Reading people and romantic relationships?

NAS77044

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

[link removed]

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? [link removed]

  • Yep! But you can rely on what they say. I think my girls friends always found me quiet brazen. Like guy? Ask guy!  One way or another: job done. 

    Nah, can't read the subtle cues much, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Worst that cam happen is they say: 'No'.

     Mind you at my time of life, I'm a bit old for that. I was once young though...and the approach has taken me down some profound and interesting roads.

    I did spend an interesting evening once with a good friend explicitly teaching me how to "make eyes" at some one. At a certain point she said: "You go to the juke box now, he'll follow you". He did. How on earth did she know? We'll we'd no idea I was autistic. I just thought she was psychic.

    Anyway, I went out briefly with the lovely young man, but we ended up good friends. Lol. I made a friend anyway.
