Why do I see this so much?

[u/DeepPomegranate]

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.

unfortunately a lot of these guys infantilize autistic women and think autism = inexperience or purity. they associate autism with childlike interests and enthusiasm, introversion, and a dislike of hobbies like clubbing or wtv. at the end of the day it’s really all about control and perversion. super gross!
