Romance

Autistic Not Alien

What are your thoughts about romance? I think that romance is like communication - it's a two-way street. Autistic people get blamed for ‘hindering’ or ‘damaging’, but there is such a thing as a double empathy problem.

I've posted a short video about romance on my YouTube channel - or rather, it's my response to someone else's video about romance and autism.

  • To me, romance is a way of putting things that generates warm feelings in another person. For example, I recently told Debbie about meeting my partner, how he introduced me to Bowie and we went to his concert, and I said " We were two star struck lovers who saw our hero perform in 1978" which she though was a romantic memory.
