Résumé : |
In this paper, the similarities and differences between the experiences and perceptions of people with Asperger syndrome (AS) and the general population (neurotypicals, NT5), with regard to their social and sexual relationships and behaviour are explored. It uses comments from couples where one partner has AS and the other is NT and also examines comments made by respondents with AS to a large-scale survey. Reasons underlying the differences are suggested which give pointers to the ways in which friendships and relationships might be enhanced. Locating the problems within the person with AS or viewing the difficulties experienced as a necessary consequence 0f AS is both inaccurate and damaging, so the authors suggest that it is encumbent upon NTs to be empathic and to change their behaviour to facilitate and support social encounters for people with AS. |
