UPDATE!! ! ! ! I have now been dating my girlfriend for the past month and guess what, she's on the Spectrum 2 and I love her so much and this has been the best relationship I've had with anybody in a very long time. I hope to spend the rest of my life with this special person.
If it's not too personal, could you write a paragraph or two about how you met and what you think got you over the initial hurdles? Other people here could take encouragement from it.
