Anyone else with ASD rediscovering the contentedness of living as a couple again after the kids have left?
I love my kids but after being a parent for over a quarter century this next phase of life is going down just fine with me at the moment!
Pease and quiet & being able to watch TV together without someone talking over it & triggering verbal processing stress is just one of the blessings.
I wish we could arrive at that point. So many false starts amidst a general "failure to launch". We didn't recognise the signs of our own autism, let alone theirs. So now there remains a seemingly massive amount of work still to he done. :(
Oh my, I feel for you if you think they've gone and either don't or come back.
