There's a few things you need to know if you want to be the one whom I love all my life, and they're all major things. I'm not talking gifts, attention, affection, or even actual sex.
These ten requests are not negotiable, and I'll never "outgrow them" or "have a revolution." These are simply the results of the genetics I was born with.
1. I am an individual living with Asperger's Syndrome. As such......
2. I am inclined to always be brutally honest; best get some thick skin.
3. Fidelity is one of the most crucial aspects of a relationship for me. When I say "all my life," I mean it.
4. I need a routine in my day and I can become very upset if it gets disrupted.
5. Food can sometimes be an issue with me. There's a decent sized list of things I won't eat.
6. You will often be met with blank stares.
Don't worry if I'm not making eye contact with you; it just means I'm focusing all my attention on your voice.
7. I have quite a few obsessions and can sometimes go off on random tangents about them; it'd be great if you'd listen.
8. There are times when things will be too much for me to handle and I may have an occasional meltdown.
This is NOT due to not getting my way: this is a matter of my brain attacking my body in a way that can be displayed as physical and verbal. A little comfort helps in these situations.
