Bit cheesy and patronising, but still quite nice.

That's sweet! :)

Just be sure to ignore the middlebrow NT sentimentality... :wink:

Yeah the presenter, and general Americanness of it all, is a bit grating to my cynical Britishness. But I was just pleased to see something positive about aspie relationships, that we can find love, and it doesn't need to conform to the NT idea of it.

Anyway, yes, I agree with Grisha. :wink:

Exactly. I don't think it's too difficult for Aspies & Autistics to have a relationship if they meet the rite person who can understand & deal with those characteristics but finding that person is the hard part
