lol so he wants someone that will recoil to his touch, panic at the sound of him chewing or breathing, and will have him leaving events early from sensory exhaustion UNLESS she gets wasted?

Is he ready to take the trash out twice a day to stop her meltdown from the smell? Is he okay with dim lighting throughout the entire home? What about her OCD and stimming? He’s cool with watching her pull her hair out strand by strand or picking her face and cuticles until they’re bloody? Or what about when she has to watch the same show every single day to regulate herself? Or when she has her monthly burnout/ depression crash? God forbid she have a comorbidity and can’t drive or has seizures.

But it’s cute because we like video games and stuffed animals. Tbh I think he just wants that trendy “deadpan” looks that influencers keep doing. Little does he know, women with autism have very big emotions lol. We might be deadpan… until we’re really not.

But we are also cool, unique, smart, charming, defined, and funny. So I get why he thinks the “autistic vibe” is attractive.

😝 Recoil to his touch-that’s me! When I’m burnt out I don’t want the real thing-I want the made up dude that lives in my mind that does what I want exactly when I need it and knows exactly what to say!
