If you want to let your disorder define you, or use it as an excuse for your not being able to find a girlfriend, let me remind you that Stephen Hawking not only had a wife, HE HAD TWO! Do you really think your disability is more off putting than his?
Asperger's is worse than cancer, Down syndrome, and epilepsy.
Statistics show that Aspies have the lowest employment rate out of all disabilities. Aspies are 25-30x more likely than the general population to contemplate suicide.
Oh please enough with these posts! Your condition is not worse than cancer or epilepsy. Down Syndrome is in a different category: I've worked with people with this condition and they're mostly happy and affectionate, in fact delightful to be around even if hard work at times.
You seem quite intelligent: I"d suggest you read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl, a shrink and concentration camp survivor whose main message is that there's one freedom no-one can take away from us, the freedom to decide how to respond to any given situation - think about it.
Well you're funny. You got that going for you. Why not seek out girls with asperger's?
Dude, you are just a loser. You don't even need the Asperger's, that's just a convenient excuse for you. I gave you a perfectly good scenario from which to think and yet you wallow in self pity. Woe is certainly you.
Embrace who you are don't let it defined you!
remember we don't get to pick and chose how we are born but what we can do is find the positives in ourselves to make it less harder!
and always be yourself never cover it up or be something your not just be you always!
I have disability not the same as yours but I have one so I understand you and I no its hard but it will get better because each day is a new day full of new positive's you just have to be opened to see it all! (You have want to see it and not by another forcing you to to only yourself.)
good luck keep strong stay positive and never ever give up!!
PS: I am so proud of you!! :)
I'm an aspie and I didn't lose my virginity until just recently at 23. I'm really prone to social anxiety. It's normal, but don't let your disorder define you.
