I've been very lonley for a long time. Dating when you're on the autism spectrum and having lots of anxiety makes things really hard. People don't understand. Dating sites suck. I just feel like I'll always be alone and that there's no hope for me.

It is OK to be alone. Yes, those sites are useless.

Hey, I get it is really difficult. I wouldn't know what to do in your shoes. I've had some low level arguments with guys I have met on dating sites who then say I don't understand them cause they are on the spectrum, and guys that say I don't understand them because I have a different opinion to them, and for some reason they take that very badly. It takes time to understand anyone, really...it isn't just automatic. I think it is important to know what you want in a relationship, and what is acceptable to you, and what is unacceptable.
A relationship is what goes on between two people (or more), and at first that is nothing, then you either grow together or grow apart. There isn't a magic person that is just going to magically come into your life, and...happily ever after haha unfortunately! I agree with @ragingvortex and also that it IS OK to be alone, and that those sites are only good for introductions, and a lot of work. You could meet someone great anywhere though. I would say, make friends...aim for friendship, and it might turn romantic, and if not those friends might introduce you to the right person...hope you find that special someone one day

As long as you are alive there is always hope. Just invest in it. Having autism didnt stop Robbie Williams. He is married with children. Just say no to your doubts and persist until you breakthrough. This life can be a drag or it can be something special. Its not easy to fight for things but if you do that you will secure your future.
