i"m wondering if my partner is Autistic, how do i approach this please

NAS65188

Hello there, thank you for being out there to talk to. I have been with my partner for nearly 3 years and feel he is an active autistic adult. i have taken the test myself and since doing so thought it would be a good way to broach the topic with him. How do i pursue this, without pressure. This is personal and i dont want to list the reasons i feel this way, wouldnt want to embarrass him. i would like to go forward in our relationship and i really believe that looking towards this would help us, both, greatly. Is there anyone out there who has helped, or been helped, by the partner to get the test/help to go forward? thank you for your time. i look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time.

  • You could talk generally about the online test to see if it piques his interest. Something along the lines of "A few of us in work took the test out of interest and we found the results interesting etc". Personally I only considered the possibility that I might be autistic by chance after watching a film, based on Daniel Lightwing (a mathematician), called X+Y . When watching this film I could see some similarities in the main characters life experiences and my own. This prompted me to do some research of my own. 

    Hope this helps
