Help with relationships

stranger

This is sort of related (please excuse the pun) to my previous thread.

Anyone know where I can get any help with relationship please? It was discussed with my former social worker last year; but social services won't deal with me now. They don't understand my issues and have decided that they can't be bothered to help me.

There are a few issues regarding relationships that I really need help with.

Parents

  • For me it was a mixture of my therapist, when I was younger/a teenager, but as I've got older it's just been a case of learning from experience.  Everyone has to, no one is born knowing how to have a relationship, just one of those things you have to get as much info on and learn.  It can be harder for people on the autistic spectrum because we can lack friendships of our own peer group that could help with learning about relationships.  Doesn't mean we can't have relationships because we didn't learn from this, just have to go about it a different way a do what's right for you.
