teenage son is girl crazy

the Is problem you’re asking him to go against his innate instincts. Instinct so hardwired into the human brain that we’ve had them forever and if we didn’t have them we’d probably go extinct.

you saying back off back off May stop him losing friends but it isn’t going to get him a girlfriend and he knows this. Because he was probably interested in girls long before he started approaching them so boldly and playing it cool back then never got him a girlfriend.

this is one of those cases where you cannot stop the behaviour you have to try and modify it. You cannot expect him to stop trying to get a girlfriend. So I suggest instead you put your mind to figuring out how he can get a girlfriend in a way that doesn’t alienate a lot of people.

here let me ask you a different question. Why do you think they all said no? I mean evidently your son is amiable enough and likable enough to have a circle of friends. Why do you think out of all of those friends no Girl wants to date him?

I was in the same scenario, I was 'Just a Friend'.

In the end, I became a recluse. 

I mean from a normal teenage behaviour point of view there is nothing inherently autistic about being girl crazy being a 16-year-old boy and being girl crazy is normal. Abnormal thing is having absolutely no success and losing lots of friends over it. That may be an autistic thing but if it is the solution isn’t to stop him trying it’s to help him succeed.

what is it about Neurotypical‘s seem to think it’s acceptable to think that autistic people should just give up on having a romantic or sexual relationships. This ‘if at first you don’t succeed give up’ attitude. since when did that ever do anyone any good. Even their own parents seem to think it’s perfectly normal that because their child happens to have autism they won’t get  to grow up and have wives and children and live normal lives with the opposite sex and this is just something that just has to be accepted.

you wouldn’t get that anywhere else. if a kid in a wheelchair wanted to do basketball they say to them well you can do wheelchair basketball. But apparently autism is such a handicap when it comes to relationships as far as they are concerned that attempting to have a romantic or sexual relationship is completely unrealistic as far they are concerned. There is no attempt to help them overcome that obstacle like there would be with say a job or a sport they wanted to do

Very well put. Autistic people deserve companionship and fulfillment as much as anyone else

As a kid who had a father I can guarantee you they’re not particularly good at this kind of thing either. In fact nine times out of 10 they will tell the Mum to handle it.

This is why kids need a Father, to mentor them.

Mums would always jump to worst-case scenarios. Boys and girls need to learn responsibility.
