Ever Just Stop And Wonder If Your Child Will Ever Get Married Or Have A Relationship That Has True Love?
The other day I watched a movie called "Fly Away" directed by Janet Grillo and I ended up thinking about my daughter and wondering if she will ever trully know what love is or find love. I usually supress this feeling because there is no need to think about it right now but this movie really broiught it back for me. She is always so happy and I hope that one day she will be able to share that happiness with someone that cares and loves her in a different way then I do. Is it selfish of me to… read more
She won't find love. Through you, she'll know love and all its outward manifestations. And in her happiness she'll BE love, and all the people around her will feel it.

Not selfish at all. We all want love and happiness. My husband has aspergers too- so I do believe that there are people who will love and accept them as is.
I do not see why she cant. I am an adult aspie...my husband fits the HFA criteria "text book style" We have been married 16 years this September..We have 3 kids, we BOTH put OUR SELF through college,and are a loving & stable family. My brothers (both Aspergers age 29 & 16) both have relationships....all be it...frequent girlfriends...my son Benjamin, age 10 always has "girlfriends". Also...in my line of work...Ive seen many people...froar those with moderate Down Syndrome to people oall over the spectrum married and having very productive lives. Because all autistic people are driven by LOGIC and all want the same things ws our NT peers...we tend to have less incidence of divorce and othed marital issues...because of the ability to be content and logical. Want everything for your daughter...she has a stellar chance!
Thank you all for your responses. Had one of those days and your words made me feel better.
My son is 18 - almost 19. He shows no interest in having a personal relationship with anyone. I talked to him about how truly wonderful it can be to find the right girl and you fall in love with each other. I told him that I really hoped that he will experience that someday. Maybe that will stick with him?
