Today, during my first date with a girl I've liked for awhile, she tells me about some minor disabilities she was born with. Wanting to be honest with her too, I tell her I'm slightly autistic. Her response was, "I'm sorry this isn't going to work. I can't date a retard." I had to eat alone after that. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a girl I'd been crushing on for a little while and I were talking about autism. Some of the last words she said were "I try to not find autistic people so fucking annoying, but I can't help it. But can you blame me?” I'm autistic. FML
Today, I was going on a blind date with a girl. She walked up to the table, said "Nah, no thanks" and left. FML
Today, I was trying to make a good impression with my fiancé's friends. After a few hours, I thought all was going well. As I walked to the washroom, I heard, "So what disability does she have? No one can be like that without something wrong in their brain." FML
Today, I was chatting with the girl of my dreams, a real heart-to-heart. Everything was going great, and I asked her if she'd like to get coffee together sometime. She immediately backed away and excused herself, mumbling something about not dating left-handed people. Huh? FML
Today, I was on my first date with my crush. When I saw her, I greeted her with, "Hey, sweetheart." She's convinced I said, "Hey, retard." FML
Today, I went on a blind date. The girl seemed perfect for me, until I found out she says "lol" and "rofl" out loud whenever she laughs. She also believes sex screws with people's "spiritual energy", and that's why she'll never have it. FML
Today, I was talking to a guy I met on a dating site, and he asked if we could meet up and what we should do. When I suggested ice-skating he told me he was in a wheelchair, so I said we could go for a walk instead. I realised my mistake the moment I sent the message. FML
Today, I went on a date with a beautiful woman I had recently met. Great food, great conversation, and a great connection. That is, until she revealed that she is a lesbian. FML
Today, after dating this girl for 3 months, I finally introduced her to my friends. She looked panicked during the date, and after it she broke up with me. When I asked why, she told me she could try to deal with a black friend, but not with a gay one. I've been dating a moron all this time. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to meet my family. When I told him I had an autistic brother before he came in, he immediately broke up with me because he claimed autism is another word for overprotective. I've been dating an idiot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Families are much more aware of autism and will go to doctors after thinking of seeing symptoms. Also we now ask screening questions for autism which wasn't done even as late as the 90s. Doctors are also much more aware of autism, lots of autistics would be diagnosed as "mental retardation" in the 80s

I have high functioning autism, yet I am a medical doctor who went to an ivy league college. But... Considering that the way of judging IQ is a test based on both social and communication skills it is impossible to fairly judge someone's IQ if they have deficits in these areas. This is proven with non-whites scoring lower as it's a test based on Caucasian language and culture. Considering diagnose of autism must have 2 symptoms in both communication and social categories, its easy to see that there is no way to accurately judge an autistics iq

She was probably lying about hers to get pity. Apparently she can't handle the truth.

She sounds like someone you wouldn't want to date anyway. Seriously! Be glad that you found out what she's really like before you got into a relationship with her.

Some people are just ignorant. My son is a high functioning autistic and he is one of the brightest children I know, and I'm not just saying that because I'm his mother. He is brilliant, at the age of 5 he could take a computer apart and put it back together. At 7 he built a battery operated cellphone charger because my phone would always die on road trips because my car charger stopped working. If you knew him, retarded is the last word you would ever think of using to describe him. His father on the other hand...not a single disability at all whatsoever and he is dull as a doorknob. People with autism are brilliant individuals that just have a different perspective, once you understand that perspective you see them for what they are, which would be marvelous individuals that have insights that can change the world, and they are only held back from a lack of "normal" social skills and awful stereotypes.

#186 is right. You could say this about loads of conditions. There are more diagnoses today because today we know about autism. In the past, autistic people would just have been labelled "eccentric", "crazy", "slow", etc. Of course it's possible that some doctors do over-diagnose and label some people as mildly autistic (as in, on the mild end of the autistic spectrum) when they are actually not, but if they're seeing a specialist in the first place they're clearly having some sort of difficulties, and if that diagnosis helps them, I can't see that should matter to anyone else.
