Nobody's perfect - we all have idiosyncracies so any relationship is a compromise.
And all depends on how serious your AS is.
Steven Spielberg has AS - doesn't stop him doing anything.
Well, my AS isn't all that serious, since I've already dealt with most of the problems I can deal with. The social problems for example. Most people wouldn't guess I have this, since I can talk to strangers with great ease. I also get a satisfying number of dates, so Asperger's is definitely not impairing me anymore on that level.
However, I do feel anxious about being honest about my past. For four years, I had to spend every day hearing how I was nothing. A braindead moron devoid of any emotion, who'd need constant support to accomplish even the slightest thing. Of course it's dumb of them to treat me like I'm stupid, since AS is on the high functioning part of the autism spectrum.
But... how do you tell this to someone? I mean, it's really private to me, and I don't want to tell about my emotional scarring too soon in a relationship. Even if I do talk about it in my sleep.
When should you tell your boyfriend/girlfriend you have asperger's?
