strip away the ability

just because other people don't follow your über-minimalist preferred style of writing doesn't mean that it's "badly written".

What next? Victor Hugo didn't know how to write?

I assume this probably comes from a book or article. You're right of course about the wordiness but if you weed that out in a translation, then you're actually re-writing it and taking away the writer's style. You have to be careful with that. It would be ok in a different kind of document but maybe not in this case. I don't want to start a debate about this - maybe we have different a approach to translation.

It's extremely wordy and repetitive, which is possibly why the asker is having trouble understanding it. I wouldn't reproduce this in a translation.

"Many people on the autism spectrum struggle with dating and relationships. This has propagated the arguably offensive myth that they are somehow loveless, lacking the ability to be romantically involved with others."

I don't think the text is badly written, it just a bit wordy. Depending on what the translation will be used for, it should maybe follow that same style.
To answer the questions answer has, 'one' means 'anyone', people in general. 'One strips away' is not meant literally but it is part of people's wrong beliefs about an autistic person, that all autistic people are seen as unable to love. These beliefs are offensive because they put autistic people in a wrong light, they see them as somehow 'sub-human'.

If you're translating this, I would leave it out. It's just repeating the previous sentence. And the first sentence, with its repetition of "people" and "spectrum", is so badly written it's difficult to understand.
