Yeah me too. For me the hardest thing is being seen as normal by non autistic people because my autism doesnt show, I just appear as shy and borderline rude/stuck up but I don't really know how to like... communicate lol. Other autistic people often find me surprisingly "normal" and I find them annoying due to being so clueless about the world but that might be because I dont really have any special interest that takes all my attention and i'm rather into pop culture and what's new so I keep up with everything all the time so I feel i'm part of what's happening out there. The most recent autistic person I got to know I felt zero connection to even though I hung out with him for months, we had similar issues but it was really hard to get any form of personal chemistry going and he could be really self involved without realizing. My other biggest issue is sensory issues. No one gets why I go into a panic if things are too loud around me and those things suck.

I wish everyone understood how hard it is for me too to have my attractions. Anyone who discriminates against me I wish THEY and their children could be cursed with it automatically, so they will see how fucking awful it is. Of course I also have autism.

I also have autism. I think the worst part about it is the fact that dating is practically impossible. Women always sense that something is a bit " off " about you, despite how hard you try, and this leads to them rejecting you out of fear.

I dated a guy with autism recently. He was really nice and we're great friends but it's really hard to feel a connection. I tried for a while too because I wanted it to work but there was a disconnect there that isn't his fault. But that doesn't mean all people without autism won't connect with someone who has it.
I think there are also a ton of people with autism so it shouldn't be hard to find someone who gets you and you connect well. I have another friend with it and she didn't connect well with neurotypical people she dated but she met a guy about two years ago and turns out he's on the spectrum too and they're really happy.
I have so much respect for people with autism though, I have ocd and gad so I'm not exactly perfectly okay myself but I can empathize.

I tend to be drawn to 'neurospicy' people. Many of the people I've crushed on have been on the spectrum by diagnosis.

Got an extra chromosome. Only shaved 10 iq points off... probably. Infertility, slightly decreased life expectancy, the least bad of a bad genetic flaw.
Only reason being it was my sex chromosomes that got the extra X. Place an extra chromosome anywhere else and it starts having serious detrimental effects on your body.
So technically, I am closer to a woman genetically then 99% of transgender persons. Yet chromosomal disorders are brought up by trans supporters as a gotcha scenario dispite people with said disorders being less likely to have any dysmorphia. Funny world eh?
Explains my fundamental dislike for the trans cause.

I mean it's not the worst mental affliction to be stuck with. Makes you brutally honest which has its upsides. Pretty common too so people have a pretty good collective understanding of it, even if it's not always positive.
Hell my fiancee's family thinks I'm trans because of my klienfelters, that's them just being willfully retarded about it.

It's normal in the autistic community, you're going to get people making assumptions about how evil you are, that there's no standards in your norms, that you suck at everything you do, it's happened to me in my awful experience when 18 years old, still to this day, I'm Asperger's and I know very well what the problem goes about. Struggling to be neurotypical, I may as well not bother, people call me different, I'm not different, I haven't done anything distinctive to anyone else, I'm just a regular, day-to-day eater of fish and chips who eats porridge in the morning, drinks a mugful of coffee, and goes to Kentucky Fried every fortnight, yet a nagging thought people have that I'm for years psychotic, get out of here, I know what you're going through.
