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 ?

  • Gaming. Women who are heavy gamers are usually on the spectrum. My son who does not get out unless he must, has a social life online and even met his gf online. They have met in person also. When I was single, I met my husband online as I can't tell when someone is interested in person, also I can't talk to people in person unless they talk to me and it is still very awkward. Anyhow, we chatted online for a long time on a free site, then talked on the phone for a while then met in person. It allowed us to be friends without meeting then be friends after meeting. You are more comfortable meeting that person after you get to know them a bit online.
