How many ASD people would start a workplace relationship given the opportunity or would never do that? What about if the other person has also been in encounters with your coworkers would that put you off? I would never do this and never haven even when I could have at times. I am just wondering how the general ASD population feel about it.
Weigh the risk vs the reward. Maybe if the person is worth it....it'd be awful not to be with that person if they ended up being someone really special. What does your gut say?
No I'm not asking due to a situation I'm in. I have a longtime gf (whos also autistic) who I don't work with. I just wondered what other ASD think about this issue. I always felt it was a terrible issue more so if you are autistic. There are too many problems associated with it that would be uncomfortable at best for an autistic person. NT people don't seem to mind this. They don't really have meaningful relationships per se, just sexual ones, lots of sleeping around with lots of different coworkers. Its insane to me because of my autistic view point.
