a Dream of Dark and Troubling Things

Not trying to be weird or anything but your post about autism impacting relationships showed up on my FYP. I wanted to say that I'm not autistic, but my boyfriend is, and while I can't say I've never been confused by or misunderstood his autism, I can say that he (and every other autistic guy I've known) has been worth the extra effort to sort things out with. It sucks when people can't or won't adjust, but there are definitely people who can and will, and who think it's worth it. It's a two-way street, you know? The misunderstandings and friction can run both ways. The non-autistic person may often imply the autistic person is "the problem," but that's an issue of perspective, not objectively the truth. I hope you don't let it get you down about yourself too much.
