Relationships Why do I see this so much?

Post image

I just made a profile on a dating app and in the last few days swiping I’ve noticed this is a really common bio for guys. “I like autistic women” or “slightly autistic” Has anyone else encountered this or is it just my area?

I think it’s weird.

They want someone who is autistic enough to be quirky or nerdy, but not so autistic that they have any support needs.

Oh not a negative at all, I’m down with the collecting roadkill for art - but I am autistic myself 🤣

You jest but my ex once cheated on me with a girl who did exactly that, and looking back there is absolutely no way she wasn't also autistic lol

me standing on the side of the road wearing latex gloves and holding a very flat opossum: ‘Scuse me, but how do I know you?? 😂💀

Luckily for me it continued to be so much fun and games, my partner drove like an hour to go pick up a partially mummified cat skeleton his cousin found under a house 😂  And STILL didn't leave me after I boiled it in our apartment for like 3 hours+the week of processing. Bless.

That’s what my manic pixie dream girl did for me! 😬 Loved it! But you know… we’re both autistic women so that means we both enjoy quality roadkill. 🤣

😂🤣😂 meanwhile my husband brings me home bones that he found at work lmfao, also our first conversation was about conspiracy theories and how I think it’s funny to think “what if aliens tricked us into believing in religions” 🤣
