I have Asperger's syndrome which is a type of autism and I deffinately can have deep emotional connections; I'm just not very good at understanding what others might be thinking or might think if I do something. Therefor I may not be able to tell when it is appropriate to do something that would show my emotional attraction, and I would not be able tell when I did something that made it seem like I didn't care. But that doesn't mean that I can't have deep emotional attractions.
In short it's not a problem of lacking deep emotional connections, just a problem of showing them.
I agree with you. I have known and worked with people who have Asperger's and I'm pretty sure I'd be willing to date a sufferer. I know it's on the autism spectrum but I was thinking of autism itself (difficult to tell which the OP meant).
I have also worked with someone who had moderate to severe autism. We became friends of a fashion. It took a lot of concentration to relate with him and to not upset him. I almost had to speak another language. I know we had a connection (a fairly non-conventional one) but I also know that if it had have been a romantic relationship, I would have found it very difficult to have this limited connection.
Would you date someone with autism?
