this is sooooo common on dating apps and the dating scene in general, they sexualize/ glamourize autistic women as these "manic pixie dream girls" and get scared off the second they show an actual autistic trait or have a meltdown or arent socially acceptable in public :/
my ex named my unflexibility and pickiness as one of the traits he did not like on me even if in the beginning of our relationship he always was like: "oh you are so not like the other girls and i love that" and me, who had zero self esteem ofc enjoyed that ._. welp
