      Dave had to rescue an long-time neighbour of ours who was being misunderstood as harassing women in the supermarket.

      He was doing nothing of the sort. He was doing his homework from the social skills classes he's been attending for 20 years now.

          We were used to being approached & asked 'How-are-you-how-is-your-family-are-you-going-on-holiday-this-year-what-did-you-do-at-the-weekend'

          The key is to just try to squeeze your answers in the very small gaps allowed. But I suspect the classes are currently focusing on dating.

          And seem not to have stressed the context in which you can approach women, compliment them & ask them out. Disastrous effects. :(

          Fortunately, Dave was able to intervene before the police were called but he'd already been grabbed by security which upset him greatly. :(

          Precisely. He's a really nice man who is severely limited socially & so career-wise by autism not instantly apparent https://twitter.com/petehague/status/909745620344279041 …

          Because he makes eye-contact. Fixed eye-contact, actually. Charitable assessments are needed. It'd be hard to see him as a danger to anyone.

          This world is hard for people who don't fit the mold socially & this can only be made harder by making that mold smaller & more rigid.
