    NT possibly dating man with AS? Help appreciated!

    Thank you for all of your insight and suggestions. Things were going well, so I thought, texting normally, normal phone convos. And then boom one night he called and ended it. Said he wasn't interested in dating anymore and that his heart was not in it. I was shocked and hurt. But nothing I can...

    You explained this so well! It struck me as I was reading it because it made me think of something the guy in dating said to me during the most recent conflict. Part of his response to me questioning if he had time to date me was him being very matter of fact 'I make time to see you cause A. I...

    I did the research and wow. I know that I am a very emotional person with strong emotional needs. I crave connection and intimacy, it's very important to me. I'm just confused I guess. He had mentioned to me before that he has a hard time connecting with people but says he thinks we have...

    Yes good idea, I'll wait until things are less hectic for him. I don't want to add any extra stress. I'm mad at myself for bringing it up in the first place at such a bad time, but I did not realize how badly it would affect him. I hope he understands I did not mean to upset him in this way and...

    Ah wow 30 years ago and it still weighs on you, I am sorry to hear that. I appreciate you going more in depth about the situation. I am giving him space and understand it's a necessity for him. I guess I am in protective mode and keep telling myself he is not coming back, so I'm not so shocked...

    Thank you for sharing your story with me. As hard as I'm sure the situation was, having that insight at least later in may help with closure. Is it something that still weighs on you? Unfortunately I do feel like he will terminate the relationship as well. He asked for space for a 'couple of...

    I was planning on having a conversation with him tomorrow about this but last night I had mentioned to him that I feel we don't spend enough time together because he's been moving and has a lot going on in his life that takes up a lot of time and I asked him if he still felt like he had time to...

    He was the one who mentioned a sociopathic spectrum, relating it to himself. And when he said that I did admit to him that I suspected it because of his comment about not understanding or getting others emotions. He said he was not a sociopath that he does feel empathy. I honestly think he is...

    No I am sorry. I mean the term navigate, as in learned to navigate the typical human world. Yes, I should just ask. He's been so open, but that's the thing, I almost feel he would have straight out told me, he h told me things most would never think of saying. I almost believe he thinks he is on...

    He has used that language, that he has learned how to navigate the 'typical human world'. HE has mentioned feeling more as a droid then a human.

    In that very confusing conversation we had that I had mentioned in the post, he had compared himself to being similarly on the spectrum. But I did not know what that meant. And he even brought up a sociopathy spectrum (which I didn't know existed) but also denying being a sociopath. It was very...

    Hello, I first want to apologize for any ignorance or a lack of education on this topic, I hope to not offend anyone and I am trying to just get some help and gain knowledge. I have done some of my own research on this topic but I don't want to make assumptions although I guess I am on this...
