| Interesting story, but not much new. The level "autistics want relationships" is painfully low, and I bet the conference won't go into the more interesting differences that are so important to the success or failure of neurodiverse relationships. I'm hoping that we do represent neuodivers... |

| Hi all, Love is Survival. This is why I created Love & Autism: A Conference with Heart in Sunny San Diego on August 23-24th. Autism can not be reduced to behaviors and compliance.

| Donna W is quite an autism advocate. I'm so pleased to have her speak at an upcoming conference: Love & Autism: A Conference with Heart. By the way, in my opinion if she was "faking" her autism, she'd ask for way higher amounts of money to speak. I look forward to hearing her unique perspective.... |

| I'm a couples therapist and I hear similar sentiments all the time for my clients that have not had the fullfiling relationships that they crave.What many of us do when we are not feeling a level of competence in an area, is we avoid.

| I resonate entirely with this notion: "Man, I wish I had a close friend who understood me and accepts me for what I am." Without prejudice, without having to worry about whether or not they'll run when you slip up and say something really stupid. That's the extent of love I want. Its never the sunse... |

| LupaLuna- You are right...relationships exist in many forms not just intimate partnerships- but parent-child, sibling, co-worker, friend, relationship with self, and yes...also lover.
