Maybe the gender role reversed can work out, but I don't know for sure. Here is a link, with an article written by an experienced man diagnosed with autism. I do find quite a bit from this experience to be very true. And the rules are necessary.

That sounds to me like good advice for anyone, male or female, ASD or not.

The only one I question in that article is meeting for lunch. I've always perceived lunch as a "friend" kind of thing.

If you feel sympathy for each other, but are yet not in the level of love/partnership, whats wrong about doing friendstuff with a friend?

I noticed the article had more to do with dating and courting than it did friendship. Considering my work and research on self-defeating patterns of behaviour, I do think that this article is very helpful.

As much as I appreciate the honesty, I'm not sure the best way to start an article on this subject is to describe the slow disintegration of your marriage.
