firstly i want to say that finding that special someone or even making friends can prove troublesome for nt people. with this in mind it makes us fairly 'normal' as far as the social stakes are concerned we are just as clumsy as our nt counterparts.
when in the past i have (due to what ever situation i was in) found it necessary to socialise with new groups, i tried to ignore my difference and focus on the similarities i might share with the mainly nt folk.
i am one of those middle aged men but haven't always been, i have played the dating game, gone to pubs, clubs and special interest groups. i may not much cop at the social thing but i get by.
i have been married three times, so i must have been doing something right, i know two of them failed, that was down to my behaviour and immaturity and no diagnosis at the time. myself and my current wife are together for 20 years, she is aware of my difference and i guess she must be a patient person, i must be getting better or i am just very lucky.
i didn't go looking for love it just happened. i think what i'm trying to say is that you should just give it time and friends even realationships will likely find you.
