    WARNING LONG POST- I Need Some Perspective on This

    I started getting to know this guy that I work with a couple times a week, and I absolutely adore his mind and personality.

    I can move on with my life...

    On an earlier thread I mentioned that while hard for us with ASD, frequently we had to make our own luck, and that effort sometimes yielded a relationship and marriage. So, here is a question for those that took a different path from enjoying being alone: How did you meet your significant...
