Dating a man with autism

Started off as a platonic relationship

Summary:  Andrea shares the story of her feeling strong attraction someone who is not only half her age but is also psychologically troubled. She has had a deep friendship and platonic relationship with him for a while but is now finding it hard to resist him. She says:
I am afraid the young man I am describing, despite having social anxiety disorder might be a high autistic or Asperger's as it is now called. He is very introverted and I am very extroverted; so I think that was my main attraction to him when we met was that he could talk to me and was not shy and he was my tenant for some time, although not now.

He eventually wants to meet a young woman, fall in love and have children but it is not happening. He has a good degree and manages a job in which he is underachieving but because of his condition he finds it hard to get one that suits his academic skills. He is tall, very handsome with large cornflower blue eyes, surrounded by thick eyelashes, dark blond hair and a figure to die for, plus added to all this, an interesting aquiline profile.

He is really funny, understanding and very supportive of me. He does not express himself well normally but now finds that not too difficult when we are together. I think he does find me attractive but we have both agreed that we can only be friends. This all started when he moved out as my tenant and found his own apartment and asked my help to decorate it and find furniture, carpets, etc. Since then he has kept in regular touch with me, but I do think sometimes that it is just because he does not handle change well.

He is coming on holiday with me for four days but we are having separate rooms.
I agree with you that for me now life is short and if this gives me pleasure, which it does, then I should go for it although I realize that I will lose him soon either to another woman or because the relationship goes over to something more. I suppose to take one day at a time and consider myself really lucky that I have such a nice and loyal friend and companion when many women of my age do not have anyone when they are either divorced or widowed.
