I'm a diagnosed autist and every autistic woman I have met IRL has fallen in love with me, starting when I was 16. Even in the last year an autistic 19 year old fell in love with me.

>>83272493
they can be cute in a weird way if they're not a low functioning booger eater. most are too obsessed with vidya and memes to notice a girl even if she sat on their lap. i'd date one if he wasn't a total sperg about everything lol

>>83272493
Everyone here should know the answer to that question already. If you're handsome it's quirky and endearing and if you're not it's cringe and weird.

>>83272545
>i'd date one if he wasn't a total sperg about everything lol
But why would you take the risk? Autistic men are pretty much known to be antisocial. You should probably stick to neurotypical men.

>>83272608
>Autistic men are pretty much known to be antisocial
ACKCHYUALLY we're unsociable or asocial, not antisocial. Antisocial describes harmful activity like being a criminal.

>>83272659
Thanks for clarifying. Women should avoid autistic men because they are asocial and not antisocial. Huge difference.

>>83272545
>too obsessed with vidya and memes to notice a girl
In my experience I'm mostly just too anxious to ask a girl out.
>t. High functioning autist

>>83272670
Social people are evil. If being social was good, it wouldn't be associated with SOCIALISM.

>>83272493
i don't hate autistic moids, i think they're fun & nice to talk to because i'm a sperg myself & i don't have to mask in front of them the way i would an allistic chad. i'm also asocial so it's nice to have a friend who i can hang out with a handful of times a year & there are no hard feelings about it kek

>>83272693
>i don't hate autistic moids
I can buy that.
>i think they're fun & nice to talk to because i'm a sperg myself & i don't have to mask in front of them the way i would an allistic chad.
What's fun about socially maladaptive men? And masking takes no effort. Personally I find autistic girls annoying as fuck so I'm not buying this for a second. There's not an iota of fun talking with a sperg unless they know how to mask themselves.

>>83272718
>Masking takes no effort
Then you are doing it wrong. Masking is a very high effort activity because it's effectively maintaining a character at all times and double-processing all your actions. A part of my masking is forcing myself to gesticulate and talk with proper emotion instead of just telling people things flatly, which uses a lot of mental energy.

>>83272718
agree to disagree then. i've had many autistic friends in my lifetime because we were the only people who could tolerate each other & have had very fun conversations together :p

>>83272730
very much this

People who make up diseases are always unpleasant regardless of gender, hypocondriac women are known as irritable and shit to be around with, same with autistic men since autism is not a thing.

>>83272730
>Then you are doing it wrong. Masking is a very high effort activity because it's effectively maintaining a character at all times and double-processing all your actions.
Is that what life is like for you? Sounds exhausting. Just don't be a weirdo around people. Talk like a normal person.
>>83272744
>agree to disagree then. i've had many autistic friends in my lifetime because we were the only people who could tolerate each other & have had very fun conversations together :p
About what? I personally find no sense of "home" with other autistic people.

>>83272493
cute if they are not into manosphere content

>>83272765
>Just don't be a weirdo around people. Talk like a normal person.
If that was possible, then they wouldn't be autistic.

>>83272493
this fat autistic faggot (joseph) got broken up with and already has a date in a few days so dont give up when this whiny cunt faggot who shouldve died at birth can do it

several gfs, sex with multiple women, turns down girls and still whines. has a loving friend group and rich as fuck family, never has to worry about anything in life, and still cries

>>83272751
Autistic people are fine for the most part. Im autistic so i dont hate people with it. The girls can be a bit annoying and self serving. The guys are usually mute and devoid of emotion but the shittest people that I have met have always been people who treat mental illness like it's a collectors item. Think people with bpd+something else. Just all around terrible people. My ex had it. Complete psycho.
>>83272786
Women don't find spergs cute lol.
>>83272787
Just learn how to copy other people. It's easy.

>>83272765
>Just don't be a weirdo around people. Talk like a normal person.
That is exactly what I do. It has led to severe mental health crises from burnout. It's just a part of life. Thankfully, I am good at what I do and handsome enough to be considered quirky instead of creepy.

>>83272493
I find them to be either endearing or beyond annoying and want nothing to do with them. My bf is more than likely autistic and I find him incredibly endearing and sweet

>>83272809
>Free speech for everyone (except for that lucky prick who just happened to be born into a well off family)
I hate this way of thinking. Why does the things that you have listed invalidate my opinions? Yes I've had sex, yes I've had a couple of girlfriends and yes my family has generational wealth. That proves nothing.

