The 6 part videos I posted, was to show the questions about how these children approaches dating. The one girl cannot stand being called a girlfriend, but can't do without her best friend.

To be fair the girl in question is very young and probably not ready for dating or a boyfriend yet, so the comparison is a little skewed.

Interesting video series though.

I'm an AS woman, and I have NO trouble whatsoever attracting men on and off the spectrum. I'm talking intelligent, successful, attractive men. I think it has something to do with the fact that I am, contrary to the AS stereotype, extremely open with my feelings and very affectionate/loving. It's hard to stay with almost anyone though, because they usually don't "get" me. Luckily, I found me an AS guy, and he's pretty much my soulmate: a stars and kisses and rainbows, glitter unicorns, kittens, and marshmallows kind of love.

it must be hard juggling physics with juggling, however i suppose that studying physics in order to learn how to juggle is a step in the right direction.

I mean its what it was done last time a female started a similar post and we are all for equal treatment, right?


Or maybe until they start posting how they would give their right nut to have anybody, anybody at all, who would go out with them and so therefore the OP doesn't deserve to be picky, etc.

I personally think the OP must think we are all alike or something. Whats he know about aspie girls? I know several from here and none of us fit what I assume would be the stereotype, like that Blossom character from Big Bang.

There are some wannabe PUA types here who associate being NT with quality and Aspie woman as being wierd, unfeminine and having poor "dating value." Self hating Aspies mostly.

Ok, before you guys start attacking me, I have to say this. I think I know the topic you're talking about. I hope that girl got the advice she needed from a different forum section. I do see how AS could be a problem when dating. And no, I don't mind if someone rejects me because of my AS.

The first post wasn't well written so it's easy to misinterpret it. I find writing difficult myself so I try to give everybody the benefit of the doubt.

Why would there be a long line of men trying to date aspie women if they had a poor dating value? What author meant to say was that aspie women are so great that all (aspie) men want to date them. That may not be true. Author may suffer from low self esteem. But I don't see how thinking that aspie women are unobtainable, makes you a PUA.

I guy with a PHD should know to read more carefully than that.

You got it backwards. Four times as many guys are disgnosed with AS than women. Though its probably underdiagnosed in girls. The real ratio might be 2 to 1, or even close to even. But there is no way that you saw it written that 'more women have it than men'.


I figured he had a dyslexia attack and mixed the two words, I've done that.

That said a judgmental jerkwad doesn't sound appealing to me.

because everything has to be fully explained in order to be able to move on when you know nothing else.

Just thought I would say that dating an aspergirl is amazing. Sure there have been a few hiccups a long the way and I am sure there are many more to come but once you work through the issues, you end up with a honest, loyal, caring companion who will never leave your side. At first our relationship had a few issues because i didn't know what i was doing to upset her all the time, but eventually I made the connection with aspergers and started doing research. Now that I understand AS and her better there is nothing that can stand in the way of our love. For anyone out there dating an aspergirl, do the research, you will be glad you did.
p.s. in case you haven't figured it out already I am an NT.
