Look, you have to be blatant about it and hopeful if not faithful that he’ll improve over time so you won’t always have to be so obvious. maybe start out asking him questions like, “have you ever been to a formal?” and then keep asking him creative, pointed (but unserious) questions until the realization hits him in the face . His face will be priceless. Enjoy!

just ask him. autistic people (me) like people who are understanding of our difficulties and will openly and clearly communicate with us. constantly having to guess what you mean is exhausting, stressful, and sometimes humiliating

he has asked me to step back. he wants to do the work and he wants me to trust him that he is doing it. so i have stepped back. i just want him to be able to see the opportunity here and not glance over it. me asking him would overstep the boundary he has set with me