>>83272820
>Women don't find spergs cute lol.
In general no, but I do. lol.

>>83272493
>Women of r9k what's your opinion on Autistic men? Don't lie lol
My best friend was autistic and kept taking out his shit on me until I had to stop being friends with him for my own sanity. I was incredibly loyal. My other friend was low key autistic and went mental believing himself to be the master race, imploding his life and I had to stop talking with him too for my own sanity.

>>83272831
>burnout from socializing
Can't you just shut off your emotions?
>>83272853
It's not 50/50 now is it though? Most are annoying and that's not what I personally think, that's what most people think.
>>83272882
What's so cute about them? If anything at all.
>>83272886
>My best friend was autistic and kept taking out his shit on me until I had to stop being friends with him for my own sanity.
Why was he your best friend to begin with?
>My other friend was low key autistic and went mental believing himself to be the master race, imploding his life and I had to stop talking with him too for my own sanity.
Black and white thinking is pretty common in Autism. He probably wanted a simplistic explanation towards everything and believing that there are are tiers of races or that everyone operates the same way. That way of thinking simplifies everything.

>>83272974
>Why was he your best friend to begin with?
He used to be a genuinely funny and loyal person. But just grew bitter.
>Black and white thinking is pretty common in Autism. He probably wanted a simplistic explanation towards everything and believing that there are are tiers of races or that everyone operates the same way. That way of thinking simplifies everything.
The problem for me was more that it was how it related to HIM specifically. He thought he was the greatest at everything, thought he knew everything about everything, every conversation became a debate, every game became an extreme competition. He grew up rich and was just insulated to a lot of things.

>>83272974
>Shut off your emotions
Part of effectively masking is pretending to have different emotions to the ones you are currently feeling. Intercepting and dismantling negative emotional reactions also takes mental energy. Keep in mind I also exercise a lot and work an extremely social job, so the demands on my body and mind are likely much higher than the demands on yours.

>>83272765
How about you get off this board you retarded normie. Holy fuck what dumb questions and statements you posed in this thread.

>>83272991
>He used to be a genuinely funny and loyal person. But just grew bitter.
Sad when that happens.
>The problem for me was more that it was how it related to HIM specifically. He thought he was the greatest at everything, thought he knew everything about everything.
Sounds insufferable
>every conversation became a debate, every game became an extreme competition.
How long did you put up with it?
>He grew up rich and was just insulated to a lot of things.
Yeah.
>>83272997
>Part of effectively masking is pretending to have different emotions to the ones you are currently feeling.
I know what masking is. I was moreso talking about just not feeling emotions all together once you reach a certain point. If you have no emotions to begin with all you have to do is pretend that you have them and that to me is very easy.
>Intercepting and dismantling negative emotional reactions also takes mental energy.
I can't relate.

>>83273058
>Sad when that happens.
It really is, and years later he is still ranting to mutual friends about the same shit.
>How long did you put up with it?
We live in a world of extremes, some people drop you and ghost you after nothing; other people put up with shit for too long, I was more the latter. It was quite a long time, many years. I can't just blame them for being bad friends, I take responsibility for my dumbness and blind loyalty. Part of it was motivated by genuine care for them.

>>83273058
>If you have no emotions in the first place
This isn't autism, this is just some form evil or brain damage. Sorry. Being autistic isn't being emotionless, bud.

>I can't relate
You would relate if you had any extenuating or stressful factors in your life. If the Anons in this thread are to be believed, you are obese and wealthy, which means that you are basically coasting through life and doing whatever catches your fancy, which is a very low stress and low demand lifestyle and environment. I come from a wealthy family, but actively chose an occupation that is high stress and highly social because I enjoy it and I am good at it. I also choose to wake up before sunrise so I can run long distances before going to my job.

When I lazed around on my parents' money fucking girls from Tinder, I didn't find it hard to mask at all, but having actual responsibilities to divide your energy makes it far more noticeable.

