My only hesitation here is that a lot of people are going to consider neurodivergent people "weird" at first impression and that that reaction is one that should be fought rather than followed unquestioningly.
Like I absolutely support following your gut when it comes to this but.... I guess this is one of those areas where I feel that feminism that anti-ableism don't intersect perfectly cleanly.
This is very true, thanks for raising the point. At the end of the day "weird" is such a clumsy word that it's probably not a good universal benchmark for evaluating someone as a romantic or sexual partner.

Yeah I knew what you meant I just thought it was important to point out that "weird" has other connotations.
