I met this low functioning autistic guy. He can barely speak, but can write and communicates through his ipad. Actually, when he speaks he could seem to be a little retarded (i'm saying it without meanness), that's truly hard for him, but whatever he writes is so deep and so full of emotions, so profound and he sees everything with such a lucidity, he can sees what we normal people cant see, he is such a pure heart, so colorful in this grey world. Then, he paints, he does so beautiful paintings. He expresses himself through it a lot. He is 21 and he is beautiful, totally beautiful. I met him one day, he was in a park playing with some leaves, i got closer to him and i felt so enchanted, then i began to visit him sometimes at his house.i think that his autism, besides all of the stereotypies, is just a huge sensitiveness, he feels life and people so good.sometimes i can not understand him of course.sometimes i feel so far, so unsensitive, comparing to him.but when i spend some time with him, i have so much fun and i enjoy it so much and i learn many things about life.then, he is very affective, so sometimes he takes me and just kiss me on my lips, but everything is really innocent and funny.i know that many people would think i'm crazy.but, i cant stop thinking about him.i visit him something like once pro week, but knowing him has changed my life.and i cant get rid of him on my thoughts.i'm afraid i'm in love with him, he's just too special, and normal people are so boring and so without sensitivity! but this is not my question, doesn't matter what do i feel.i just wanted to ask, if anybody knows (altough is difficult to know because i know how complicated and unknown autism is), can low-functioning autistic people fall in love? like thinking about an other person, missing another person, wanting an other person… falling in love as we normal people do.whenever you cant answer, every little thing about this low-functioning world is very welcome! please, if you are one of those people who thinks that autistic people are retarded and without feelings, please dont write it here, i know very well that is not like this.
