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. |
But that is what I and others have been saying. You have basically used your disability as an excuse not to try. In your mind you have said why bother. Instead of what can I do to try.
I don't drive, I know Autistic people who do.I know autistic people that have jobs.If you struggle to communicate with people, why not be self employed? Learn to program, you seem to have a decent head on your shoulders (minus the self doubt in yourself). Do freelance work. Plenty of people/small businesses looking for web developers in Australia.
Also, empathy is something that most people with a high IQ need to learn, as common sense/logic, facts and numbers drive your decisions. The reason you need to learn empathy is because you need to be able to communicate with those that are overly emotional. Best way is to be quiet and smile and nod your head. Half the time I roll my eyes at what people find to be big issues. But I keep quiet and in my mind I go ok cool, i'll sit their, pretend to listen, nod my head and 5mins later they feel happy and I feel calm because I do not need to listen to it for more than 5 mins.
The characters you mentioned all found love lol.
