I don't know much about his methods, but his statistics, even if they were on a relatively small sample size, about men with female siblings seems to be significant. It could be that lack of exposure to same or similar age female relatives leaves a gulf in the ability of Aspie men to cope with girls/women in the real world. As such, it seems to create an issue that doesn't fall exclusively or consistently under the Aspie label.
I have a sister but she's also a love-shy , what does that mean? lol
It means you both probably don't talk to eachother
Shyness isn't a bad thing for women though -- studies have found that shy women are actually more likely to get married than non-shy ones -- It kind of plays into gender expectations.

True i know so many very shy girls who are taken , but my sister never even had any kind of relationship, while I am sure she's not homosexual but I suspect that she might be kinda asexual ....even she suspects that, she's 33.

Strangely enough, I have a sister like that as well, who is either super-picky or just doesn't know how to send the signals. She's very pretty too, but she's 30 with no serious BF in years.
She's has far better social skills than me tho ....too much better to the extent that she can't be an aspie, but she's kinda loner and always had very few friends.
She never even complained for not having a bf and she doesn't seem want or need one either.
Should we invent a new syndrome for that case?
Maybe aspie's sister syndrome?

I'm love-shy and I'm a straight female.
If I like someone, I can't look at them at all or talk to them, or even talk to someone else about them. I feel like running away and hiding with embarrassment.

Is it out of nervousness, or is there another reason for that? I remember my "flight" response kicking in when talking to women in the past, but now I can talk to women without getting nervous (albeit not romantically)...
PS: if that's you in your avatar, I must say you're a good looker...
