Dating : Can I (17F) date if I have a developmental delay?
I have a slight cognitive delay. I’m need a little extra time and help to get things done, but I’m getting there. I’m a few years behind where I’m supposed to be. I’m catching up with my classmates but I’m very insecure about it. Some kids my age are very cruel to me. I also use a cane for my back, I have two herniated discs.
Would anyone want to seriously date me? I’m afraid I’ll only get taken advantage of. Boys my age have pretended to like me as some sick joke so I tend to gravitate towards older men but everyone says that’s bad. I really want children and I’m afraid no one will love me and make that happen.
a person whose understanding of your situation would not care and would date you. obviously kids in you age range tend to be a little immature. perhaps dating someone whose 18-20 might be better.
