Relationships Challenging for People with Autism

Housemates Edward Wren and
Ana Clements spend time together.

RICHMOND, Va. -- Edward Wren used to automatically assume that when he liked someone romantically, that person returned the feelings. So he used to "jump right in," the 29-year-old said.
"It's hard to grasp where a relationship is," said Wren, who lives in a home operated by Richmond House, a nonprofit organization that provides supportive living to young adults who have higher functioning forms of autism such as Asperger's syndrome.
