Hi, I’m an autistic adult and recently watched a programme which I thought could be of interest to some of you

Not too long ago I’d been watching an episode of ‘The Undateables’, (which for those of you who might not know it’s a programme to do with adults with autism and/or other disabilities dating someone who also has disabilities) and can be quite interesting to watch :)

  • Well I for one have no dating troubles... simply because I haven't actually dated in about 20 years.  Most of the people I grew up with are now in relationships or married with kids.  On the one hand I feel jealous of them having someone to 'share the load' so to speak, on the other it feels like it'd be a nightmare for me to have to navigate the vagaries of married life every single day.
