Dating

Your parents see their peers with neurotypical children and want to see their child do exactly the same things, it’s so much harder for autistic people, I spent all my teenage years wanting a girlfriend, as with most of us, I got called weird. Don’t do anything you are not happy with, there’s nothing wrong with having a male or female friend but you set the rules, you can just be friends and see how that goes. Without going too deep, we are vulnerable people, just be your brilliant self and do what you are happy with, don’t do things because someone wants you to.