>>83273103
>I can't just blame them for being bad friends, I take responsibility for my dumbness and blind loyalty. Part of it was motivated by genuine care for them.
At least you are a good friend.
>>83273118
>This isn't autism, this is just some form evil or brain damage. Sorry. Being autistic isn't being emotionless, bud.
I meant more that you can numb your emotions on will and thus do things that you normally wouldn't do like push your responsibilities onto someone else. Be it work or studying.
>You would relate if you had any extenuating or stressful factors in your life. If the Anons in this thread are to be believed, you are obese and wealthy, which means that you are basically coasting through life and doing whatever catches your fancy.
I go to Uni so I have plenty off stressors in my life, but you sound like you have a pretty hard job so you are probably right.
>I come from a wealthy family, but actively chose an occupation that is high stress and highly social because I enjoy it and I am good at it.
You obviously enjoy your job but it seems like a pain in the ass to always have to mask but you do you. What other options did you have? Did your family have other wishes?
>When I lazed around on my parents' money fucking girls from Tinder, I didn't find it hard to mask at all, but having actual responsibilities to divide your energy makes it far more noticeable.
For sure. There is some kind of security in knowing that you'll never be poor.

>>83272493
It's entirely superficial.
Women let chad rape their children if he's attractive enough.

>>83272974
Honestly in my experience with those that Ive met its been pretty 50/50 not that youd believe me. All of the guys I have crushed on over the years have had some form of autism

>>83273221
My parents just wanted me to have some kind of job. For me, the years between 21 and 24 years old were spent living in a house my parents paid for. I'd wake up when I wanted, check Tinder, exercise while chatting with girls and organising meeting up, play video games, drink and do drugs, then go out to meet girls and fuck them, or not fuck them and go home to start it all again. My family was just happy for me to actually do "something" with my life.

>>83272493
I don't feel any certain way about them. But coincidentally most of my male friends I've had throughout all my life was autistic

>>83272545
>most are too obsessed with vidya and memes to notice a girl even if she sat on their lap
Yeah, this was absolutely me until like 25.
>that moment when 8 years later you realize how hard the girl in your friend group was flirting with you.
>that moment when you realize the most popular girl in school and the only one in your grade who'd gotten her tits yet all but asked you out and you didn't realize because you were a literalbrain retard.
Fuck my life could have been so different if I realized back then how these fucking neurotypicals communicate.
Then again maybe not because maybe they were only into me because I didn't seem interested so I seemed all aloof and unattainable and that made them want me.

>>83272693
>Friendzone
I mean I get it, most autistic guys are that super doomat people pleaser and avoid conflict mentality and you can't really respect someone like that.

>>83272718
>Personally I find autistic girls annoying as fuck so I'm not buying this for a second.
My dude they are the only women worth talking to.
Autistic girls can actually have a conversation about shit, they have actual interests and passions, they are the only women that make me feel like I'm talking to someone as smart or smarter than I am, as opposed to allistic women making me feel like I'm trying to have a conversation with a child. Autistic girls are the only ones unafraid to have an actual personality of their own rather than trying to conform to what every other woman is like. Hell could you possibly find annoying about them?

>>83272820
>the shittest people that I have met have always been people who treat mental illness like it's a collectors item.
In my experience, people like this are just tired of having to repeat themselves and being ignored anyway. It takes barely any effort to remember that certain things annoy/upset them and just as little effort to demonstrate that you actually listened. And as soon as you do they start to chill out.

I'm an autistic woman. I was aggressively judged growing up, and forced to learn how to mask. It took a lot of pain and effort - but I eventually figured it out

I see autistic men raised on "just be yourself, you are ok just the way you are sweetie!" who grow up to be incompetent socially nasty losers and utterly refuse to make any effort, often also being total edgelords. I have no desire to be with any of that vermin. If a man makes the same effort to mask and be normal as I do, then I'd accept him. But so many autistic men are gross nonconformists and I want nothing to do with open intentional freaks

>>83272991
>every conversation became a debate
Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make it a debate, though allistics often can't tell the difference. I never understand why you people interpret having a different opinion and sharing it in such an adversarial way. You all project so much. You assume that because someone enjoys talking about a topic, that they consider themselves an authority on it, then you feel threatened by the imaginary authority you project on them.

>>83273118
>>83273058
>If you have no emotions to begin with
>This isn't autism, this is just some form evil or brain damage. Sorry. Being autistic isn't being emotionless, bud.
Yeah, quite the opposite. Autism tends to be characterized by being what allistic people would percieve as overemotional. Men often tend to have what's called 'flat affect' which is a lack of expression of emotion.
Maybe this dude just has alexithymia and hasn't recognized that not being aware of your emotions isn't the same as not having them.

>>83274447
>I was aggressively judged growing up, and forced to learn how to mask. It took a lot of pain and effort - but I eventually figured it out
So let me guess, you utterly hate everyone who masks less than you because you suffered and they should have to suffer too?

