Despite the problems in relationship skills experienced by many people with Aspergers syndrome, some adults can progress along the relationship continuum and are able to experience romantic and subsequently intimate personal relationships, even becoming a lifelong partner.

What is it like to be in a relationship with someone with Aspergers?

They have a hard time reading verbal and nonverbal cues like body language and facial expressions, and may have trouble making eye contact. They sometimes dont pick up on “how” something was said, only on “what” was said. People with Aspergers may also lack empathy, the ability to understand the feelings of others.
