Autism Knows No Borders

Dating & Relationships, Part 1 with the Global Autism Community


Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when love begins with acceptance.

What challenges do autistic people face when it comes to dating? 

If you’re interested in hearing the autistic perspective on dating and relationships, you’ll want to listen to this roundtable discussion with our Global Autism Community, which was originally released on March 17, 2022.

Participating in this event were autism self-advocates Olivia Hops, Thomas Iland, Mary Johnston, Scott Edgar, Taylor Duncan, and David Sharif, as well as community members Danielle Terrell, Ben Sharif, and Kia Burton.

In part 1 of this conversation, we discuss:

  • Different ways to meet people
  • Transitioning from friendship to romance
  • How to have a healthy relationship when one person is neurotypical and the other is neurodivergent
  • Long-distance relationships
  • Round-table discussions like the one you’ll hear today are open exclusively for members of our online Global Autism Community. If you’d like to attend and participate in any of our future events, sign up today at community.globalautismproject.org.
