Would you take dating advice from your aunt?

Given the complex nature of familial relations, many people would go to such personal issues to a different level of kin versus one of their parents. (Look it up, it’s a complex theory in evolutionary biology and kin much like how squirrels take risks for the cousins and nephews…or something like that.)

Perspicaciously, two women in the UK have capitalized on this tidbit and offer an online series about dating from a feminist perspective.

They just happen to have aired an episode pertaining to Asperger’s.

Neurotypicals married to Aspergers often cite difficulty in their relationship, more so than neurotypicals married to each other.

Some may feel this is even more difficult for females married to Asperger males, but in the interest of not stereotyping, it’s more important to provide solutions that anyone can benefit from.

Contrary to what some think, Asperger people do indeed get married and have families. However, these living arrangements or the state of the household may be a little different than your neurotypical situation.

#3 Marriages To People From Other Countries

Written by SAPL on Monday, July 14th, 2008 in Marriage and Dating, Socialization.

It is known that many Aspergers, especially in the U.S.,  marry people from foreign countries. This may be due to several reasons. Many countries do not have the same social rules and thus these rules do not get in the way and the social “awkwardness” does not occur when dating someone from another country.  People from countries other than America will often attribute an Asperger’s social differences to cultural or simply don’t care.
