Are you male/female and are you straight or gay? It honestly is a different experience for each group.
Women with autism have an easier time finding a partner but also are more susceptible to becoming a victim of abuse.
Straight men with autism generally have a hard time finding a partner but are less likely to be targets for abuse. There is something about the social issues that creates a unique challenge for autistic men in finding women. It seems that social skills are a more important component of a woman's attraction to a man than vice versa. It can be explained very well by evolutionary psychology but then I may have to say some things people find too controversial.
Gay men with autism actually tend to have an easier time finding a partner than straight men with autism.
