Reading people and romantic relationships

NAS70873

I was wondering if autistic people cannot read people how would you know if you like someone romantically?

As I was told by a psychiatrist that when you have autism you struggle to read people, which surely means understanding the character that would make you fall for them? 

Please could someone explain? Thank you :)

  • I think you would know if you liked someone enough to want to spend lots of time with them but maybe you might need to get to know them first rather than in movies etc when people just look at each other for the first time and fall in love. My issue is more with realising that people like me, I usually have to be told rather than picking up on flirting and hints
