Just another thought to add. Friendships are also very valuable relationship experience. Making a new friend is so similar to dating. If you focus on that also it should be helpful. And it also means you have people who know you personally to discuss dates with. They may be able to offer tailored in...

Relationshios do give experience but not always good experience. I know more than one person who still has hang-ups from an ex who made them doubt themselves. Also a sad number end in one person cheating which can leave the other with lasting trust issues. I do completely see your angle and I unders...

Plus restricted/repetitive behaviours, at least two of the following: 1. Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, speech - you haven't mentioned stimming/stereotypy or tendency to organise/categorise objects I didn't think to mention it but he does do a repetitive behaviour when h...

I do really appreciate all input on this, but it really has gone completely off what I originally hoped to discuss. I think the example with the girl is perhaps. Separate issue to tackle. What I was really hoping was for advice about the rest of his life. People are saying about spoilt childhood. I ...

Thank you I will have a good read after work today. I know I will provide a starting point and it is up ti him where his research and reading leads him. It is really helpful to have links that others have found valuable.

I had a weird thought, but it might work. Many people with ASD like "guides" in areas they are interested in, in my experience. Maybe compile some Youtube videos about dating (preferably by women) into a playlist, as well as a bunch of articles? That way, its a "research endeavour&qu...

I don’t understand how having AS makes one not to understand “No”. This is probably a serious manners issue or serious impaired IQ issue. How severe is his autism? I would say he is very high functioning. He has lived on his own for several years, held down jobs successfully, changed his routine an...

Thank you, they never caught the two perpetrators, but DNA for one is on the police system so if they do anything again it should link up. Yes you are right a lack of social awareness has definitely caused him some problems through life. I think two things that holds him back the most dating-wise is...

Would you say that completely misreading a response like that is nothing to do with potential autism? I came on here as there are many other reasons to think he is on the spectrum. I read about the top features of aspergers and he was a strong match for nearly every one. I have perhaps given the wor...

That is really terrible for that poor girl to have been through that experience. I do completely understand your point and of course you do not know my brother or what he could be capable of. I truly believe that he wouldn't physically force himself on somebody if she was saying no and scared. He is...

Thank you, your answer is really helpful. It sounds very much like him when you said about insulating yourself and making others out to be the cause. He is quite indignant that this girl he loves hasn't yet decided it's time to love him back. He just doesn't accept that he just isn't the man for her...

Hi. I hope I am okay posting in here. I am neurotypical (to my knowledge), but I wanted to ask advice about my brother. He is undiagnosed and nobody has ever mentioned autism to him, but I strongly believe that he could have aspergers. He shows many signs such as not making friends easily and diving...
