I would like your input from all of you if Autism may have a factor on having a relationship? The reason why I am asking this is because I do suffer from autism and because of it, I seem to be avoided. Now I am one of those guys who is not a bad guy at all. I don't smoke, I drink very little alcohol and do not do drugs, and I am usually pretty quiet. Now I think the fact that I am quiet maybe another issue as well. I'm shy and may also have low self-esteem and that could be another factor as to why I don't have a girlfriend. It's very hard to find that right girl because most of the girls are always wanting a lot from guys and I just don't have the money to be doing all this stuff with them. I am in a lot of debt. I don't want a girl who is always wanting a lot of stuff, I don't like smokers or heavy alcoholics or druggies. I just want someone who will understand me for who I am, and is nice in general. Why is it hard to find that type of girl? There are some girls I would date, but live far away. I may consider internet dating too.
i understand that, my cousin has the same problem [but shes a girl]. it seems like its difficult to find a good person. just keep imagining her and shell find you. best of luck! im sorry im not much help, but the only thing to do is put yourself out there. go places where a good girl would hang out.

The important thing is that your issues with shyness and low self esteem is a big factor, and you gaining strength over this issue will give you permission to take risks, be assertive and meet women on your own terms.
