[Lena_C]

Username: David Larson

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Sexuality: Straight

Location: Detroit Lakes, MN (live) Fargo, ND (work)

Religion: Non-denominational Christian

Politics: Progressive

Philosophy: Pragmatism above all with influences from Utilitarianism, Hedonism, and Aristippianism

Obsessions/Interests: Psychology and to a lesser extent pharmacology. I also just love to learn; thank God for Google. I do some writing on occasion, and I journal my thoughts, feelings, and ideas for later reflection. Yes, that means I have a diary, I hide it under my bed to keep it secret from everyone Other than that I read, exercise, and generally try to keep busy, failing which I watch TV and play video games.

Desired Partner Characteristics: Someone I can trust, someone real, someone who's been through some hard times and knows/has what it takes to rise above. Intelligence is a plus, but keep in mind there are a lot of different ways to be smart. I suppose what I'm looking for is someone who wants to take on the world with me; power through the challenges, revel in the triumphs, and take things a day at a time with one eye on tomorrow.

Self-Description: Physically, I'm 6'2" and 220 lbs. But enough about my corporeal form, here's some substance: I work a lot; I work for a non-profit that employs the best of the best of those on the autism spectrum for specialized work. I'm told I have a good sense of humor, if not a little dry. As far as coping with our disorder goes, I'm very flexible. I can handle quite a lot; even extended conversation I can take or leave. I'm very assertive and direct; I have very little patience for beating around the bush, even though I'm very patient in general. Other words that have been used to describe me include loyal, helpful, caring, dutiful, responsible, generous, trustworthy, and charismatic. So yeah, there's my attempt to summarize all that is me in a paragraph, and but for the grace of God go I.

Wow, although I'm not in USA, but I think we can be friends here.

I don't think Aspies would go well together. Here's why:
*Although they may claim to understand each other, this may cause them to never step out of their comfort zone, socially. Isolating each other from the world.
*The relationship may not have anything new or exciting, because aspies don't like change. A neurotypical could slowly introduce an aspie to a new world.
*Since Aspies lack social skills, both people in the relationship would have trouble expressing whats in their mind.
The best combinations of people sometimes stem from those who are the complete opposite because they explore a new world and learn from each other. I can understand how frustrating it may be to find someone but its best to hold on, perhaps someone will eventually come along. Don't look for someone that's like you, but rather someone that can bring out the best in you.

This site is helpful in many respects but it does rely on a conceit (the grouping of AS people) that doesn't accurately represent the reality. The reality is one in which people have varying AS traits and they also have unique personalities. Even in an AS-AS relationship, you are dealing with different personalities - not to mention the other conditions people often live with like bipolar, anxiety, PTSD, etc.

I am a non-AS person (though not neurotypical) and the two main partners I have had jn life have been AS - but the ways in which that manifested was very different for each. Different delights/comforts and different issues. Example, one is very sensual and sexual and loves touch; the other can live without it. One is all about his routine; the other doesn't seem to have one...

So, there are no guarantees either way in the search. I think what can be gained from looking for someone here is the chance to come across someone AS or NT who is aware of AS and maybe willing to work with it (however that manifests for the person) in a relationship.

 

[elspeth]

You disagree that both (men, women, straight or not) have their advantages and disadvantages? Really?
Yeah, sure women are more likely to be romantically pursued. But is that really the number one goal in life?
Does it outweigh the disadvantage for women of being more likely to be sexually harassed, stalked, or even raped?

(P.S. I am not saying that women or men are better than each other. I'm also not saying that people only do these things to women.)

I think that the various ways someone can get to know someone online has flattened a lot of that. The expectation might still be in het. relationships that the man will make the first move, but it seems like it would be easier when you can approach someone without the need to go through a lot of the social motions that might be difficult for some on the spectrum.

 

[elspeth]

I think it would be helpful here if as part of the template people put not just Desired Partner Characteristics but something about their own romantic/sexual preferences and approach.

Speaking as a non-AS, it can be problematic if what you are looking for is someone who is empathetic and affectionate but you yourself are not expressive through touch or in words. It gets hard for your partner then, and they can feel neglected or unloved if there is a disconnect.

Better to let anyone reading your post know that you are more reserved in your expression and let them choose whether that's something they also like or if they present differently that they think that they can handle.

Sexual and affectional disconnects are a big deal.
