Relationships

What are autistic adults supposed to do about relationships?

All the social skills stuff is about starting conversations or finding friends, but nothing about what to do after that.

I can find nothing for autistic adults and how to deal with the complexities of relationships. It is all just surface stuff about how to talk to people, or start conversations. 

Where can I find out what to do?

  • Hello. I'm sorry you're feeling so unsure and so alone. You're right that there is very little  wriiten for AS folk on relationships but I think NT people struggle with them too, they're just difficult!

    There are AS people on this forum who will be happy to advise if you feel able to ask specific questions about your situation. Is your partner NT and could you say what you feel has gone wrong?
