Don't take this at wrong, but if it makes you sad for the reasons i'm thinking, that annoys me a little.

and so what if he found someone? he doesn't deserve to find a girl and be happy for some reason? i can't see why he shouldn't be happy.
This is also my opinion on the thing. (i think the girl is more attractive than average Jane tough)

But why do you imply the article treats that as it being wrong? The media publish what gets more views, wether that is beautiful or wrong or whatever. I think it just treated it as something interesting rather than wrong.

This is partly why i would like for newspapers to be mostly good news or news of admirable people, so that people can't have that escape.

First of all, I don't give a chainsaw about this article or this guy or whatever he does.

To be honest, there's nothing special about this. Sure the guy had aspies but he seems like a very capable person. It shouldn't surprise anyone, let alone cause you all this torment.
Napoleon you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about all this... You view some random guy's random success in comparison to your own situation and it certainly is frustrating to think of it this way. But in the end this article is completely meaningless... This article is comparable to writing about a man being struck by lightning or winning the lottery. It's useless information and has nothing to do with you, so there's no reason for it to bother you at all. This guy is not you, even if they do describe him similarly.
On a sidenote this is the reason I hate stupid news articles like this... People tend to feel better when comparing themselves to others in worse positions and so the opposite is also true. However you don't need to rely on any outside references to define your own self. All that there is to be said about this is "good for you" and then forgetting about it... there's no reason this article should cause you so much trouble.
TL;DR: This article is not worth giving a fuck about.

Re: Even this guy got a girl!
The guy sounds cool! I'd love to have a friend that was into making model drones, and sure, the girl is pretty i think.
There's a newspaper article about a guy finding a girlfriend?

You can be comforted by the fact that statistically they will break up.

I don't understand how this is significant. I go to school with a lot of people with Asperger's, and many of them have dated or are dating. I'm a little frustrated that they make this out to be some kind of big thing.

It is loser propaganda. You know more and more people are just giving up on mating. You know because they are losers with no social skills. So these kind of articles are needed to inspire those who are weak-willed and stupid, and cannot read.

And a really beautiful one by the way.
It seems that mass murder and genocidal rage are the way to a beautiful woman's heart .

Women tend to like if you do something and are confident about it. Even if that something is being a genocidal tyrant. I'm sure Hitler got tons of interest from the women of Germany.
