>I don't have autism, but I do have Schizoid Personality Disorder. I feel like that's the most difficult to date on
It's a sort of pick your poison situation. All men with mental illness or psychiatric disorders struggle immensely in life. Moreso than women.
>An autist just has struggles picking up social cues, but they can still feel love.
It's more than that. Many autists suffer from chronic fatigue and trauma from being basically treated as retards since birth. You already know what it feels like but Imagine growing up in a society that excludes you while simultaneously demanding you be a part of it.
>I know many autists who successfully have gotten in relationships
That's only scratching the surface. Most autistic males that I've known live god awful lives without an ounce of love ot genuine friendships from anyone and I'm not overreacting. They are forced to live lives that no one else would live. Both conditions sucks ass. Schizophrenia even more so but autism is a curse.
>But for me as a Schizoid I genuinely don't think I could ever give a woman the emotional affection they want
I relate to that. I don't even think I could be in a long term relationship to begin with. It exhausts me.
