Aspie females and dating

Post Reply New Topic

Well, there is that, but women with Asperger's don't tend to broadcast it, so generally one looks to the more submissive, quieter women.



Well, exactly. A lot of these women seem very closed people who resist any real contact. In all truth I probably do know a few but it's impossible to engage them in conversation in any case.

sempertemper: I'll try, alright?



No, I suspect that they can 'hold it together' easier due to many of the symptoms of Asperger's traditionally being easier to hide. Plus a lot of women suffer from social anxiety as a result so one can only guess, really.

Good luck with that.

Dude! I'll get it for my bf.
I drove all over town looking for "Aspergirls" today.



Edit: On second thought, this book doesn't sound very helpful. I'm not at all physically-clumsy, nor would I *ever* yell. I don't have a need for time away from my partner (I hate it, actually), nor do I find talking about emotions draining- the opposite. I'm nevertheless as Aspie as they come, with many sensory issues, hyper-analytical thinking, a low tolerance for stress, inability to make eye contact, and "shutdowns". My bf doesn't say much as it is about my Aspergers, and I certainly don't want to give him literature that makes him doubt I have it.
