[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The reality is that the people who remain single are not socially attuned, sometimes in ways that may not always be visible to people not dating them. I bet some of them could be found autistic (high-functioning kind). I'm a scientist and met my husband in the lab. A lot of men there were socially-challenged. He has ASD. My son has ASD. It takes a certain type of person to look past that. If my husband were to use OLD and go on dates, he wouldn't be able to find anyone. He's not social at all, but at the time I met him, he had good looks and fitness working for him, we shared scientific interests, and we met in person, which is very important to build a rapport with someone who isn't social. When you start off with certain social challenges, sometimes a lifetime is not enough to meet your significant other. The statistics work against you, and OLD is a killer. [/quote] Curious….you say it takes a certain type of person to look past ASD. Can you share more of your thoughts on that? What kind of mental setup do you need to have to be able to deal with an ASD spouse easily?[/quote] They stay to protect the child(ren). And someone makes enough income to pay for maids, housekeepers, Nannie’s, cooks, repairmen, car maintenance plans, etc because there are never ended mess ups, chaos, and disorder. Not because they mastered the difficulty of painlessly living with an ASD person.[/quote]
