| From the comment you made OP, I would maybe hold off on dating and concentrate on social skills and social boundaries. I don't know how long you've known this guy but, constantly holding hands and especially kissing someone is usually considered actions done between someone you are already in a roma... |

| To the OP, you are in a "situationship" with this guy. There is two ways you can go about this: 1. Attempt a relationship or a fwb with him. 2. Keep the boundaries platonic and nothing more. Considering from what you said, he got jealous when you had a date but, is more than happy to date ... |

| The person that takes precedence isn't just decided by you and the other person, other factors are considered as well. For instance you said that person A is "lower functioning" than you, that could mean that there are people taking care of them as well. From what I understand you are your... |

| There was a similar thread to this but, instead it was traits that you did relate. I will answer the same way I answered there, None. Reason? There is no trait that exist that is exclusive to autism. Everything mentioned here you can find in any other person. Autism is not a "club", it is ... |

Even when I told them that I didn't have any money to send they still kept asking me. It got to the point where I had to end the friendship. Though we are back to being frie... |

| "Simps" won't ruin dating. They existed since pretty much when humans existed. What will ruin dating is the cost of living going up, the individualistic mindset that society is pushing, marriage and family being pushed away increasingly, and the idea that "you can have it all". C... |

My advice is to tell your friends firmly that the jokes they are making are not funny and actually hurt. If that doesn't work then you most likely... |
