A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

I'm 28. I have a good career, a good dog, and an affordable apartment in a great neighborhood. The cars thing is obviously very subjective; for me personally I'm thrilled that I live somewhere that I can get away with not needing to own a car.

The only thing that isn't going my way is the relationship thing. Feels like that's never going to happen for me. I've been single my whole life and often doubt that I'll ever find someone. I have ASD so the skills that most people develop naturally which are necessary to develop and maintain a romantic relationship never developed for me.
