How do other people in here (men especially) come to terms with the idea that they may never be in a romantic relationship of any sort?

Hello, I am 38 autistic.

I have never been in a relationship before. Not even close if I am honest. I just seem too different from other people.

I have basically accepted I will always be single. I am curious how other autistic people handle this. To answer my own question, I used a lot of weed edibles. They really help kill the long and lonely nights.

And yes, I am aware that plenty of people with autism get into relationships. I just do not seem to be one of those people.
