[Answered on Quora.com by Chip]
Yes, but it’s very difficult for me to navigate. I am in a constant state of emotional suppression. If I don’t stop myself when I feel emotions, I will become fully engulfed in that emotion very rapidly. So where a typical person might flirt or go on a couple of dates before they decide to become more emotionally invested in a person, I am all in from the start, because I don’t try and stop the emotion of love. It feels so wonderful, who would stop that? But, and this is a very big but: typical people express the emotion of love when courting. I guess they are just trying it on before they decide. I can’t tell if it’s genuinely how they feel. So, as you can imagine, there have been many relationships I have been in where I was really the only one falling in love.
I am happily married now to the most wonderful woman. She loved me from our 1st date, and I her. Had a lot of heartbreak before her, because of my autism, but I can’t imagine a better ending to an early life of heartbreak than a relationship that has been about love since the 1st date.
I’m a very lucky man
