Is it normal to go after a guy with autism?

If you want to date someone with autism, go ahead. But speaking as someone who has the condition myself, I feel I must warn you that you will face a lot more challenges than if you were to date a non-autistic guy. For example, you can't upset his routine or touch his stuff unless you want to make him angry at you. Sometimes he will have meltdowns - which are basically like the adult version of temper tantrums - over (seemingly) minor things. He may not talk to you at all unless you're willing to listen to him go on and on about stuff he is obsessed with. He may not pay attention to you because he may be really absorbed in his interests. A lot of times autistic people may come across as self-centered because we can't see the world from anyone's perspective but our own. So he may say or do insensitive things without realizing that he has hurt you, or he may react insensitively to bad things that happen to you. Besides all of this, I'm not sure if dating a guy with low-functioning autism is ethically the right thing to do, because whenever there is a mental disability involved, the question of whether or not he can consent becomes a real issue.

I see no reason not to like someone just because they're disabled. You can't control who you have feelings for, right? It could work, but keep in mind that he's much lower functioning. You'll have to find some way to communicate with him. Good luck.

well you chose the hard way... i would not do it, kinda need communication in my relationship.

if that makes u happy,then it's all that matters.try it!and see how it goes.

do you mean severely autistic or just socially awkward? cuz autism can range..

Are they not a minor? I'm going to watch Pumpkin, because I want to believe it could work.

are you playing games with this person, cause i would think they are vulnerable, they might be worse off if you 2 break up. its not an even match

Watch Pumpkin. :) Such a sweet movie. It can definitely work!

Don't you want understanding in a relationship?

I don't see how an autistic can offer that so yes you're being naive.

I don't see why it couldn't be normal. If you feel something for someone, you'll take them as they are without question.

Don't worry. It could work if you let it. I'm sure once you're with each other you'll think of ways to communicate where you both will understand each other. Anything is possible. It could work out really well. Good luck!
