So, I'm still in love with my autistic ex boyfriend. I had been a 5 months long distance relationship with him but we haven't met in person yet. He promised me everything, he promised that he will meet me in person but unfortunately, he broke up with me because his parents are worried about him going here and also he's afraid of flying. So we broke up and he blocked me on his social media. To be honest I got upset a lot because I loved and expected too much. I was happy with him. Been happy for 5 months talking and video calling with him. He makes me happy and complete. I still love him and I want him back. But I don't know if he still love me. He seems doesn't care about me anymore. It's hard for me to date, although I am not autistic, I don't know why I'm attracted to autistic people. Maybe because they're romantic. How can I fall in love again? I want true love not just for hook ups.

    erm, said ex being autistic has nothing to do with your attraction to him. as a person with mild autism myself, lemme tell ya, "being romantic" is not one of our defining traits. there was really no reason at all to mention his autism, actually.

    anyway, you're just in love with the dude. it's normal. if you really want to fall in love again, give yourself time, you'll move on eventually.

    Hiddenite basically said it all. I understand you probably verified he was autistic because you were worried about your attraction to autistic people, but if you've met one autistic person, you've met...one autistic person.
    he may have been romantic but autistic people are as different across the board as allistic people (you and me).
    how old are you guys? is he of age? if he is, his parents may be unnecessarily controlling and that would be the major issue.
    but the pain of missing him will fade, and you will be no less capable of love as before you met him. accept your pain, accept the uncertainty of a future with him. its okay to be in pain, its okay to feel how you're feeling. accept it and breathe through it. it will fade.
