writes:Is it usual for someone with Asperger Syndrome to have a crush on someone for decades after first meeting them? I'm talking about a crush that never led to a date. This seems really rare among neurotypical people. Do people with AS have a harder time getting over their crushes?

I've been so hung up on the same man for literally most of my life. I asked him out before, but I was just eighteen at the time and he was in his thirties. He said no because I was young.
Now I'm in my thirties and have my own family, as does he now. Nothing can ever become of these feelings, but I think about him every single day. When I see him I can't take my eyes off of him. I just wondered if AS has something to do with it. I'm not diagnosed with it; I just have most of the traits. He is the man I compare every man to, and there really is no comparison. He's beautiful.
Thank you, tantevictoire, for taking the time to give your opinion. Maybe I'm not as alone as I think I am.

And I can say to you, I have experienced something similar to the type of crush you mention and thought it Odd.
Dunno. I'm sure plenty of "normal" folk has experienced the same, you just don't hear them talking about it.
