Is it normal i can't get a girlfriend because i am autistic?

I am an autistic boy and I can't get a girlfriend because they all think I am weird and creepy. I am socially awkward and strange to other people, especially when I get nervous which is what happens in most situations when I am around others. I just wish I could have a girlfriend who would respect and appreciate me and not think I was weird.

    The types of girls that are scared of you aren't the types that you'd want to be with anyway.

    It's not gonna be easy but when you find the right one it'll be worth it.

    You will meet someone - probably when u least expect to. Plenty of people with asd have friends. Your awkwardness in social situations does not mean you are weird - and people will see that eventually. If they don't - be patient with them as THEY have a lot to learn about interacting with other people too. Heaps of people don't have boyfriends or girlfriends yet - it's not just people with asd. :) like yourself more - it's attractive.

    Hello. Do you have any strong interests in particular? I suggest researching activities available in your area that might interest you. I personally enjoy birdwatching, and through googling discovered birding events near me to attend. As a person with GAD, I feel I can relate to your anxiety regarding social events. In my experience, the best way to stop this anxiety from stopping you achieving your goal is to go out there on your own and focus on what you're doing rather than who you're with. No need to worry about how you appear/what you say: you will all be there with a mutual interest so talking is not always necessary, or if so will come more easily. Hope this helps.

    Maybe you could meet an autistic girl?

    • Autism is more common in males than females, and I don't want to limit myself. But I understand that everyone has standards and any girl would have the right to want to be with a guy who can act normal.

    Dude, this is normal, I'm autistic to. My advice to you is enjoy your singlehood because one day there might be a girl who cares and loves you a lot. Or You can fall in the same situation I am in now which is multiple people liking you LOL

    I am a girl and i think as long as you stay yourself it should be okay. If a girl cant appriciate who you are she isnt the right one. Good luck! :)

    Its going to be a struggle on your part. Somehow you need to figure out what ppl without your issue are like and what they do then you need to learn to emulate it. This may be very difficult but if your going to have much dating success this is the best way I can think of doing it.

    Just imagine if you went to a different culture where things were done much differently but you wanted to fit in. You could learn to act like the locals if you put your heart and soul into it. This is really the same thing. You might ever be super natural at it but I'm sure you can make progress if its truly your hearts desire.
