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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Hon, as someone who has an autistic brother and knows several autistic children, all at varying stages of development, the fact that you are high functioning enough to get(and then lose) a date is fantastic. It's just a normal part of life. We all go out with terrible people who leave us for terrible reasons. Sure, she left you for a reason that's a bit more prejudiced than most, but it's still a normal hazard of the dating world. If she isn't willing to give you a chance, then it's her loss. My brother has a little girlfriend his age(they're too young for it to be actual dating) and she knows that he's autistic, and she loves to be around him regardless. You will find the right girl. And in some cases, it might help for you to give a brief description of your case of autism. Many people hear the word autism and assume the worst(mental retardation, social problems, etc.). Explain to her what "slightly autistic" means. If "slightly autistic" means you fit a few categories on the autism spectrum, let her know. If a girl is informed, she may not make such a rash, bigoted decision.

There's autism and ASD, you have it or you don't. There' no such thing as 'slightly autistic' or 'a bit autistic'. But I know what you mean, as I have a mild version of Aspergers Syndrome. Most people only know the classic type of autism, and compared to that we're pretty normal. ;)

as much as i'm almost positive it hurts now, in the long run you saved yourself from a long time of hurting. I am not gonna name call or anything because im sure you still feel bad about it but you will find someone one day who will accept you for the type of person you are. you will find someone who will love you for your faults as you will theirs. don't let yourself dwell on the fact that she wasn't ready for a mature relationship.

Autism isn't retardation. You're ignorant and a piece of shit to be so cruel. People like you are why our society has become so horrible to live in. Grow up dumbass.

You "get girls all the time" huh? "I'm 23 years old, a virgin..." sound familiar?

My boyfriend is slightly autistic! It really doesn't show.... and I love him to death!

I find it funny how you SAY you get girls all the time, but you say your life "sucks ass", and you find the need to say you're a 23 year old virgin on your profile?
