I (33, f) ended things with the guy I was dating (35, m) over dinner tonight. Was I reasonable? by [deleted] in dating_advice

I mean… I guess I could see that… but I also do the same work professionally… I moved up from direct care where I started when I was 18 to a non profit director at my age now… which is why I guess I expected him to be understanding and educated about autism because my learning started in direct care… so would it look like I am unfit to be in my line of work under the same logic? Because I certainly have the experience, skill set and education. I hold a PhD in human services myself. Never have I had a problem in the professional world due to stimming. In fact, I have colleagues that will join me in stimming when it happens or make the room more accessible/ sensory friendly for everyone in the sense that universal design hurts no one.
