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 ?

Parents

  • it was refreshing to see a post from the parent of a young adult. Lots of us must have the same concerns.  But I wonder whether (unless someone has actually expressed a wish to meet a partner) we just assume they would be happier if only they could find that special person? Looking at the other posts it seems the social discomfort and the pain of failed relationships could be worse than being solitary. As parents are we just trying too hard to protect and ensure happiness because that's what we do but it's just not possible? Lots of questions but I don't have answers!
