Autism isn't something you "grow out of." Certain concepts may become
easier to understand. Overall the older you get the more understanding
your peers will be. Adults are much more understanding than teens and
such. But Auttism will always be a part of her life ..on some level.

Hi Sweet!

Oh I could hug you! My daughter is 11 and she has Asperger's. So, YES I
know what Autism is. As beautiful and SMART as my daughter is, I forsee
her having the same issues you are dealing with as a woman. I think the
fight is to find someone real these days. Someone whose prorities are
beyond the usual 18 y/o male. Maybe someone who has had issues himself,
not necessarily social issues, but something that at least would bring
him "down to earth." My daughter prefers other children who are
Autistic. She says the only difference she sees in them is that they
would never be mean. Social acceptance can be a huge thing at any age.
And finding someone right for you can be hard for anyone and at any age.
At 30 I have had more than my share of hardships in life and am having a
hard time finding someone who is on the same level. Life is tough, hun
..Love is even tougher. I wish you the best and hope for your
happiness.

Best of luck!
