| You might want to get hold of Ashley Stanford’s book Asperger Syndrome and Long-Term Relationships. How I wish I had read this book before I met a man last year who seemed perfect for me. We seemed perfect for one another. We got on so well at first and the chemistry was amazing but things soon star... |

| There’s a saying: Two’s company, three’s a crowd and though that’s often meant in the context of two lovers who would rather not have anyone else around I think it can be just as applicable in other social settings. A lot of people are just not that good at addressing whatever they are saying to mor... |

| Another idea. Some of my friends use decorative business style cards that they have printed with their contact details: phone, email and social media. That way, it’s easy to say something like: “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you. Here are my contact details if you’d like to be in touch, maybe get toge... |

| I do understand the situation you are in. Just some background to my own. I’m 60 and live alone since my husband died several years ago. I have friends but no family at all and after a recent health scare, it occurred to me that I just didn’t have measures in place to handle things in the event of m... |

| Again, thank you to all who have taken the time to reply. I suspect you may be right on both counts Summer_Twilight. It’s frustrating though not to have closure, not to know what it is that has offended him, not to have a chance to discuss it and try to put things right. Thanks dobyfm. I am trying n... |

| More and more nowadays, I have noticed that people seem to be speaking more rapidly and often seem to be talking AT one another. They don’t seem to be listening and responding to what the other person is saying so keen are they to say whatever it is they want to say whether it’s relevant to the conv... |

| Thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. In the short time I have known my friend, I have learned that he doesn't explain his actions and that he is very prone to “shutting down” if he is annoyed about something. A couple of weeks have passed since the incident. At the time, I left him a ph... |

| I have an older friend with (I think) undiagnosed ASD. I have known him for about six months and he lives a distance away. He'd seen and admired an object that I had crafted and said he would like one for himself. So, I made him something similar to give as a Christmas gift. It took a couple of week... |

| I miss a lovely man called R. I thought we had fallen in love. He said he loved me. I still love him but his love for me has died. I think he may be an Aspie. I did not realize at the time and got angry with him over stupid things and my anger has pushed him away. When we were together it was magica... |
