Autism crush?

Question

I found out recently one of my good friends has Autism. I didn't even notice really. I know that might be dumb of me but he's not all the things that Autism usually does...he's actually very social,he does football,plays,choir,everything. And I think I like him a lot...not for sure though. and he's a romantic fool like me. But i'm just wandering..what can I expect from him in a relationship? Because he even said he doesn't express himself that much.

Answer 1

sounds like high functioning autism and you can expect from him just about what you would expect from any boy

Answer 2

I'm Autistic, but I don't rock back and forth repeating stuff I said an hour ago. A lot of this 'typical' Autism is just stereotyping. There are all kinds of Autism--Rett's, Kenny's, Aspergers, etc. Don't worry--just go for it!! Things may seem akward, but when it comes to Autism, everything is!! :D

Thank you for asking this question. To be perfectly honest, I felt offended with some of the responses you got. *Many*, if not all, individuals with autism are able to love. My child has autism and we have made a very strong and solid bond with each other. As a matter of fact, in many ways my autistic child has taught me what "love" really means. To her, I am the whole world and vice versa. *Never* experienced a stronger bond in my life. So, I would say to you not to judge anyone by their "label". Just trust your gut feelings. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

having crush on someone is not bad at all, it's definitely normal. you need someone who mostly like you, love in return like you, in one sentence, you need who has the same interest and point in life. but sometimes they aren't.
i would advice that don't expect in return, you might get hurt or else lose yourself, it doesn't turn the way you want it. he doesn't express himself that much coz he is not the type of guy whose "kiss and tell", but i do believe when he love someone believe me it's really true and it's more than you're ever think of, as of now, you couldn't let him love you coz we don't know what's inside his mind, just do always have a talk and be a good friend, don't push yourself into something that you are not sure of...

Answer 5

it's hard to say what you should expect from anyone in any relationship. just because he's autistic doesn't mean he's incapable of having a good relationship with you. don't let the fact that he's autistic give you second thoughts about pursuing him. by the sound of it it seems like he's coping fine and enjoying many activities. i think you should go for it. autistic people need love too.

Answer 6

There is no "typical" autism. Every person is different. There are plenty of boys/men who do not have autism who have difficulty expressing themselves... trust your heart.

Answer 7

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here http://AttractAnyWoman.emuy.info/?598z

Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

Answer 8

His behaviour doesn't sound typical of someone with Autism.
Are you sure it isn't Aspergers Syndrome?
Anyways...good luck.