>I have no desire to be with any of that vermin.
Oh, beat me too it. Honestly, it's like clockwork with your type. Everyone who got beat into masking compulsively just despises anyone who masks even a fraction less well than they can. It's like if a kid grew up getting molested started spouting that all the other girl's fathers should have fingered them, too, because it's unfair she's the only one it happened to.
Like, I empathtize with what you've been through, it sucks people treated you that way and forced you to conform to a communication style that doesn't feel natural to you. But that doesn't mean everyone else should be forced to endure the same torture.

>>83274488
>So let me guess, you utterly hate everyone who masks less than you because you suffered and they should have to suffer too?
The masking makes me suffer but also makes me a better person. It has improved me. This isn't just "I've struggled so others should struggle", it's "I've improved so I deserve someone on my level rather than someone who doesn't improve"

No pain, no gain, and all that. It's about the gains.

I know that anon, but this person DID turn everything into a debate for the sake of a debate to prove themselves right. You speak of projection but you're projecting onto a situation that you didn't experience. This person DID consider themselves an authority on everything because they told me as such. I am going by what they told me.

Because today social media has wrecked everyone's brains so they are mostly being adversarial.

>>83274671
Serious question? Have you ever tried not doing it?
Alternatively, have you ever thought of starting a career teaching others to do it? Like, as much as I dislike the kneejerk hate people like you have for others less skilled at it then them, I'd absolutely be willing to pay to have someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about to teach me skills. I've looked and there's nothing, just that idealistic 'but you shouldn't have to mask, you're perfect the way you are' idealistic bullshit, or stuff aimed at neurotypicals that assumes you 'just get it' and just says shit like 'make eye contact' instead of going into necessary detail like 'make this amount of eye contact at these times, look away this often for this reason, and look for these cues, which mean this'.
I'd kill for someone running an actual course aimed at teaching autists real masking skills without the politics and idealism and assumptions that they have an intuitive understanding of it.

>>83274704
>You speak of projection but you're projecting onto a situation that you didn't experience
Fair enough. I've just seen the same shit repeated so many times it's become a tired pattern, one aimed at others as often as it is myself. If it really was that way, I'll take your word for it.

>>83274731
Nah. Normally I'd be the first to agree with something anti-social-mediashit, but they were this way since I was a kid in the 90's, long before that crap was part of the public consciousness. If you ask someone a question they assume you're 'questioning their authority' or some shit instead of just interested/in need of clarification/trying to make conversation. I really wish I could blame it on social media, but allistic cunts were always like this.

>>83275617
>I really wish I could blame it on social media
Social media has accelerated it. But it began as new forms of parenting were disseminated between generations.

>>83275732
>Social media has accelerated it
Now that one I can agree with, the tribalism of american politics certainly hasn't helped the situation.
>But it began as new forms of parenting were disseminated between generations.
Oh yeah? You've got me curious, would you care to elaborate?

Autistic men are all time bombs, big avoid

I feel bad for the parents. I mean people who actually have autism, not the larpers here.
I work with autistic people and the burden on their parents is so evident. It's like they want to love their kid as much as a normal one, but you know there's always that nagging feeling that something went wrong. Another thing I've noticed is that when parents get an autistic kid, that is always the end. They don't have any more kids. If it's their first kid, there won't be a second. If their second kid is autistic, there won't be a third. There's this one mother who had a kid late (40s or something) through insemination, and her kid is autistic. She always looks and sounds to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown and talks to me like she's the one that needs support. I'm not a therapist so it's not my place to give advice, though.
You get a kid that will never actually grow up and build a life for themselves. They will forever be fully dependent on you--financially, emotionally, socially. They will likely never meet a partner and build their own relationships or families. They will never get a meaningful higher education. They will never be capable of holding an intellectally meaningful conversation with their parents. They will likely never understand their parents' love and sacrifices for them. The parents are just stuck with a half-person until they die.

>>83272493
The tldr of this thread is that if they are hot and autisitc then they like them, if they are ugly and autistic, they hate them. You don't need a thread to tell you something so obvious.

I did this. A girl sat in my lap and put her arm around me and I didn't realize what she was trying to do until two days later. The thought was just so ridiculous that it didn't cross my mind.

Gross and weird. So overly self aware, and yet completely socially retarded. Always scrunching up their face, trying to imitate human emotion, not realising how badly they're failing at it.
