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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I have worked for/advocated for people with disabilities all of my adult life. I wish that people could look past the "disability " and see the individual! I watched a film about a woman with autism during a training and she was non verbal and kind of just swayed around. To look at her most people would judge that she wasn't "high functioning". However, she used a talking computer to tell the world about the mind of a severely autistic person in the most beautifully put together, grammatically correct speech that even an English Professor would be proud of. It was amazing and enlightening. OP, there isn't anything wrong with you & there are plenty of women out there for you.

It's possible to be both intelligent and non-verbal, but you have to admit that's a somewhat uncommon combination. Usually when the case is severe, the IQ is affected negatively, and even a lot of mid- and high-functioning cases have seen greatly reduced IQ. Not to say that the girl in the FML was right, just pointing out that not all cases are created equal

A lot of that depends on the childhood development of the brain. Lots of deaf kids are intelligent and non-verbal because their parents didn't let the hearing disability become a learning disability. They simply compensated for it (ASL, etc) instead of ignoring it and the child. The same can be true for other brain disabilities. It's possible to catch (some of) them early so they don't become mental disabilities.

I'd disagree with the first comment. 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

No. I know and know of plenty of severely autistic people who are very intelligent. Try again.

Shake it off, dude...she'll end up pregnant with a Virginia slim hanging from her lip, hanging outside a trailer window with a baby in her arms in no time.

Wow. You should have responded with "neither can I" and left her ass there first. Don't feel down about yourself. I know autism, it's hard when people have no clue what's up with you, but you don't new any misinformed people like her in your life.

Need* sorry, that was a weird typo/autocorrect.

Agree with 89. Could be considered very high functioning therefore has a 'bit' of it or whatever. Someone who's actually ON the spectrum should know that.

Most people don't think like her! Does it seem unusual that she would expect sympathy from you about her ailments but will not be sympathetic towards you? People like that make me sick!

Ouch thats overly harsh...I have Asperger's Syndrome (kinda like high function autism) so i know how hard something like that hits you.

Not the same deal at all. Your BF can boink you... You might be slow, or whatever, but you can still put out,right?

Slightly autistic isn't exactly retarded. I'm slightly autistic and I just have some social issues, ie: Eye contact and social akwardness
