I have dated people with various other neurotypes in the past. Been with someone who was schizophrenic, she was a lovely girl, but hard to handle. Didn't always turn up to meet me when she was supposed to, more than one suicide attempt, in the end she left me, and I heard after, she threw a knife at her new BF. I don't know the full story though, so I wouldn't judge her on that without knowing, for all I know it could have been a justified situation with him as easily as not.
Also someone who was obviously mentally ill (I found out only after starting to date her), she was either not diagnosed with anything specific,or she was and never mentioned it. I would guess at being borderline, looking back after having experience with someone who was definately borderline, in addition to being dx'd bipolar, although as a housemate, never a partner).
She was a real fuckup to be quite honest, a complete and total travesty of oxygen consumption, she continually lied about things, told people she was the manager at her workplace, which was a load of horse shite, rang me up while she was at work another time to tell me she had just taken a huge OD of paracetamol tablets, which meant I called the ambulance right away and then legged it several miles without stopping once (I was much physically fitter at the time than I am now, and didn't have the nerve damage in my bad leg although I still had the chronic knee problem), I got there before they did and pointed her out. Stupid fuck said she wasn't going to go with them, I pretty much told her that she was going one way or the other weather she liked it or not.
Told me she was pregnant too once, showed me an ultrasound scan photo that I think may well may not have ever been hers, told me I was the father then disappeared entirely, never saw her again.
Dated a couple of people who were depressed, one of them quite badly so. She was a lovely girl, we are still friends although there is quite a lot of history between us of one sort or another. I have nothing but empathy for her, she has a really tough time with it, while some people might 'love' being depressed and make no effort to do anything about it, she has never been like that, and doesn't deserve it at all.
I've had someone with both bipolar and borderline personality disorder (she was also an aspie, but nothing wrong with that at all), as a housemate. She did say she wanted to be in a relationship but I turned her down, as I was not at all attracted to her, she is a vile example of the human species who should have had her throat cut at birth, made a rape claim against one guy she dated to the pork, that I am now pretty confident was a lie, which nearly had him put down like a dog, made another claim previously of attempted rape and stalking, although I can believe that one as the guy in question is well known to be a real A-grade creepy son of a whore who has stalked before, has a paedophile for a best friend who has a history of stalking a dead baby and harassing the parents of said kid, getting into their homes and taking clothing from said baby....
This bitch constantly lied and manipulated people, stole quite a lot of stuff and hid it, although after kicking her out of the house and telling her never to come back, after searching all her stuff and all over the house, found almost all of it it hidden. Found out she had taken my pain meds and hidden them, and a load of benzos, so she could come to the 'rescue' with her own to make herself look good, or leave me to go and have to hunt for poppy pods, after I thought I had lost them or left them at a friend's house. She couldn't even have had a habit and been stealing them for herself as she has a severe allergy to the point of anaphylaxis to the morphinan type opioids, that I could rationalize, but just to get gratitude and attention from someone and manipulate them, I can't even begin to imagine what goes on in the head of the sort of crowbegotten perditionslut freak that would actually want to do that sort of thing.
Tried splitting me up from my GF at the time, always tried getting into my room while I was trying to sleep, insisting she had to feed her pet fish, or coming up with some equally full of shit excuse, and generally a rude, patronizing and obnoxious little bitch to all my family, not to mention the mood swings, general deliberate obstructiveness, seeing things that weren't there, and all manner of other things. Can't think of a single redeeming feature actually, other than she isn't here. I did learn to speak in sign language from her, but still, not a single redeeming feature.
As for ashstorm...why wouldn't you ever date anyone with asperger's, or on the autistic spectrum? what exactly is wrong with us might I ask?
I am classically autie (not aspie) myself, and you know what? I am damn glad of it, I would absolutely hate not to be. Sure, having bright white lights hurt my eyes is a pain in the arse and having sensory aversions to certain textures is a nuisance, but thats nothing that can't be solved by wearing shades, I have a dimmer switch to control the light levels in my bedroom and a 40-watt lightbulb fitted instead of those godsawful energysaver fucking things (I find I can concentrate on whatever I am doing if the lights are turned lower) and simply avoid the textures that bother me, for instance, use a plastic spoon rather than a wooden one if I am cooking or wear gloves if there isn't one. Disliking some foods, that doesn't bother me either, I just eat the food I do like.
Being on the autistic spectrum isn't a mental illness either, its a different neurotype, just an alternative way of being wired up neurologically speaking. I doubt I could count the number of auties or aspies I have dated, been engaged to one, and the other girl I've been engaged to has very likely or definate traits. One of the two, an autie girl I met at a paintball game, really special and wonderful girl, one of the nicest people I have ever met, the way we got together was pretty much her pushing me up against a tree and kissing me, then introduced herself. Huge star trek fan, used to (and probably still does) write star trek fanfic porn, and was pretty good at it too. Not seen her in years, sadly, I often wonder how she is doing for herself.
Actually, I don't date anybody who isn't either classically autistic, or who doesn't have AS, I have done on multiple occasions, and now I wouldn't even think of it, I find people on the spectrum are almost always the most open minded, lively and interesting people, and I find their (or rather, our) traits, mannerisms etc. cute, and in many cases downright sexy as hell.
You say you wouldn't ever date an aspie (and I am going to guess that extends to auties too?) ashstorm, is this from prior experience, or have you ever been in a relationship with someone on the autistic spectrum?
My last GF (in both senses of 'last', as I'll explain, I will never date again) is classically autistic too. A mother of three kids, who is 20 years older than me, at 45. I have never known a woman like her, not even close, intellectually brilliant, quite aloof, good heart, and very driven, the sort who knows her own mind, and doesn't give up when things weigh down on her, I admire that a lot about her. I've learned a lot from her and am a stronger person for it, I owe her a lot for that. And not to mention, without exception, the most beautiful and wonderful, most delightful lady I have ever set eyes on or had the honor of knowing. She broke up with me recently, although for personal reasons, not for anything either of us had done, which has pretty much torn me apart emotionally speaking. Not felt anything, other than for her, and the pain from losing her since then.
We are still close friends, and as far as I am concerned, she is a member of my family.
I won't have another relationship (although my last GF could take me back any time she wanted), because I only date, or sleep with, someone who I am completely committed to, if I'm not willing to be then I just don't see any point in being with someone in the first place, if they aren't worth that, then what is a halfarsed relationship worth? sod all in my view. My last GF is my soulmate, and anyone else I might meet could only ever be a sort of substitute or imitation, there is no way I could give myself to another 100% and I don't think that fair on another woman, who could still be a great person, but never my soulmate's equal. Which I guess has to mean I stay single for the remainder of my life.
I would not wish that disorder on anyone.
jesus!

. If a woman has a mental disorder but is not completely insane and is fun to be around then i have no problem plus since i have bipolar myself it would be rather hypocritical of me now wouldn't it 
There is only one "o" in the word 'paranoid' among other mistakes.
