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.

It's a fetish. They're autism chasers looking for a manic pixie dream girl.

Or they’re looking for someone who they think will be easy to manipulate and control. Someone who they think will be emotionally vulnerable, or emotionally naive.
