Help, I love him and I think he has aspergers.

Post Reply New Topic

He says he is an emotional shipwreck and the thought of any relationship causes anxiety and panic. How can I get him to realize I love him?

tell him, wat AS need more than anything is understanding

Tell Him You Love Him and His Aspergers, even when he has hamburgers.

Just a little something, three page, double spaced, with foot notes.

No one knows what love means, or which version, so you should define your terms on a seperate file.

It might help to attach a questionair.

If you can show your graphs are compatable, you might seduce him with math.

Good Luck!

Fail

Don't pressure him. If he was ready and willing then great, if not, you told him your feelings now step back. But don't pressure him.

Oh, yes - be explicit. This means connect the dots for him. I suggest a mathematical proof; this will make sense to an Aspie, I assure you. That, and you could give him one of those candy heart necklaces. Draw him an oxytocin molecule. Then, hit him over the head with it.

Just tell him. We don't get subtle hints. In fact some of us will completely misinterpret a positive subtle message as something really negative, so if you're trying to send a sly signal that you care for him he might think you're teasing him or condescending to him or just being mean.

I agree with tampapd19. Be explicit.

Yes. Tell him verbally, clearly, bluntly - if you need him to read your mind, you're probably not right for each other. (incidentally NT men also hate when thety're expected to do mind-reading, but they're vastly better equipped to cope with it)

Welcome to WrongPlanet!

Try finding out what his interests are and how you and he can share them.

Definitely tell him how you feel, and what you'd hope to expect from him (something similars been happening to me, with me being the one w/ aspergers, and I have a hard time figuring out what my friend expects, and how to deal with it), then give him time...

I don't know how he is personally, but for me, I just want the friendship, so I'd recommend you telling, then backing off and treating him as normal to let him decide what to do... keep moving on might scare him (did me), possibly to the point he may want to avoid you-- don't think you want this, so just have a good talk and let everything be bluntly spoken, he should understand what you mean, but also have him understand where he stands (does he want to date, doesn't he? does he have any reservations? that kind of stuff), the more laid out and constructed things are, the easier for us to deal (we hate uncertainties, so worrying about if this or that is right isn't good, so if its structured, its easier to handle)

Good luck ^^, just don't expect too much, if your patient that might end up being all you can rely on for a while... but best of luck to you

Just explain to him how you feel.
