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.

  • For me, i think it was because i was weird, they seemed to like that, that i was different than the usual man. My very strange and weird sense of humour i think helped too. I met a few online from using mental health forums which meant we instantly had some kind of common ground. The others were through friends. My fiancee i am with now we met first in 2006/2007 on a mental health forum, she also shared a strange sense of humour. I’ve asked her why she is with me numerous times and the first thing she says is because i’m weird lol So never be afraid to be yourself. I think if you try and be somebody other than yourself, the mask will eventually drop and you’ll no longer be that person they thought you were.
