I am NOT saying we are lesser!

What I’m saying is, now that I know I’m on the spectrum, this is all starting to make sense. I had crying and near hysteria filled episodes to my mother when I was continuously unloved by my romantic interested over the years. I dedicated so much time to the dating craft and was begging some high power to tell me what I was doing wrong.

I can now see why I was so unbearably unattractive to all the girls I fell in love with. All the painful awkwardness and all the hyper fixations. No matter how hard I tried I stayed either invisible or just friends with every girl I crushed on.

The story has a happy ending. I’m now 28 and married to my wife who is also on the spectrum. But I think I now have my answer as to why I was unlovable for all those years.
