A really nice guy is hitting on me right now. He's very complimentary. The only thing that worries me is that he says he has Asperger's Syndrome. Does anyone know anything about this syndrome? Is it dangerous to be around/date people who have it? I don't have any type of mental problem. I want to go out with him but I'm a little scared of what he might do... (not sexually) He also says that he has a photographic memory and he cannot think in words. Is this going to be a problem in our relationship?
please give me advice. (link)

I think it perfectly fine to date a guy with Aspergers. Aspergers is a kind of autism. Some people with aspergers can have little to no signs of the syndrome, and some with the syndrome you will notice are a little different. I work in the school system and have had experience with a few students living with this syndrome, in no way were these students dangerous. One of the biggest issues people with aspergers face are in social situations. Sometimes they may lack the social skills that a person without this syndrome would have. Yes people with aspergers may process thoughts differently, but they feel just the same as us. SO give him a chance and get to know him just like you would any other guy you meet. Judge him on his personality and the way he treats you, and the type of person he is, rather than judging him by a label that was given to him.
