Awwwwwww, together since age 18. It makes sense for NTs..... finding one another in 30s or 40s if at all is the norm in Aspie Land.
Perhaps it is too terribly rare for Aspie and NT to have a relationship.
I am a Masters in sociology as well as a Web designer.
I used to think "nonverbal communication --> NT prejudice against Aspies nerds or geeks" but now I think maybe there is an underlying psychic communication at the neurological level, purely of my experience and those of people I know.
It seems striking that I do not seem to attract the romantic attention of NT female acquaintances, friends, or other associates even when matched on certain variables such as intelligence, formal education, formal education (Protestant Christianity), occupational status, and income
When I do attract a woman's romantic attention, the only variable that makes sense is her neurodiversity.
Bipolar disorder (2)
Asperger (1)
Psychiatric/anger management/not further described (1)
Other variables that seem to correlate seem to be living with parents or in a group home, having no job or receiving disability benefits, having no license car or both, and the fact that I dated these women after I had a car of my own. I dated one without having a job of my own (we were late 20s), but dated two, and may date the other, while being in my career (we were mid to late 30s, the pace may be picking up with age as the women get older).
