How do people with Autism end up in relationships with other people?

HighToryPsychic

I read a lot and I know people who have massive psychological issues, yet they have sexual relationships or a husband or partner. I don't get it. They are often deeply unhappy and damaged, they feel worthless, have autism/ADHD, but they have found someone who likes them enough to be in a relationship with them. 

Basically its confusing for me because I have never been in a relationship, I have autism, have spent 10 years totally rebuilding my psychic/mental health, yet I haven't come close to being in a relationship with anyone. 

Thanks.

  • It's a good question but the answer is not easy. Everyone is different. From my experience I can say- only once I met a partner "naturally" at work. He himself was ND, ADHD,  probably also autistic. We clicked, I felt somehow that he is somewhat like me. I broke up because if his issues with alcohol and he didn't want to change hus habit. Otherwise I always said, I would be a virgin if there was no Internet. However it's dangerous and u myself fell victim of such a trap. So I wouldn't advice internet dating sites as the vest place to find a partner. Maybe there are some groups in your area. Now im happily married and I think it's just a luck that we met.
