Parallel Abstract 〈TOP〉

The autism spectrum disorder (ASD) population has seen an annual growth; related studies have also shown a similar trend. However, these studies have mainly focused on the behavioral changes of people with ASD and providing them with job skill training, but their needs for intimate relationships are often ignored. Only a small percentage of people with ASD have been able to have a romantic relationship Therefore, people with ASD, their parents, and related professionals have a difficult time finding related studies and using ASD people’s experiences to understand ASD people’s romantic relationships as well as the problems they encounter. Subsequently, ASD people’s experiences cannot be used as examples for other people with ASD to learn.
	In this study, a qualitative research method and the snowball sampling method were employed to recruit participants. The study subsequently learned the subjective experiences of three people with mild autism spectrum disorder in developing a romantic relationship and the interactive experiences between two people with ASD. The study results are as follows: Although people with ASD had a difficult time understanding what love was, they were willing to express their love for each other through their actions, and were direct in confirming each other’s love. The way in which ASD people expressed their love (i.e., direct and holding nothing back) could easily made them targets of ridicule as they grew up. However, this behavior helped them to successfully find their mates. Second, men with ASD were more prone to crossing the boundary when interacting with the opposite sex, which hurt their chances to be in a romantic relationship. However, through peer- and self-learning as well as receiving the reminders and guidance from their mates, they gradually learned to respect their mates’ emotional needs, achieving favorable romantic relationship balance. Some studies have shown no significant differences in mating preferences between people with ASD and those without ASD. The male participants indicated that physical appearance was the primary factor determining whether they dated another person, whereas the female participants indicated that emotional bond (i.e., whether the other person was their “soul mate”) was the primary factor. Nevertheless, over time and through the guidance of their peers, the male participants gradually became aware that interaction serves as the true nature of their relationship with their mates. Third, of the three participants who were in a long-term intimate relationship, the key to maintaining this relationship was communication and being tolerant. People with ASD were required to listen to the needs of their mates and adjust their behavior in a timely manner. Concurrently, their mates were required to provide timely guidance and to adjust their own mental states. People with ASD and their mates respecting and being tolerant of each other were essential to maintaining a smooth and equal relationship. Finally, the lack of personalized ASD sexual education prevented people with ASD from having correct, appropriate guidance and engaging in relevant discussions as they grew up. To develop the skills needed for entering a romantic relationship, people with ASD must endeavor in self-exploration and receive others’ assistance. The study results showed that peers providing effective and individualized strategies can successfully change ASD people’s views on romantic love and improve their skills to be in a romantic relationship.
	Accordingly, this study proposed the following recommendations: (a) Increase the depth and breadth of sexuality education for people with ASD; (b) Elevate the sexual education knowledge and skills of the parents of people with ASD; and (c) Have people with ASD practice being flexible and able to listen to the needs of their mates.
