A Dating Coach in a Box!

Dating is stressful, isn’t it? If you’re autistic, the thought of trying to meet someone new can feel exhausting. Dating while Autistic: Conversation Starters is a delightful way to keep things going when there’s an awkward silence and your mind has gone inconveniently blank.

Based on the book, Dating while Autistic (part of the Adulting while Autistic series), this nicely designed card deck, 52 cards, (with four sections) will set you up for dating success. Think of it as a dating coach in a box!

Example conversation starters:

First Date

What book could you read again and again, or what TV show have you binge-watched? What do you love about it?

Let’s Get Physical

Are you able to say No if your partner wants to try something that you don’t like or that you’re not sure about? If saying no is difficult for you, can you agree on a nonverbal signal?

Clarifying Commitment

If your life partner has a strong interest that you don’t share, how willing are you to spend time with them pursuing their interests?

Breaking Up Without Breaking

Even though this relationship has ended, what is one positive thing you learned that may be helpful in future relationships?

If you want down-to-earth guidance on how to have carefree conversations when dating, you’ve come to the right place. This savvy little card set is for you.
