[QUOTE="katya02, post: 237676, member: 2884"] It probably is a combination issue, both social and maturity ... the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) changes so much about how a person perceives and relates to others. Some of the books on Asperger's address this issue. Quite a few adult Aspies (and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) people, I expect) choose not to attempt intimate long-term relationships because of their social difficulties. Others do, and have successful relationships. But when you think of the more recent research findings that more people report themselves as 'asexual' than as gay within the population, asexual meaning truly not interested and not just temporarily, perhaps unwillingly, celibate, it's not that unusual to know someone who isn't looking for an intimate relationship. Does Travis seem to want a relationship or be unhappy at not being in one? Or does he seem content? [/QUOTE]
