was equally into the relationship, but couldn't find such a person. I'm still best friends with one of them but the dating dynamic was always beyond our reach.
What were the chances you would connect with 3 gay guys not interested in finding a gay partner?
That is "Guinness Book of Records" stuff.
