My nephew 18 yo has asperger syndrome,
he used to be pretty weird but i think now more and more as he grows up he is getting better at curbing and understanding when he is being weird.
he is a guy with a good heart, he used to be weird, but now it shifted to "quirky" because he is talented in art. isnt arty farty people weird anyway?
when a person with asperger syndrome given the support from their family and friends, and directed to the right crowd they could be just as normal as you and me.
i have dated someone so quirky i thought he does have somekind of autistic spectrum. but we were 21 studying art.
with the right party and enough soft drugs who wouldnt be weird, creative, and suicidal at that age lol.
I would date an asperger syndrom sufferer, I say i would try.
To be honest, looks is also important.
My son have a mild autistic spectrum disorder, he does have a cute face, but I think if I didnt dress up properly (funky that sort) have cool hair cuts people wouldnt comment as much how gorgeous he is. usually a bit surprised when they find out at 3 yo my son doesnt speak a single word.
We live in a superficial world, so i dont care how much they say there are good hearts out there, you should still make an effort to look the trend. Something that suits you of course, people do look beyond disabilities when you look like a normal person.
look does matter, heart comes as a bonus!

AS is often not identified in early childhood, and many individuals do not receive diagnosis until after puberty or when they are adults. Assistance for core symptoms of AS consists of therapies that apply behavior management strategies and address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness.
Many individuals with AS can adopt strategies for coping and do lead fulfilling lives - being gainfully employed, getting married or having successful relationships, and having families. In most cases, they are aware of their differences and recognize when they need support to maintain an independent life.
I would - as from the information that I have read about this condition its not always debilitating, not much is known about this condition but once understood properly I'm sure it wouldnt be hard to live with, not when you love a person.
Asperger syndrome is differentiated from other PDDs and from high functioning autism (HFA) in that early development is normal and there is no language delay. It is possible for people with AS to have learning disabilities concurrently with Asperger syndrome. In these cases, differential diagnosis is essential to identify subsequent support requirements. Conversely, IQ tests may show normal or superior intelligence,[1][2] and standard language development compared with the delays typical of classic autism. I cant say that it would bother me to be a wife/husband of a person that has been able to accomplish so much out of a life so rare and often frightening, you make the most of what you've got. The accepting part is easy.

Regarding question #1: I am not a statistition nor do I have any raw data to tell you the answer.
Regarding question #2: I accept people as they are. I do not like all people, but I respect them. I love people for who they are, not the label or diagnosis they have been given. I understand that some behaviors or reactions by someone diagnosed with AS may be considered "inappropriate" or embarassing by others. The person with AS misses out on social cues and isn't embarassed, so why should I be? I can be in the moment and enjoy the person as he is, without expectation or demands. What a joy it is to be around a person that is who he is without considering what others are thinking about him.
If what you are refering to in question 2 is acceptance insofar as marriage, for me AS is not an issue but whether the person is capable of empathy and emotional intimacy, good communication, has common interests, among other things.
Kind regards

i don't be attentive to what the official information are for adult males with Aspergers and marriage yet i've got faith the cost to be extraordinarily low. i'm suspected to be an Aspie yet undiagnosed and that i'm 38 and have by no potential been married or in an intimate courting. i won't be able to discover the object now yet I undergo in innovations one man or woman writing approximately Aspergers from Ohio and saying out of the eighty grownup Asperger adult males in the help team, in basic terms 2 had ever been married and one became into an arranged marriage to benefit a eco-friendly card. no longer the happiest odds yet those have been the enjoying cards we've been dealt and that i assume we are able to in basic terms do the superb we are able to from there.

well it depends on the severity of it. I'd have to get to know them and again it depends. If it was severe then no.
