Autism Love

It began in January of 2012 at a museum center in Cincinnati Ohio. I am in a Autism group and we have Teen Night Out once a month. I walked in and seen my former group leader Amanda standing there. It was my first group outing and I was super nervous. I seen this guy standing with the group and I was like he is cute. He said hello to me and I just giggled a lot. I finally said hello to him as well. Our tour of the museum finally started and we got to sit in a train and he who's name is Zac sat next to me. It was awesome although I was super nervous. Then went to the theater there to see a film and he asked me to sit next to him. We were flirting all day and it was amazing! After the film our group went to the ice cream shop and Zac sat next to me. We exchanged phone numbers and said our goodbyes. Over the next few days we found out how much we have in common. He finally asked me to be his girlfriend days later!!! We have been together ever since which will be two years next month (: There is a little age difference but it doesn't matter to us. We work on accepting having autism together and we don't let it stop us. If it weren't for having autism we may have never found each other. Having autism is quite difficult but he and I couldn't be happier with who we are! We want to tell others with autism to never ever give up no matter what!
