I actually have dated a girl who mentioned she was diagnosed with autism, a mild form (probably Aspergers). She was physically attractive, and a nice girl. She was just a bit socially awkard and acted wierd sometimes. I wouldn't have married her though.
No need for anger and insults. Let's clear up some stereotypes and misconceptions about autism spectrum disorder.
First, autistic people are not "stupid."
Fact: People with autism can have varying levels of intelligence and cognitive abilities. They may have an intense interest in certain topics. Some autistic people may have cognitive deficits, or they can show "splinter skills," which are isolated, advanced abilities that may be remarkable or far above the norm.
Second, the notion that autistic people can't feel emotions is false.
Fact: Autistic people do have emotions, but it's often harder to process them and express them appropriately. It's also difficult to recognize social cues such as facial expressions and/or body language. Sensory issues, such as aversion to bright light, loud sound, or bitter tastes, are not uncommon. All of this can make it difficult to develop relationships and attachments to other people.
Third, no two autistic people are exactly alike. Some people require extra assistance and care throughout their lives. Others function independently and make many positive contributions to society. It is not impossible for autistic people to develop relationships with others or to make sense of the world around them. But they learn and think differently from NTs. It's important to give them the support and understanding they need to reach their full potential.

No I wouldn't. Most autistic women I met on the Internet treated me like crap so no I wouldn't even touch such an passive-aggressive, braggart woman.
