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'm not trying to put a downer on things - but having checked out all the prior mentioned dating sites - unless you're female or homosexual (not trying to be a ***), there's no point signing up to those, the majority of the users are inactive and those that are active are approx. 95% male - my own suggestion to deal with dating is to just chat to people in discord servers or teamspeak servers (if online dating is the only way u want to go), that is not to say; stalk every girl you meet online, believe me when i tell you that in those aforementioned places, they get that enough as it is, just be yourself and stuff will happen. Alternatively, try to get yourself a small ring of friends, and try and branch out from there, if you feel up to it.

    Remember, people won't come to you, you have to make the effort to look for them first. (The irony of this is that it suggests people WILL come to you - but many people apply that ironic logic, and so nearly nobody looks, so it circles back on itself) Worst case scenario is the person you are interested in will say no - which can be crushing i know, but stand up and press on.
