An autistic woman who attracts potential suitors without trying is desperately trying to figure out why so she can put a stop to it, sources have said.

Abeer Zaki, 42, has reportedly never flirted in her life, and even considers herself mildly off-putting, but appears to have some sort of irresistible allure to many of the general public – an allure Zaki hopes she can get rid of.

Zaki said: “I can’t tell what it is. Am I making too much eye contact? Can they smell my vulnerability? Does everyone just have a thing for the constantly clueless and perpetually sweaty?”

“I want to be really clear that I neither desire this attention nor know what to do with it. I do not possess the level of milkshake that warrants this number of boys in my yard.”

Bystander Ethan Stern, 34, said: “Have you seen that woman with the glowing skin and intriguing air of innocence? She’s been staring at me all afternoon.”
