If you can take these things i have mention and read up on them, why people do that and how to change that then i think you will find another women in right timing and one that will trust and love you as much as you do her. And these are things you might want to mention to your therapist. blessings and tc

Thanks for your response and advice. To clarify about my not being okay with being alone, the therapist who I had that discussion with told me that most men on the spectrum are incapable of having relationships, and that I need to accept that being alone is my only option. So we're not talking about taking a break from dating, or learning to love myself, or similar post-breakup self-care. No, she meant I could probably never be in a relationship due to my being on the spectrum. When I pointed out that I know men on the spectrum who have been married happily for years, she said, "I don't know how."
I stood up and said, "Humans are social animals, and you've just told me I am less than human. Thank you for you time, but I won't be scheduling another session".
