I have got Aspergers, I am very shy & introverted & incapable of being out-going.

They have on previous series, so hopefully this won't be any different.

I'm not an expert on Tourettes, but from what I've seen I reckon his must be a mild form because usually when you see people with Tourettes (and for me I'm talking about TV as I've no personal experience) they shout out swear words with no control over it.

Thought so. If the Welsh rugby player ends up single and suddenly realises he's gay, I'm first in line!

Didn't the last really good looking lad with Tourette's get married to one of his dates on this programme

Oh my goodness, it was a lovely place!! It was like a cottage mansion!!
Don't know, I thought the viewers might find out what happened at the end (perhaps I'm mixing it up with First Dates) but I guess there will be a catch-up programme or in the last episode of series. |

Awww, Tammy and the Welsh guy were especially lovely.
I love this show, I'm so happy that they portray it and show it like they do rather than something tacky. |

That's ridiculous.
It was clearly stated that on appearance girls go up to him but then get uncomfortable with his tourettes and aspergers and let it go. Which just proves some people are very shallow. ![]() ![]() Make that most people and you would be closer to the mark.

![]() I was joking with the OH, that during his chat with the dating agency ladies, if the rugby guy was into MILF's, he had a threesome in the bag off. ![]() It seemed to me that on his date his aspergers worked for him and not against; his date seemed to be into him because he didn't say much, or give much away. Tonight, when the girl who had caught sepitisimia (sp) was starting to cry before her date, I was choking a bit ![]() , and was willing it to go well for her. I was chuffed when it did, whether it goes any further or not, she gained a lot from it, and will have given her confidence a big boost. Only because he was attractive. |

Being attractive helps, in many situations in life, not just in dating. And not just whether you have Aspergers or some other condition either.

Being attractive might help you get a girlfriend or partner but having Asperger's makes it difficult to keep a long term relationship.
After the 'honeymoon' period when people normally accept each other's foibles, all the bad things about having Asperger's start coming through and it takes someone with understanding to put up with them. I thought this was a good article about having a relationship with someone with Asperger's, especially the bit about mind blindness. http://www.kennethrobersonphd.com/ca...-relationship/ |

She's a very switched-on, socially aware girl but James seemed to struggle with the social awareness and conversation side of things. Not criticising him, but Chloe always got on with me and my mates (we all went to the same Asperger's social group for a time) because we were all quite socially capable so she felt on the same wavelength as us. Those two did not seem on the same wavelength at all. I could be wrong though. I'll have to ask her

Tammy was lovely and i didn't notice her disfigurement after a while as her personality shone through. The surgery she has already had is fantastic. I wish her all the best for the future, the guy she went on the date with was lovely. I hope we get a follow up to them. This is the first time i have watched this so was a bit sad we didn't get an update at the end.

Most ACCURATE and RELEVANT post in the thread. Attractive people always have an advantage in everything in life, and as unfair as that is, sadly that's just the way life is. Some are born lucky, others not.

Apart from the obliviously genetically gifted like Angelina Jolie with most attractive people its just hard work attention to detail and discipline, even Angelina wouldn't stop much traffic if she gained 50lb
Yes, of course some self discipline IS needed but FFS, just because you have self discipline it isn't going to turn you into someone attractive if you are ugly!!! |

Apparently Angelina Jolie has had a 'nose-job'. I'm unattractive & have Aspergers & depression & anxiety & OCD, I did eventually find my soul-mate at age 37 - he is 'normal'.
