My parents were 32 and 37 when they got married, and I know some people who didn't get married until in their 40s or even 50s, so there really is no rush.

Though I have never been a licensed relationship expert, just do not rush into a relationship with anyone that thinks would make your life whole or complete, meaning your identity is formed based on that. It is better to take the time for yourself on a journey to figure out who you are and then decide what you want in life.

I am (still) not yet diagnosed (appointment should be in June, but Corona could screw everything up) but the fact I still haven't dated anyone could be another proof I'm struggling with autism... Every relationship I manage to get on Tinder gets screwed up, and although I am not giving up, that hurts. I am not meeting people anymore cause my studies are over (or more like I gave up cause of depression and the many struggles probably due to my autism) and my town is really small and I never go out. The only way would be to move way from my parent's but financially i am still not stable enough (no work, no official diagnosis for commodities). Although I am not giving up... #4everalone....

11:14 That is something that I have been struggling with for some time. I am very judgmental of myself, so catching myself thinking this way makes me feel so ashamed, but I need to let go of my anger at myself and know that I should still enjoy how wonderful my life is now.

Fuking hell I'm the same

So glad I saw this video today. Thank you.

I had never been on a date before owing to several reasons: I do not feel that everyone should be pressured because society widely places emphasis on romantic and sexual relationships as part of the norm to the extent that anyone who does not follow this expectation is viewed as weird. They should date whomever they want of their volition not because it is expected of everyone. The second reason is that people often rush into relationships that they are not ready for and therefore make mistakes that in the long run. People would never take the time to notice when they are not at all comfortable to be with someone, they should not do it. Another reason is that everyone believes that romantic relationships are important in a person's life that friendships are also important as well.

Thanks to both of you for your wonderful Channel. I am wondering if you can give any advice or even do a video on Autistic youngsters who are being sexually groomed and exploited online. Research shows that Autistic youngsters are more vulnerable to online sexual exploitation than the general population. I am working with a teenager who was groomed over a 6 month period by two perpetrators male and a female. She seems to be taking in the information about the dangers, but continued to pursue the online encounter enjoying her online sexual experience and just brushing it off as 'oh they were just a couple of wierdo's but they intrigued me I was curious about them'. Do you have any advice? I tend to use a lot of videos to get the info across to her. Many thanks.

I feel like the 'unskilled' workers in essential jobs need praise because they are normally so undervalued. But the medical staff don't want thanks, they don't want to be heroes. They are being coerced into being heroes against their will. They want protective equipment and workers rights and more beds and more ventilators and more funding. I mean I imagine shop staff want that too, but we praise our shop staff too little and call our medical staff heroes too much. Burnt out, anxious stressed medical staff are the norm. Burnt out, anxious, stressed medical staff are also more likely to make mistakes, cut corners, and fall back on old tropes and defaults when it comes to diagnosing the marginal stuff like autism, bipolar, CFS, etc

*I'm saying this before I watch the video, because it's a major personal issue... I just found out I have a daughter. Paternity test came back positive. I'm not interested in having sex, but we want to be together for our child. What now?* I also work at Amazon which deals with shipping essential items across all of the United States and possible World depending on the circumstance! Thank you for your appraisal. It means a lot considering that I'm putting my family at risk.

[@thekingtornadomanshow]

There's movies out there about Autistics and Relationships

[@sannepowerlifting7304]

[@GamerSaga]

i am curious to know if nathan and jess have the same interests? like i see nathan is in to star wars and video games, is jess in to that stuff as well or does their relationship work with out alot of similar interests?

[@OakCroftFilms]

Not all the same interests. Jess isn't into as many videos games and she is not as into Star Wars as I am. But we both have similar interests in terms of philosophy and certain types of TV shows.

[@nurialuna6096]

Hi! I am trying to watch the video from my laptop, and the audio is too low :/

[@Dayglodaydreams]

How did you have middle school relationships?

[@roughwoof]

2:44 like CNN (CLOWN NEWS NETWORK) MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and even Fox sometimes! Real news is on KZbin with MARK, THE RED ELEPHANTS, Colion Noir, Kaitlen Bennet, Blaze TV, Slightly Offensive, the Amazing Lucas and Larry Elder.

[@Lolypop123]

I would not like to live in USA cause of the gun laws I’m not saying that your country is bad I just wouldn’t wanna live there at this time even before cause of the school shootings but you’re country does have a lot of problems when it comes to Regular society but great vidoe I’m autistic too I hate it when people are so ignorant about autism and autism is a life long development disorder that effects how you communicate and relate to others some autistic people may stim make sounds repeat word flap Hands listen to the same song on repeat so I wanted to tell you I know about autism and happy autism awareness and acceptance day

[@DJ-ky4fk]
