Dating Agencies for Asperger People

GaS

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but ..

My son is 38 , diagnosed with Aspergers at age 20 .

He has a very limited social life but is so wanting to find a girlfriend and has been joining various well known dating agencies online ( and spending quite a bit of money to do it Frown ) but he is finding it hard to accept that his aspergers may put people off .

I don't want him to feel that he is inferior to other folks , which he isn't , but I really don't think the websites he has been trying are suitable for him . Does anyone know if there are any "asperger friendly" sites that he could look at ?

  • I have the same difficulties (28, Male) I've had one long term relationship which ended at 24ish and nothing else since. I have been on a few dates in the past couple of years but only because others have organised them for me. Even my long term relationship was due to my younger brother setting me up with her.

    My biggest fear when talking to someone is rejection and striking an initial conversation. If maybe you or one of his friends or work colleagues could do the initial leg work to get an initial date then the rest would be up to him. There is also a lot of literature on the internet which can help with dating etiquette and do's and don't.

    I am OK with giving advice like this, I wish I just followed it myself...
