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 :)

  • I have played the dating game and tbh I cant do small talk, so I bore them silly with the details of IT and computing, scuba diving and anything else I happen to be interested in at that point.  Then we amicably finish the date and never speak to each other again.  i've done that 3 or 4 times in the last 2 years.  thats my experience of dating NT's.  Once day I might find an ND and then it might be more interesting.
