^ She talks as if all non-Western societies live on another planet and “courtship” and “couples spending time together” are exclusively a western thing. lol

However, even in the hypothetical future case of a much better-organized and more cohesive autistic community, I think a better idea than arranged marriage might be some kind of arranged courtship, with the matchmaker as a common confidant for both people, so that, if/when either person wants to take things to the next level but is too shy to say so directly, they can tell the matchmaker instead, and the info gets passed along only if the matchmaker has determined that the desire is mutual. This could take a lot of the awkwardness out of dating, it seems to me.

I wanted to say before that I think this is a good idea in theory. In fact, I think many people who are not autistic might benefit from the services of such a matchmaker.

Well, apparently the four episodes have been taken off of Youtube. While I saw all four episodes and enjoyed them immensely, my wife agreed to watch the second episode last night after somewhat reluctantly watching the first episode with me a few weeks ago. I was very excited to watch the second episode with her last night. Gone.
