my boyfriend has autism and aspergers and he has never been in a relationship before and doesn't know anything about having a girlfriend or how relationships work, how can I help him understand about it in a way that he will understand and wont get confused?
All I can really add is to quote my 11 year old daughter when I asked her about how we should treat neurodiverse individuals:
"You should just treat them the same way as everyone else. Of course you need to think about their needs but as a person just treat them as a person"
'nuff said, really
The "out of the mouths of babes" quote is fitting here. Not religious as such but stuff kids say sometimes just cuts through all the nonsense. Straight to the point.
