Bottom line for me is that you used your mental capabilities to force yourself on someone that is in a medically defined vulnerable and treated condition. Definitely a poor reflection on your character in my opinion. You will find out the affect on him when/if you want to back out of the relationship with him. Not sure he will be pleased so prepare yourself. It could be a rough ride.
His "mental capabilities" ? Like, what, he's a super genius or some kind of Svengalli?
Are you suggesting that the autistic are "stupid" or mentally incapable?
Once more- just pandering to the mythos that the disabled are "lesser" beings who must be sheltered from the 'burden' of physical pleasure or close human contact because, what? they might get their hearts broken?
The autistic and other disabled people SUFFER for lack of human love. The idea that they are 'off limits' is just You imposing your biases on a whole group of people... many of whom you wouldn't be able to even IDENTIFY as being 'autistic' were you to meet them.
But here's the truth... this person with autism has to FUNCTION in a society where the entire culture is trying to manipulate him.... everything from pop up ads on his smart phone, to employers who underpay and overwork their staff.
Yes, he might get his feelings hurt ( tho that can be debated given autism's symptoms. )
But who in this life DOESN'T take that risk?
A young man I know just had his first breakup with a woman who turned out to be his first experience of a psycho-bitch.
It ended up with her dramatically ( tho not life threateningly ) pretending a suicide attempt- spraying blood all over his apartment and him having to take her to the hospital.
And SHE tests as perfectly normal and capable.
The disabled have to LEARN to deal with peer pressure, their own hormones, and negotiating their own assent or dissent to a myriad different manipulations that ARE ordinary daily life in a society.
JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
And just as the physically disabled have to learn to cope with a world that might be more difficult because of their particular impairment... so too must the mentally impaired learn how to cope with life. Thru hard experience.
And its unfair to ask them to cope with their sexuality, entirely alone, by telling everyone else it's immoral to so much as ask them.
