In another topic in this particular forum, we briefly discussed something that was covered in Maxine Aston's book "Aspergers in Love: Couple Relationships and Family Affairs", which is the notion of people with Asperger's experiencing their attraction to someone based on the other person's attraction to them. There is one query that I had following a video posted in another topic that I felt is worth putting out there, and that is the consensus in regards to people with Asperger's being more susceptible to people of one's sexual preference with (what used to be) Cluster B disorders, i.e. Borderline, Narcissistic, Antisocial, and Histrionic personalities, also referred to as "high conflict" personalities. If someone's attraction to someone else is based heavily on their attraction to them, it would seem that the above mentioned predatory personality types would cater directly to that and weasel their way into that person's life.

Any thoughts?
