One thing that I think was wrong about the book was the emphasis on the formalities, practicalities and etiquette side of �dating�. I know this is an area in which people on the spectrum can make huge stuff-ups, but I have doubts about how important this stuff is at the end of the day.

Great review overall, just one point to the above: I get the impression that, as you suspect, the emphasis on "formality" in dating is mainly down to this being aimed at a mainly US audience.

I don't know what this is like elsewhere, but the main impression I get from people's personal reports, and from people who spent exchange years in the US in their late teens, is that formality and rules in dating are given much more consideration in the US than in many other areas of the world. You have to watch everything from how you open the door to how much you drink because one small step and you "fail" the test.

This may well explain why the book seems to put a disproportionate amount of value on this.

I am the blue one...
