He said he gave up at 16, so in the last almost 24 years he hasn't really tried to attempt to date women in fear of rejection.

I would say most of us at 16 didn't have a clue what they were doing, and scared of girls rejecting us. 

He also seems to be disconnected from reality. Talking about women want Gansta dudes lol.  In Australia, the only Gangsta dudes are wanna be teenagers and maybe some wogs lol. These types og guys hardly attract the intellectual/normal girls anyway, so not sure why he seeing them as what is missing in his life.

Well yeah it looks like he has studied the social behaviour a lot like studying fish in a tank but given his nature it is normal for him to be disconnected from the social structure from the biggest part of humanity,being social like "normal people" do as an autist can be achieved but it takes the need to act and it mostly does not come spontanious for a lot of them also it creates big stresslevels up to panicattacks that just might serve as a fast gateway to depression.

I am not speaking for everyone ,it has alot of differences within its own spectrum and as forumdwellers it is mostly too complex to give someone decent info on how to act and be in those conditions.

Well I know people who can barely string a sentence or write one who have managed to get a partner in life. The difference between him and them is they tried, failed and adjusted.

You are right we can't tell him how to act but all we can say is you need to stop looking down on the world thinking it is against you and go out there and try experiences and learn from those experiences and adjust. For most people autistic or not, social interaction does not come easy. Hell most of us are gamers for a reason, we like seclusion, quiet it offers around us. I didn't learn social interaction (e.g. taking people feelings into account as things that are common sense should be easy to understand) until I started working. I was forced to step out of my comfort zone. Still akward at it, but not as bad as in my first job.

@Darklord

Just to add in as well, you say not all men are equal the same applies for women as well. Women aren't a hivemind that all share the same wants in a partner so just because 10 have failed does not mean the next 10 will.

Also the biggest issue which I don't think any of us can help with is your "sloth". In a lot of your posts, you mention "giving up" and "not bothering", for example you mentioned you didn't bother turning up for work.

Maybe we won't understand since autism has different levels, so maybe you are right and it could be too late to change/can't change. But if you do have regrets you won't be the oldest person by a longshot to start now.

So if you can get over your inner sloth then go for it, but if not then there is nothing wrong with solitude. The deadly sins don't make for good relationships

Being lazy and having bad attitude. Dropping out of school to play video games instead of focusing and working hard. Quitting job after job and constant switching college courses due to laziness and I could not be bothered. There is another thing, I have avoided taking responsibility and constantly made excuses in my life. At 16 I was wise enough to understand I stood no chance in dating and did not waste time improving myself. I chose to take the easiest and safest path in life and avoid conflict, rejection and failure. I have the same bad attitude and immature outlook on life and I have not grown in 20+ years as a person. Not taking responsibility because I am Autistic and my various mental health issues.

I am currently working on my fitness at the moment: back into cycling and distance running. I will be running my 10th and possibly final marathon in September. I feel over weight and unfit at my current weight of 165 pounds, need to get down to below 160 pounds. I will be sticking to a strict diet plan of plenty of water, fruits, vegetables and minimising junk food will aid my health and fitness goals in 2019. I recently purchased a PS4 and a half dozen games that I will play in 2019.

That  paragraph has honestly made my day :)

I can't believe I didn't notice this before.  165 pounds is fuck all for a male. It is 75kgs and well below Australia's average. How can you feel overweight and like the ugliest mfker going around?  

"In 2011-12, the average Australian man (18 years and over) was 175.6 cm tall and weighed 85.9 kg" - (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/lookup/4338.0main+features212011-13)

I'll be honest you sound just like a typical person on centerlink and not someone suffering autism that makes life impossible for you. The way you write vs the autistic people I know in life, you are far more normal and articulate than them. People who doctors have classified with mild autism, but yet they cannot string a sentence together and they always ask to explain to them again what you mean. I just think it was easier for Doctor's to label you with something like every 10th kid these days apparently has ADHD. You know what cured ADHD pre mid 90s? A belt across your ass for misbehaving.

Hell I'm no Doctor, but on a scale of Autism, you are at the start of it, so you shouldn't look down on it like its a burden, as compared to others you are far more lucky.  The challenges you described that you face, would cover most of the male population, are we then all somewhere on the Autism scale? Perhaps, I don't know. As I said before what is normal? There is no such thing we are all different. It is easier to label yourself with something then face the wall in front of you and jump over it. I bet if a doctor followed me around for a week he would conclude I am on the scale based on my behaviour or conclude I am satans son like a priest once told me lol.

You talk about luck and being born into it like the only chance to get girls. Well that is true, but it is what you do with it that matters. There are people born into money who have lost it all. People who were born poor who have made something of themselves. Essentially lucky is what you make it.

There's the difference in intelligence that varies for autists so that mildly explains the way some articulate, a lot of them actually have an abnormal high IQ even when they cannot put a string of words together because that is just the social stress causing it most of the times.

Its not easy to understand people with a different working brain when we do not even understand ourselves properly.

If you would like to i would be happy to chat you up on everything i learned and experienced as an autist myself so gonna befriend you :p

Never had a chance to begin with and never even bothered because of my disability and mental health issues. People do not want to date anyone with disability because of the social stigma. Due to my disability I can not drive and undateable. Most advice here is useless and invalid because you are employable and can function as a normal human being.  I made it and everyone else can do it too advice does not apply to disabled people. Normal people without learning difficulties, normal social skills have a far better chance in regards to both employment and dating that rely upon interacting with others. I do not understand myself properly and I do not understand others because of my lack of empathy and low social/emotional intelligence. I am exactly like a Mr Bean, Forrest Gump, Sheldon Cooper or Rainman or some weird Autistic, socially awkward character.

Ok I'll add you. Not sure how you can have convos between two people though on this site. So you start it ill join in.
