Hi, I'm a 19 year old autistic male, I've gotten to the point where I feel like i'm ready to try looking for a relationship but understand that having autism may put me in a bit of a difficult place, does anyone have any advice?

Well yes, that's the rub. I suppose if there was an autistic club you could go to, I have heard of such things but never been to one. As others have said though, hobbies are a good one as the other person then has a similar interest. The nerdier the hobby the more likely they are to be autistic! But then also perhaps the less likely there are to be females there... As a female that was easier for me! But I still managed to make wrong assumptions that anyone with the same hobby would be like me and like most people with that hobby. Like many historical re-enactors are nerdy obsessives with untidy homes (like me) but not the one I ended up marrying!
