Autism: Man says he struggles with online dating websites

An autistic man has opened up about the difficulties he has faced with online dating.

Andrew Edwards, from Wrexham, hopes to find the love of his life, but says that dating websites - even those specifically intended for people with autism - can be a struggle because he relies on being able to pick up on visual social cues.

The 39-year-old added: “The constant ghosting is quite confusing for someone with autism and also the etiquette of online dating, I find very difficult.”
