Why are people not willing to date an autistic/someone w/autism?

[Steven]

I'm someone with a borderline autism (known as PDD-NOS.) I used to refer to myself as a high functioning autistic. I now refer myself as someone whose moderately functioning because I could appear someone with a higher functioning and on another occasion appear to be a retard (YES, I use that word - because it's an accurate definition.) I'm also a "slow" person, I developed slower than other people. I feel like I am in my teenage years in my late twenties (never had the teenage rebellion until I was 21) although I am more smarter, close to a fortysomething. I am a guy, and living with autism with the focus that its all a boy disorder really makes me insecure of my gender.

Now my question. I never had a girlfriend. I never kissed a girl, a stranger on her lips ever. I barely touch women in the fear I get charged criminally. With or without the Facebook factor, I can tell what girl is taken and whose not. And I feel like there are a few single ladies out there. I grew up in a time where autism was never a discussion or real resources to get help to treat this disease as I like to call it. I blame part of not getting a girl due to the Millennial Generation, where many who are spoiled brats and are unfairly anti-social, non verbal and look down with their iPhones and talk non verbally on Facebook (like they are autistic themselves)- therefore they can't accept someone like them.

I'm also unemployed and haven't found a right work program because of my alleged lack of "social skills". Key word: alleged. I'm not interested in college with the same reason. I've also gone through a multi year transition of trying different hair dos, to the point where half my clothing are from name brands like American Eagle Outfitters, Aeropostale Abercrombie/Hollister just to "look" like the other guys. I've struggle to this day with facial hair, but I let it grow out a teensy bit just to impress the ladies. I threw money out of the window for services like Match and Zoosks and had to deal with those type of brats I mentioned above.

If the numbers are true if 1 and 50 children (or lets say boys) are being Dx'd with autism, then there will be more of us then you (assuming you are normal.) What will happen, will there be more hopeless romantics/autistics out there because people don't want to be in love with them? I always liked the ones who worked with them as their day job (assuming they would be compassionate with their caring love), I guess they don't like screwing with them off the clock I suppose.

My question is, despite some lies on Yahoo Answers, and other Internet pages, why aren't people not willing to date or fall in love with people like me? What is it that I/others are doing wrong, what can I/others do to get a lucky match?

my brother's autistic and probally the main reason is that sometimes people dont wanna put up with the crazyness and doesnt want to be a supporter

I just did a google search "dating sites for people with autism" and there seem to be quite a few. that is where you need to look. At least for your early "learning how" dates you need to be with someone who is like you, someone who understands. So I suggest you do some exploring on these sites.
And I can say that being unemployed is hurting you. Ladies want a man who can take care of them and not vice versa.
good luck

Well clearly you autism must be somewhat obvious to people, if they dont know its a disorder they probably assume you're weird. Thats why.
