Can you date someone with asperger's

The purpose of my book is to help people shave off experiences that cause damage. So theyll know from my experiences that if you call someone 100 times in a week, it may work in the movies but it most likely leads to disaster in reality.

Jesse Saperstein knows that all too well. In his new book, Getting a Life with Aspergers: Lessons Learned on the Bumpy Road to Adulthood, the 32-year-old tells his fellows on the spectrum that they need to be up front with potential dates that they have Aspergers. And he says they also need to realize that what feels to them like sincere interest can all too often be perceived as creepiness. This is an edited version of our conversation.

You have no idea. I have definitely been accused of that many times. In college I would try to win people over by giving them long hand-written cards. I continued this into adulthood, but it wasnt considered cute. It was considered disturbing.

Founded in 2006, we are an award-winning group connecting you to highly experienced therapists in our London rooms and online worldwide. Our mission is to improve emotional wellbeing through therapy and educational resources, for those who cannot access therapy services.

I believe my peers and I, we achieve great things by being unrelenting. We dont know when to stop. We can go after things for years. But that relentlessness does not work with humans and human emotions. In adulthood, that translates to full-blown stalking. Sometimes there are legal consequences that could be avoided when the intent is harmless.

Now I tell you, I have Aspergers and this is how I communicate. If this bothers you, you just need to tell me so Ill do better in the future. Ninety-nine percent of the time that works. I sure dont want to miss the people who would love a hand-written card.
