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

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.

  • I've been in love, well I think I was in live, with couple of people in the past but never a relationship. To be honest I don't know if I've been in love or not and I don't know if I'm what I say I am for being attractive to others. 

    I wish there was just an easy way to know these things and get relationships etc. It just seems confusing and to complicated. This has led me to believe I don't want a relationship and would rather just have people I can trust around me
