Parental reports were obtained for 25 ASD adolescents and adults (13-36years), and 38 typical adolescents and adults (13-30years). The ASD group relied less upon peers and friends for social (OR=52.16, p<.01) and romantic learning (OR=38.25, p<.01). Individuals with ASD were more likely to engage in inappropriate courting behaviours (χ2 df=19 = 3168.74, p<.001) and were more likely to focus their attention upon celebrities, strangers, colleagues, and ex-partners (χ2 df=5=2335.40, p<.001), and to pursue their target longer than controls (t=−2.23, df=18.79, p<.05). These results show that the diagnosis of ASD is pertinent when individuals are prosecuted under stalking legislation in various jurisdictions.
