Both my boyfriend and I are 21 and autistic. He moved October 13th to Texas with his mom for family issues. It's hard with long distance as it is and I think with him being more autistic than I am it's even harder. And I know a lot you people will say that any relationship is the same, and that being autistic doesn't change anything, no offense guys. But I haven't physically been able to see, hug, kiss him since then, I've tried suggesting more communication but I dont want to force him out of his comfort zone either. And dont get me wrong, I love him, I really do. We've both said we want to get married but the timing is not a good time right now when we both dont have actual jobs (I get paid under the table for babysitting my 1 year old baby brother for my mom), or an apartment or house. I just dont knkw what to do, everyone I've tried talking to says to break up with him cause we are too young for long distance relationship, and that my needs are not being met, because they dont understand our struggles. Ugh I just want to cry and sleep (more like hibernate) till some will finally understand everything. I'm sorry I just really really need to get that off my shoulders and to be heard as well cause I feel alone when no one can understand the hardships of being autistic
