Involved with a man that has Aspergers...

[Skyling]

Could anyone give me any advice on being involved with a man with Aspergers? I also have Aspergers, but I've always been good with guys (downfall, I have very very few female friends as I can't interact with them as well).

 

We are both not the best at picking up hints and signals (myself maybe more than him as he has admitted to sending me mixed signals), and I am more blunt than most at finding out how guys feel about me. I just asked him, and he said yes, he did "love" me (though he told me long before I asked him).

 

So is there anything I should know? I've known a few guy friends with it, and not too much would surprise me, but I'd like advice anyway.

 

(And another thing, he has not dated for about 7-8 years.)

have a look at the movie Mozart and The Whale, about a couple who have aspegers/ autism

Being an aspie myself I have to agree with Sarah, tolerance and patience for each other's quirks and routines is essential.

 

And also since you two are not the best at picking up hints from each other: assume nothing.
