Answers:
I'm in a similar situation!. I have Multiple Sclerosis, neurocardiogenic syncope, chronic depression, panic/anxiety disorder, endometriosis and a few other problems!. It's been 12 years now!. I had a boyrfriend of 2 years when I first became sick and he (along with my friends and part of my family) turned tail and ran as the weeks and months dragged on and I became more ill!. Then I had a long distance thing for 9 years!. He even came to visit from time to time before finally moving here!. About 2 years ago, he emailed me instead of coming over to my apartment!.!.!.said he wanted a "healthy girlfriend"!. I realize now that these people!.!.!.even part of my family!.!.!.are a waste of my time and energy because of how they have treated me just because I have a few illnesses!. They really never cared at all!.

I have heard success stories galore of guys not minding that the woman they love has MS or some other disease and vice versa!. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those success stories!. Maybe I will be, but I try not to dwell on it!.

I am very much alone and I would so much like to have a relationship!.!.!.meet someone who can see beyond the illnesses, that can see "me"!. I know how you feel about that!. I guess I don't have the best answer for you!. I just try not to think about it and continue to concentrate on getting out and volunteering or just being around people!. I try to stay open and approachable!. I talk to my doctors about it too!. They can sometimes be very helpful as well!.

But, I figure, there is always a chance I will find someone!. So, I hold onto that thought and continue on!. I think you have a chance of a relationship!. I think all of us has a chance!. It may not seem like it now, but, just know that there are many more people out there that are feeling just like you and me!. See!.!.you just met one right now!. :) Hang in there, ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm assuming you are 'asperger' as you have named yourself as such which demonstrates you can interact and have sensitivity to others understanding - makes you brilliant relationship material!

I come from both sides!. I've been accused of being on the autistic spectrum all my life, but I've got on and I have a happy family life!. I do have problems, I can't 'feel' how to react but I've learnt what is socially acceptable and formed acceptable habits and patterns of behaviour!. I'm also exceptional bright (detail/facts-wise which helps and I run through every scenario for the best option)!.

The second side is that my husband is brain damaged and as such can only really perform functions in a regimented/fixed manner!. He thought no-one would be interested in him, but he is so incredibly honest, reliable and caring, he is a dream! Someone I can talk to and share my life with (19 years)!.

Be yourself!. Accept yourself!. If you love yourself, someone else might too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, how can you predict the future!? Last time I checked, you cannot predict the future!. Second, if you live in America, you have a chance!. Of course, if you live in America, you also have the chance to end up divorced! Close friendships can happen!. Heck, every serial killer in America had close friendships and many were married!. I'm not quite sure why you indicate it is over for you!. It just isn't over!. But you do have to open your heart and head, and put all this negativity to rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not sure what you mean by not having a chance at marriage or a close relationship!. You just create the chances for yourself and you have to work at it!. You learn as you go by taking risks!. If you want it bad enough, then you do it!. If it's not worth the risks, then you have to learn to be happy by yourself!. But that's ok too!. There's so much you can do as a single person because you have so much freedom!. Find a purpose for your life and as long as you are accomplishing that purpose you can be happy, with or without a spouse!. But don't forget that not having a serious relationship doesn't mean you shouldn't or can't have friends!. Friends are so important in life!. We all need friends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Many people have asperger's syndrome and lead perfectly normal lives!. Different people have different tolerances!. I am very much like a person with asperger's (or so I've been told) and I'm happily married with 3 kids and a grandchild!. We all make adjustments and I've learned to do certain things that make others feel more comfortable!.!.!.even if they don't come naturally to me!.
Funny, but I looked up "Asperger's Syndrome + Marriage" and got over 100,000 responses on line!. You can learn to deal with people!. It just takes time and effort!. Don't be so down on yourself!.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
