Autism & Dating

I’ve never had a relationship, I’m 29 and recently diagnosed AuDHD (which may go some way to explaining it), I’ve tried dating apps which just seem the most pointless thing on earth, also not sure if I should or shouldn’t disclose my diagnosis.

Does anyone have any positive relationship experiences, if so, how did it come about? I’m quite sensitive so I highly doubt I’d approach someone for fear of rejection so my only options feels like it is dating apps, however I get no interest, I would like to meet someone but atm I just feel like giving up.

  • I don't have any positive relationship experience to share I'm afraid but I wanted to say I get you. I recently found out I have AuDHD and am sensitive too, especially interpersonally and this makes the prospect of dating seem near to impossible sometimes. I've not been brave enough to try dating apps and I've heard mixed things about them. I hope you find connection with somebody soon.
