Gotta share this with you. My son with autism got a 5 hour 1 to 1 session with his carer today. He's 12, she's 19. At his age I was just starting to think about the opposite sex (but painfully shy). Let's call her Josephine.

Josephine is astonishingly attractive, she's dead pretty with a lovely smile but more importantly she has a good brain & a body to die for being herself a top swimmer. Beautiful sense of humour, mature for her age, tanned at the mo and indeed absolutely the girlfriend you would wish for your son the same age.

Unfortunately, being autistic, my son doesn't get how lucky he is :beer::beer::beer:

Most autistic people don't actually like the idea of other people in their lives and my son is no different.

So the amazingly nice & attractive Josephine is just a bit of an annoyance to my son: unbelievable!

I love this squills and I can totally identify with it. Don't knock it, it's not a bad thing at all!! I think it's lovely and when your son does get interested in girlies he's likey to look a lot deeper than a fantastic, tanned body for something he finds attractive. Nothing wrong with that :beer:

Bless him.

To my son, girls are just an inconvenience, he really just not get the point, he would rather read a book. :eek::eek:

Hello lovelies. Not long back from our Kent coast adventures.

Thank you to rose TM, Lou, auntycaz, 3 dogs, Elsie....and everyone else who left me a kind message today. I'm in the same situation as you Elsie, on FB anyway. We're not friends anymore but there are bits of info I can see if I look. Which I shouldn't. The tough bit will be avoiding doing this when I'm bored or feeling a bit weak. But I will try. And will tell him we can't stay in touch when we next speak. It'll be hard but the alternative is feeling like this everyday!

Gonna post some pics of our adventures in a bit. Do love the photobucket app

Not amazing at all (not to me anyway) - people with autism (even mild autism like me) just don't get body language, and I think now (with neither sadness nor happiness, so don't get me wrong, you've not upset me) about all the opportunities I've missed in my youth, when I didn't know I was autistic, and didn't pick up anyone's body language so missed the opportunity! Explains my seeming lack of social skills - people are just a split second out of sync with me.

Now, with knowledge of my own condition, I do notice that people generally ignore me or are inattentive to me - presumably because I give out no body language signals. (And they say that we are locked in our own brains and don't pay attention to them. Oh, we do!!:D We notice everything - we may not communicate it to you...but we are acutely aware of everything around us, sometimes to the point that it distracts us, but we are aware. You though - you don't even seem to realise we are there, since you detect no body language signals from us (as we don't have any transmitter of this kind), but you do realise every one of the 99% of non-autistic people around you, as they are all giving you body language, even if you detect it only subconsciously).

Although I've generalised it above, this is just the way I see it - other people, with different levels of autism and different effects of different parts of it, may experience things totally differently to how I (sometimes/often) do!:) HTH.

BTW - this isn't an autistic/non-autistic tussle, but merely it's easier to understand if put in the somewhat bald way above.
