(I hope it's ok for me to post. I'm in the process of seeking a professional diagnosis.)
I have suspected I have autism for 5 years now, so I have tried getting to know neurodivergent men because we share a lot of the same symptoms and behaviors. I can't relate to NT men. But my experience has been that these neurodivergent men want NT women to balance them out. Possibly to fix them, share their social circle with them, or comfort them without the disrupting "baggage" of having neurodivergent symptoms of their own. And I can't give them that, I don't have a life either LOL. I was hoping we could have a weird little life just us two together. And once I reveal myself to be a bit "out there" myself, they seem to be like oh... Never mind. This has happened several times. I don't know what to do.
What has your experience been like? Or do you, as an neurodivergent woman, prefer an NT partner yourself? I don't. I really would like someone who understands. Not just going "yeah I accept you", but someone who knows exactly how it feels when you're overstimulated or suddenly need a whole week to yourself.
Sorry if this post is rude or if I stepped on anyone's toes.
