Hi I'm 17 and I have severe autism and Asperger syndromem. This disbility basically makes it hard for me to connect to people. I can't really communicate with people well or form relationships with other people. I haven't had many friends in my life and I've never dated on even kissed a guy. So I'm 17 and I feel like I'm ready for a boyfriend , I think I'm mature and I like a guy. But I liked a guy before he used to tell me "that I looked like a dream" he useed to always flirt with me and call me pretty often . He also used to always make sure that I was ok and make me feel happy when I was sad. But he left me because I wasent giving him the right reaction but part of autism is that I don't always react to things propery . So if I did get a bf I'm a fraid I would get myself hurt again. So what I'm trying toask is can I havve a boyfriend with autsim ?

No matter what your issue is anyone can find someone for them if they try hard enough. You have to find someone will understand and won't get upset with the small things you do. Find someone that loves you for you not just because your "pretty". Find someone that loves you for who you are autism And all. It may be hard but it is possible.
of course you have every rite to a boyfriend and friends dont allow past heart brakes to keep you from what you have the rite to dont let it take away or stop you from being happy every one has within them something beautiful and unique and one of a kind do not hide that
also you can meet people who has the same disability as you have ( support groups )
you would have a easier time finding a boyfriend there :)
God bless you
Depends. If you are his type and he is interested. This advice goes for anyone. Make sure to pick guys that are interested in the same things as you, and are nice people you feel a connection to. Don't let this connection build up into your head for too long, then fantasies come and almost take over your life. Be sure to act outgoing, and initiate fun conversations, every so often tell a nice white lie so u don't hurt his feelings. If u build up this connection you will be devestated by rejection. And you should pick good people, and don't let rejection hurt you. People love you for you, because autism is not all of you. You should tell him about your autism before hand, otherwise it could hurt him. That's all, good luck
