Thanks guys :) I'm pretty excited, a bit anxious too cos my last relationship was a nightmare but there's no sign so far of this one being as perilous so it's just bad associations I'll have to learn to un-learn. So far it's been wonderful. She even had amazing taste in games haha.

I'm autistic so my grasp of social protocol is about as good as my grasp of Elvish haha, I have no idea what the normal way to become someone's partner is. I know how it feels to be separated though; me and this girl actually talked for over 2 months after meeting on a dating app before we could meet for the first time in person as our city was in an extended lockdown. Hope you can see your girlfriend soon man.

I hope you two are happy and wish you the best of luck! 

My girlfriend has autism as well. It isn't that noticeable most of the time, but there are certain situations she has trouble with and I have to be patient at times. It has been tough being apart for so long and been a strain on our relationship. We were hoping to see each other again soon, but covid numbers are climbing here and in the UK. 

Good on you for bearing with your partner's autism; speaking from experience it can be very hard for us to find understanding partners so I'm sure she appreciate you being one of the good ones. :)
