    What is a relationship?

    I have been wanting to post something like this for a while now, but never found the exact way I want to word it, so here’s an attempt: How exactly do you define a romantic relationship? I have read and heard so much about people deciding to “work on their relationship”. Sometimes they have...

    Adapting to being single for life

    Following my very long first thread here about being single/virgin at almost age 30 (my 30th birthday is this Thursday), I was wondering about choosing to resign myself to be single for life. It is another path, but I was thinking about how I have a lot of quirks and difficulties that would make...

    Craving touch but afraid of intimacy. Your thoughts?

    Hi all, I have looked around the forums for a few days and there is something I noticed. Many people here don’t like to be touched, apart from people they know well. For me, it’s the other way around. I like being touched when a connection to me is not the point of the action. Things like...

    Is dating harder for men with ASD compared to women with ASD?

    I have noticed throughout my life that I have met a lot more men who have some degree of autism or Asperger's who are single, compared with women with the same condition. Given that men are still expected to do all of the approaching and initiating, no matter how far society has advanced in...

    Should men on the spectrum follow neurotypical advice for dating women?

    Following my first thread about myself being a 30 year old male with Asperger's who has always been single plus a virgin, I was recommended a few websites and YouTube channels about dating advice. But I find that the advice seems to be much more geared towards neurotypical men. For example...

    Worrying about my autistic son's future

    My oldest has autism. He is high functioning. How can I deter him from having a “girlfriend” and have children and at the same time encourage my younger son who is neurotypical to have girlfriends?

    How Would my Parents React . . .

    I wonder how my parents would react if I started dating another dude. Of course, due to anxiety of them finding out, I'd try to keep it secret, but I wonder how they'd really feel. They are Christians, and they made multiple attempts to make me be the same way, the most recent of which were...

    Hi everyone! I have been dating my boyfriend for a little over a month now. We both just graduated high school and have been best friends for two years. I have known that he has high functioning autism and I could see the little signs. But something that I've never encountered with him is a...

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    I do not understand how people manage the dating scene sometimes. Or not even the scene, but just the idea of dating. In the past two weeks I have had three individual situations that have been something that could lead somewhere. But, just... Aren't. And I am so exhausted mentally and...

    Suspect my boyfriend has Aspergers

    I have been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years. We are in our late 20s and in the last 6 months we moved in together. He has problems socially and doesn’t have many friends or lasting friendships. He has trouble verbalizing his emotions or showing much emotion. I didn’t notice right away, but...

    nearly 50, just so quiet and alone

    AS usual, I've come here with lots of thought and feelings spinning through me. Then wasn't sure where to post, or even what I wanted from posting. I think I'm used to writing this kind of thing in my diary, but as I've now found some understanding and supportive people, thought I would open it...

    Has anyone been successful on SpectrumSingles.com ?

    It's a dating site for people on the spectrum. You fill out a huge questionnaire and it will match you with people with a similar personality type. It bases the questions off of issues with being on the spectrum. It seems interesting and I made an account.

    Dating Corner

    For those with the Asperger's Syndrome condition, love can be extremely hard to do properly, as finding the right person, and under the right circumstances, is nearly impossible. Something always seems to get in the way, whether it be some critical difference that makes a potential mate...

    I have had romantic relationships since I was 18, I’m 31 now. I finished a long relationship a while ago and had been happily single. I was diagnosed with Aspergers 4 months ago, I’ve been enjoying the liberation it feels to understanding yourself better. I’ve been feeling positive and...
