After a divorce, I met my soulmate. We're both weird and silly together, and together we discovered that we're both people with autism.

We've stopped masking around each other, and we both support each other's growth in self understanding.

The passage quoted in the parent comment really resonated with us both. We both know we're incredibly lucky and privileged to have found each other.

Same, I have approached more than a 10000 women to find her. In the grand scheme of things, fearing rejection is silly. Every time rejection was painful, never fully got over it, but the journey was fun nonetheless and in the end so worth it

Around what age did you divorce, and what age did you meet this person?

Married at 25, divorced at 35, met my new wife about 6 months later.

Thats quick! Lucky you :)

heh, thank you!

We actually got married on the 10th anniversary of our first date :)

We had known of each other online for a couple of years, but hadn't interacted much. She was going through a nasty divorce, so I offered some support. We'd known that we were somewhat alike just by being on the same site, so we had a baseline of common views to start from.
