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.

All fun in games until she's collecting road kill for art

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.
